2014 February Reading List

The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories by H.P. Lovecraft  - I was quite disappointed by this short story collection. The only stories that stood out were The Outsiders and The Colour Out of Space, and as it turned out I had read them before. The rest were mostly a filler and too repetitive to count. 3/5 stars Amazon Bookdepository

The Thing on the Doorstep and Other Weird Stories by H.P. Lovecraft  - The stories worth mentioning are The Thing on the Doorstep and The Music of Erich Zann. At the Mountains of Madness was way too long. 4/5 stars Amazon Bookdepository

The Dreams in the Witch House and Other Weird Stories by H.P. Lovecraft  - The weakest story collection out of the three of them. None of the stories really stood out, other than maybe The Cats of Ulthar and that because it’s about cats. 3/5 stars Amazon Bookdepository

Cress by Marissa Meyer – After reading so much Lovecraft, I felt like washing my brain with soap and I just had to move on to something lighter. The plot felt more disjointed than in the other books, some character progress was questionable, and I didn’t care that much for Cress’ silliness. Winter looks promising as a character, though. 3/5 stars Amazon Bookdepository
