Merry Christmas friends!⁠ ⁠

And for those who don’t celebrate Christmas, I still wish you a happy day!⁠ ⁠

Today in our #BestReadsOf2020 we are choosing our best out of comfort zone read.⁠

⁠ Horror is a genre way out of my comfort zone and yet I have read The Diviners by Libba Bray and Mexican Gothic by Sylvia Garcia Moreno this year!⁠

⁠ But my winner is…⁠ ⁠ 🎅🏻

The Sun Down Motel by Simone St James⁠

This was totally an “Instagram and the hype made me buy it” kind of read.⁠ ⁠ I was hesitant as people talked of ghosts and I am a scaredy cat, not into horror at all but after The Diviners by Libba Bray, also with horror element, I gave it a chance and … I am so happy!⁠ ⁠ Everything was honed to perfection in this book.⁠ ⁠ The atmosphere, oppressive, haunted, mysterious with the tension growing along Viv’s obsession to discover the truth.⁠ ⁠ The character really well fleshed out, main and side characters.⁠ ⁠ The setting and the place, between the seventies/eighties and our modern world.⁠

By the way, have your read other books by her and are they as good as this one?

What was your out of comfort zone read this year?

Thanks for reading!
