Julie’s Top 5 of 2013

 

1. Locke and Key By Joe Hill

A series of graphic novels about siblings overcoming tragedies in a very weird house!

2. Magic Rises by Ilona Andrews

Continuing Kate Daniels’ story in the magic-plagued city of Atlanta.  Kate is a very strong character and I love to read how she saves the world!

3. House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski

A scary book that is difficult to read but not the way you are thinking!

4. Jack Reacher (the movie starring Tom Cruise)

5. Poppet by Mo Hayder

Her books scare me but I absolutely love to read about DI Jack Caffery and Flea.  She seems to put a little otherworldliness in a world where you wish that was the explanation.
