Not a Sound | 
pick4⭐ I‘ve never read a book before with a hearing impaired MC. It did heighten the suspense when it came to her sleuthing…like I was so much more worried about her when she was doing her investigating. At least she had Stitch, her service dog, with her. Which, by the way, Stitch steals the show…💗 him. The who-dun-it, without giving anything away, kind of made me sick to my stomach that something like that could go down….that‘s just not right.
pickOldest book on my TBR added February 26, 2018.
A tragic accident leaves nurse Amelia Winn deaf. She spirals into a depression that causes her to lose everything that matters—her job, her husband. Two years later she discovers the body of a fellow nurse in the dense bush by the river, deep in the woods near her cabin and she is plunged into a disturbing mystery that could shatter the carefully reconstructed pieces of her life all over again.
pickPage turner. The main character is deaf and I enjoyed a book from a different perspective. The descriptiveness for what life is like with not being able to hear was fantastic and eye opening.
Look who just moved to my hometown! Haven‘t read any of her books but I‘ll have to give them a try. #nextpagebooks #bookclub

Today‘s Prompt: SOUND OF SILENCE
As if losing your hearing because of a hit-and-run driver wasn't enough trauma, Amelia and her service dog, Stitch, found a dead body of a fellow nurse on the beach.
If you enjoy suspense at its best, you won't want to miss NOT A SOUND. I couldn't stop reading. 5/5
FULL REVIEW: https://tinyurl.com/y5tlboth
pickNot A Sound ended up being my favorite thriller I've read so far. The main character in the book is deaf after an accident and has a service dog Stitch. Her point of view made the whole situation more intense I think. It felt like you were right there too. I will have to look into the author's other books
I've been listening to the audiobook of Not A Sound while working on my projects lately. It's been a good one so far!
What else do you do on a snow day? Starting books 2 of the day. Going to finish my last two Heather Gudenkauf books today. :) #lovethese #snowdays #perfect for reading
pickThis page-turner was unputtdownable. When the deaf protagonist finds the body of an old friend in the river, her life as a former nurse, current unemployed alcoholic becomes more complicated than she could have imagined, and she learns that she‘s even stronger than she ever thought possible.
I was, of course, the only person reading in the god-forsaken Apple store this afternoon. But this book is so gripping right from the jump, the din faded away and I nearly missed being called for my turn at the Genius Bar.
A picture of my mom (pictured second from left) and her siblings and their mother. New blog post up about how much I identified with Not a Sound and how these three people inspire me daily. I would love for you guys to check it out! Link is in the bio!!
pickAhh don't have a pic of the audiobook, but this was a good, quick listen in the car. Excellent pacing and you felt for the main character. Was satisfied with the confrontation of the murderer- Gudenkauf always delivers!
pickI have just finished reading this book at the weekend and all i can say is omG! This was such a great read with many surprising twists and a fantastic ending! Really loved this book, i have read the other books this author has written and loved them all though i think this is going to be my favourite. Would recommend to any looking at this book or even this author. She does not disappoint!
Psychological thriller set in Iowa written by an Iowan.

pickEnjoyed this one. This is the second book I've read by her and most likely won't be the last.
Reading before sunrise...Since back to school, I haven't had any time to read. I've been too busy trying to get a hang of things as being an RSP teacher. Well since I can't sleep, might as well get back to a book I started weeks ago.

So far really enjoying this one!
Had "Fig & Pig" for lunch with my current read on #NationalBookLoversDay. #lunch #librarybook #bookeats
My new read. Hopefully I don't stay up all night. I do have to work in the morning.

pickYay for Iowa authors!!!! This is an excellent mystery/thriller. A tragic accident leaves nurse Amelia deaf. Depression and drinking estrange her from her husband and step-daughter. When she discovers the body of a woman who used to be a good friend, Amelia stops at nothing to find the killer. But who is trying to stop Amelia? This is a great page turner!!!
I managed to complete 12 of the 24 #24in48 #24in48readathon This was my first time participating, and I managed to read 12 hours while still having a busy weekend, so I'm happy.

pickHeather Gudenkauf's newest novel is full of suspense and is a return to the writing that drew me to her work.
⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
My current library stack and I have 5 more books coming! Yikes! I need a long weekend or two!
pickAnother good read by Ms Gudenkauf. Review on my blog. http://silversolara.blogspot.com. 5/5 rating
One perk of coming home from vacation is picking up all my library holds. And yes, my husband is photo bombing. However, he was completely oblivious to what I was doing.
pickI like anything that Heather Gudenkauf writes! Her book about the social worker is still my favorite of hers but this one was pretty darned good! I also like the fact that the heroine is deaf, as we so rarely see heroines with a hearing disability.
pickHeather Gudenkauf is from my home state. Iowa!!!! I've read all of her books and love them. This one did not disappoint. Hopefully I will get to see her at one of her book signings in the area. Way to represent our Hawkeyes!!!🏈🏀🏉
pickAn easy going mystery/thriller featuring Amelia, a nurse that lost her hearing, and her service dog Stitch. This is my first book by this author but I will certainly look for her other books.
In Chicago today , it's definitely too hot to be outside , sol I just stayed inside with my books 📚!
pickGreat thriller!! I could not put it down. I read it in 2 sittings because it was so intriguing.
pickA good book for what it is: a plot-driven mystery that kept me engaged. I'd have liked to see more development of the characters, especially the late- deafened protagonist, but it was a page-turner and good choice for me during this busy time (end of school, parents coming to visit soon).
pickThe opening pages sucked me in and kept me reading quickly. I finished the book in two sittings.
Amelia is an ER nurse surrounded by a constant
cacophony of sounds and then in a violent instant, she's enveloped in silence.
Amelia made some bad choices trying to deal with the aftermath of this incident that took her hearing. She ended up losing her marriage, her profession, and her relationship with her daughter. Continued below 👇🏻
Currently reading this mystery/thriller ARC I got a few months ago from a local indie. Good description of terminology here. Picked it up b/c main character is deaf. I am too, but more like big D. Interestingly, author is deaf herself and her website describes her as hearing-impaired. Maybe that description was penned before this book was. This just came out last month. So far so good although it's a departure from what I usually read.
I love being the first person to read a brand new book from the library! She's a favorite author of mine and I have been waiting for this one.
I promise to take good care of it. ❤️📚

So, today I took a walk by the river, I set up a book post and snapped my shot. When I went to grab my book, I freaked out to see a head of a snake beside it! 😳😬🐍
pickWhat a great book!!!
Highly recommended!
If you do audiobooks, the narrator is awesome!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Just started this. It seems like i've been waiting forever.
Got this ARC novel (free) from the bookstore today. Whenever I see titles like this, or w/ "Silent" or "Silence" in it, I always suspect it'll be about deafness. Yep, MC is late-deafened. Pub date May 2017. Anyone read this yet? I went there to get some bookish goodies to fill out my Cupid package (and s/he will now have one extra book, picked up another that I think s/he might like ?). Mailing #cupidgoespostal package & pic, both tomorrow!?
so-so
