pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a different sort of mystery. I didn't love it quite as much as Big Little Lies, but I did love it. The audio narration was terrific as well.

pickGood on audio.
(Fawns in my back yard).
so-soMeh. I‘m not usually one to see things coming (I‘m not trying to, I‘m just enjoying the story) but I saw a lot of these twists coming. Also, the characters were not very likable. I didn‘t dislike it enough to not finish it but I definitely didn‘t love it either.
pickI loved this one! It was truly captivating and I found myself saying “just one more chapter” each time I picked it up. The intertwined lives of all the characters was so well thought out and really played on the ripple effect idea of one small action having far reaching impacts on the lives of others. It was raw and tender with a vulnerable look at the little secrets we all keep to protect ourselves and those around us
so-so⭐️⭐️? Just not my kind of book.
How well do you know your husband?
Cecilia Fitzpatrick, devoted mother, successful Tupperware business owner and efficient P&C President, has found a letter from her husband.
"For my wife, Cecilia Fitzpatrick, to be opened only in the event of my death".
But Cecilia's husband isn't dead, he's on a business trip. And when she questions him about it on the phone, Cecilia senses that John-Paul is lying.
pickLately I‘ve been craving these suspenseful, mysterious stories that also are a little light and fun - Liane Moriarty has come through twice this month for me, first with Apples Never Fall and now The Husbands Secret! 🌸
pickThis was a great book. I have really enjoys liane moriarty‘s books.

so-soA soapy family drama with too many secrets and too many coincidences. A quick read.
pickExcellent on audio, all the stories came together in such a tragic twist. The epilogue was a story in itself - fantastic!
so-soA wonderful last day at the Sydney Writer‘s festival. Today started off with Indira Naidoo & Delia Falconer where I shed a tear, then an interesting free lecture on architecture & cemeteries followed by Diana Reid & Allee Richards, the discovery of Maxine Beneba Clarke, then Liane Moriarty interviewed by Caroline Overington who got very nosy & last of all David Williamson (a playwright who I hated in high school) interviewed by Trent Dalton.
Reading with the little pup pup. The puppy stage is fun but I'm also really looking forward to when he gets older and hopefully lazy.

pickTypical Moriarty, full of drama, a little mystery, a lot of upper middle class women. It went by pretty fast, kept me engaged, but it‘s not particularly memorable. It‘s my kind of unwind-read, if I‘m not up for a rom-com.
pickI couldn‘t put this one down! Just like Big Little Lies, Moriarty does a wonderful job of switching between multiple points of view to keep you on your toes. Cecilia Fitzpatrick finds a letter containing her husband‘s darkest secret, meant to be read after he dies. In a Pandoric moment, uncovering this secret while he still lives turns her world upside-down. Would you open the letter if you saw it? Not gonna lie, I think I would 👀

so-soWas a good book to read, did confuse me in the beginning so took a lot of concentration. But over all was a good read!!! 📚
pickLoved it! This is totally my type of book. I could hardly put this one down, and it got me out of my reading slump!! 🎊🎉
The epilogue especially was so good!
⭐️5/5 stars⭐️
pickBetween paper books and audiobooks I‘m tackling my TBR! Enjoyed the holiday reads. The tagged was good. Second Moriarty. Liked how she showed how interconnected lives could be, and how one act or decision could impact many other lives.
pickI‘m on a Liane Moriarty kick! Liked this one overall. Few parts were dated, but the plot went a different way than I expected. 4⭐️
pickI thought I had it all figured out... and then she throws the shocking part in like always.
so-soThis novel was fine. A little too tied-up-in-a-bow, but it worked as an audiobook on walks and doing housework and as a curl-up-on-the-couch paperback, although it was a challenge to shift between the two because the chapters don't line up between the two versions. Curious what other differences there are, but not curious enough to re-read.
Item 23 for the #litsybitsy scavenger hunt is "lane way." I'm not sure we have those in San Diego. This is the closest I've found so far. It smells like eucalyptus and sage.
? The Husband's Secret
? 4.99 miles
I'm alternating between the paperback and the audio for the tagged book and the chapters don't line up. Anyone know why that happens? Different editions for different countries, maybe?

Pedestrian bridge for the #litsybitsy scavenger hunt (item 21). I love pedestrian bridges, but I don't use this one much because it has lots of blind corners around which one can stumble upon someone sleeping.

? 2.45 miles. At one point I had to walk in the bike lane because there was a cyclist on the sidewalk. It's really weird out here these days.

pick"An inadvertent wife fiercely guarding her husband's secret. A socially phobic wife with her marriage in turmoil. A mother dead set on finding her daughter's murderer. And now their lives converge !"
Even though the plot is witty, biting, clever and interspersed with events evoking some worthwhile introspection, I couldn't help the feeling that some of the chapters were dragged out. Nevertheless an engrossing read.

pickLoved this audiobook!
Cecilia finds a letter from her husband that is only to be opened if he has died... what could be so horrible he couldn‘t just tell her? Can Cecilia really know this letter exists and not open it?
Could you?
Loved the characters, the ending, and the way each plot had a bit of a finishing line. If you‘re a fan of Moriarty, this should definitely be on your TBR list!
Felt great to get my walk in before the heat index rises!
Already about 1/3 of the way through The Husband‘s Secret, and now that I understand who each main character is, I‘m really enjoying it!!
Can‘t wait for tomorrow‘s walk when I can get some more listening in!
pickFiguring out who was who and how they were related took me a few but overall a great book. Characters were well written and storyline kept me interested. I really enjoyed the ending where she explained what could have been.
