Dracula by Bram Stoker
When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help
Count Dracula with the purchase of a London house, he makes horrifying
discoveries about his client and his castle. Soon afterwards, a number of
disturbing incidents unfold in England: an unmanned ship is wrecked at Whitby;
strange puncture marks appear on a young woman’s neck; and the inmate of a
lunatic asylum raves about the imminent arrival of his ‘Master’. In the ensuing
battle of wits between the sinister Count Dracula and a determined group of
adversaries, Bram Stoker created a masterpiece of the horror genre, probing
deeply into questions of human identity and sanity, and illuminating dark
corners of Victorian sexuality and desire.
To Kill A Mockingbird by by Harper Lee
'Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin
to kill a mockingbird.'
A lawyer's advice to
his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel -
a black man falsely charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young
eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the
irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the
1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is
pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of
history will only tolerate so much.
To Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story, an anti-racist novel, a
historical drama of the Great Depression and a sublime example of the Southern
writing tradition.
A Man's Head by
Georges Simenon's
A rich American widow
and her maid have been stabbed to death in a brutal attack. All the evidence
points to Joseph, a young drifter, and he is soon arrested. But what is his
motive? Or is he just a pawn in a wider conspiracy?
Inspector Maigret believes the police have the wrong man and lets him
escape from prison to prove his innocence. Perhaps, with Joseph on the loose,
the real murderer will surface.
A deadly game of cross and double-cross has begun…
The Little Prince by Antoine de
Saint-Exupéry
One thing we all can agree on is that everyone is a child in their own adult
bodies. This book lets you relive that tini tiny part of you. The magic about
The Little Prince is everyone has their own take away of the book. This book is
translated to English from French. If you understand or appreciate French, the
deliciousness of that fact can affect you in addition as cherry on the cake of
the storyline. The book won't even take you a week to read even if you are a
beginner or slow reader. The key to enjoying this amazing piece of work is a
'Little' imagination.
Welcome to Dead House (Book #1 in
Goosebumps Series)
Amanda and Josh think the old house they have
just moved into is weird. Spooky. Possibly haunted. And the town of Dark Falls
is pretty strange, too. — But their parents don't believe them. You'll get used
to it, they say. Go out and make some new friends. — So Amanda and Josh do. But
these creepy new friends are not exactly what their parents had in mind.
Because they want to be friends...Forever.
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A
famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a
grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most
desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a
fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never
speaks another word.
Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of
explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery
that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price
of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the
tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London.
Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has
waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination
to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes
him down a twisting path into his own motivations―a search for the truth that
threatens to consume him....
Flipped Paperback by Wendelin Van
Draanen
The first time she saw him, she flipped. The first
time he saw her, he ran. That was the second grade, but not much has changed by
the seventh. Juli says: “My Bryce. Still walking around with my first kiss.” He
says: “It’s been six years of strategic avoidance and social discomfort.” But
in the eighth grade everything gets turned upside down: just as Bryce is
thinking that there’s maybe more to Juli than meets the eye, she’s thinking
that he’s not quite all he seemed.
This is a classic romantic comedy of errors told in
alternating chapters by two fresh, funny voices.
The updated anniversary edition contains 32 pages
of extra backmatter: essays from Wendelin Van Draanen on her sources of
inspiration, on the making of the movie of Flipped, on why she’ll never
write a sequel, and a selection of the amazing fan mail she’s received.
