Happy 4th of July! Just reading some “Final Girls” by Riley Sager ✌️ #summerween
Hey Littens! Exciting news! I've launched a book blog! It focuses on books about Final Girls (horror/thriller genre) and includes reviews, movie pairings, and book lists. 2 reviews are up so far: Final Girls (Riley Sager) and There's No Way I'd Die First (Lisa Springer). I've also posted a list of 10 Fear Street books I think would make great slasher flicks 🔪🖤
I hope you'll check it out 😊 slashingpages.com
pickSurprising twists and a final one you cannot guess! Riley Sager did an exceptional job with this one.
Thoroughly enjoyed my re-read of this. There are some spots that feel like they're stumbling, but they do come together eventually... for the most part.
Have a super busy week ahead so I'm sharing an update. Trying to get back on track for my yearly goal. 👏 👏 👏

I honestly can't tell anymore if I truly have insomina, or if I'm just addicted to reading when I should be sleeping 😅

pickBook 43 of 2023! Holy moly! I thought I had this all figured out, but I definitely DID NOT!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Haha my kinda lady.
Happy Saturday Reading, Littens 📚 ❤️
Ending my day on a high... a sugar high 😅
As an actual film-geek, I will say, the Final Girl is a bit more complex than that... but if I'm trying to NOT be pretentious... I guess that about sums it up lol 🤓😆
Hey Littens! I've started a bookclub for horror fans on Fable: The Final Girl Bookclub. Kicking off with Final Girls by Riley Sager. Anyone is welcome to join!

pickDisclaimer…the ending is a bit wild and left me feeling odd, BUT the rest of the book leading up to the ending was awesome! So just be ready to have the final 15 pages make you say “wait…huh…?” If you love true crime podcasts, thriller novels, mystery, repressed memory, characters who indulge in the ol‘ 5-finger-discount, and baking…yes, baking…then read this book. Honestly, I am glad I read it, just wish the ending wasn‘t SO twisty and turny.
pickTW: mention of sexual abuse, drug and alcohol abuse
I had mixed feelings about this ending. The story itself is fantastic but I was surprised of how the character acted in the epilogue - it kind of threw me off.
If you love a mystery, I‘d recommend this one.

“Y0U SH0ULDN‘T BE ALIVE. Y0U SH0ULD‘VE DIED IN THAT CABIN. IT WAS Y0UR DESTINY T0 BE SACRIFICED.” Whoever wrote it had used a typewriter. The keys had been struck so hard that, on the page, the letters looked like burn marks seared into leather. Every ‘o‘ was actually a zero, meaning that key was likely broken.” 🔪 🩸 🖤

Finally opening this as my evening time / Kindle quick read.
so-soNope. This one was just not for me (and that's the first of the 4 of Riley Sager's books I've read so far that I've said that about). It took me a very long time to even be remotely interested in the story because every single character is unlikable...and weird (as in, the murderer could have been absolutely anyone and I wouldn't have been surprised). The ending was better than I thought it would be, considering. Still just an okay story though.

My first Sager novel that has led me to be a fan of his ever since 🔪

My reading stack for the cabin the Hubs are at, celebrating 20 years of marriage and 20 years of him having to build bookcases, step over piles of books, and seeing most of our expendable income (and then some) spent on books. ♥️

pickMy second Riley Sager book. I enjoyed it even more then The Last Time I Lied.
pickI start my spooky season in September and I knew I wanted to kick off with Riley Sager. This was everything I wanted it to be and managed to thrill and surprise me left and right. Now I need suggestions for what spooky book to read next so please send me some recs!
pickLike a salt n vinegar crisps and chocolate, thrillers are my comfort read and this ticked all the boxes. It dipped a little in the middle & it didn‘t live up to my expectations after Home Before Dark but still a good solid thriller. 👍
pickI mildly suspected part of the ending, but not all of it. I finished(more like devoured)the last hundred pages or so in one sitting.
pickSlasher films are so 1980. Slasher books however, now that is the mood for 2022. I finished this book in a day! The pacing was perfect, the suspense was there, and you never knew who you could trust. Loved this!
pickI have yet to be disappointed by Riley Sager. He kind of just swooped in out of no where and took us all by surprise. He writes the kind of thrillers I thoroughly enjoy.

pickAs a fan of horror, the cliche yet iconic final girl trope has always been my favourite. A “final girl” refers to the last girl left alive to confront the killer, and hopefully live to tell the story. I jumped at the chance to read a book specifically about these girls, and i dont regret it at all. the constant plot twists and shocking revelations had me hooked until the very end. Lots of scenes scary enough to only be read in a well-lit room!
1. Mysteries ans thrillers for me. I'll occasionally dip into spooky horror (Simone St. James) but I'm not a gore fan.
2. Silence For The Dead - Simone St. James
Thanks for the tag @BeeMagical . Fun questions @TheSpineView

I always love Sager and this book is no different🩸🖤
I read this back to back with Hendrix and they were two very interesting takes on Final Girls🙍🏼♀️
For fans of slashers🔪🩸- these are definitely on theme!
One is dead. One is hiding. The other can‘t remember.
pickYou guys this book had my mind REELING. This novel follows Quincy after a life altering trauma and her struggle through recovery. Her life is upended when an unexpected guest arrives at her front door intending to dig up Quinn's past. The ending of this book caught me off guard and was a bit of a let down. Of the two potential suspects I had in mind, the actual killer was disappointing. Still a great read!

pickThe pacing was a bit slow in spots but overall I really liked this one. I love an unreliable narrator and an ending I didn‘t guess ahead of time. 🗡🗡🗡🗡
“Ten years ago, six friends went on vacation. One made it out alive…. the only thing worse than being a Final Girl is being a dead one.”
so-soFINAL GIRLS. To be a survivor. This book has me left with a love hate relationship after reading this. The first 30 chapters were dragged out. I kept thinking, “Good Lord just get to the point already.” It didn‘t really have me hooked wanting to know more. It had me rather annoyed. The last 10 chapters were the good parts. The unfolding of everything and it all came into place. The ending wasn‘t what I was expecting- in a good way. 3 out of 5 ⭐️
