Mehso-so

A psychotic killer roams a small town and they know it‘s probably one of their own. Not my kind of book, but I know for many of you this will have just the right spookiness.

Gory from the beginning. The storyline is good so far. Update- NOPE! 👎🏼 Since it was an audiobook, I tuned it out at times. Meh is what I say.

Spent part of the afternoon working on my challenge lists for 2017. I'm doing #litsyatoz, the Litsy Bingo challenge, and if I have time the Read Harder challenge. I've only double dipped a few times, and most are things that've been languishing on my TBR forever. I think this one is a good-looking list, a nice mix of heavy and lighter, long and not as long, men and women. The Read Harder challenge is going to be really hard, I think.

Bloomingjen if you have a lot of tbr books, you could do the mount tbr challenge also 8y
Hollie I'm hoping Hidden Figures will be good and I can use it in my US history class in the future! 8y
