Weekly Reading List #36

By Cynthia Ayala

Hey there readers! I hope everyone had a great week. It was midterms for me and wouldn’t you guess it, I was sick. Congestion that was, is, killing me. I was so miserable on Friday that my teacher let me go home halfway through the class and I was in a daze and then yesterday, I wanted to get work done and I was stuck in bed trying to get rid of a migraine that went away at 1 in the morning. Luckily it’s gone now so I think I’m finally on the med. The winter air was just not doing me any favors.

Anyway, here’s what’s on my reading list for the coming week. As always, photos and synopsis’ are courtesy of Goodreads.

Hannibal Season 2 – Just a Dream?

By: Cynthia Ayala

I’m a huge fan of Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal. Even Hannibal Rising has a great premise coupled with a thought out cast.
