Welcome to Litsy!

I couldn't finish it I was sooo bored. Ugh!

Here‘s my review for a book I just finished listening to.

Here‘s my listening progress for a book I‘m currently listening to. I‘m almost finished. I have 2 hrs left in this book and it has finally picked up the pace and started to get interesting. I have to review the second book for Bookish First and I‘m not sure if I‘m going to like it either because I‘ve had a hard time getting through this one. If I don‘t like the second book after reading the first 100 pgs, I will DNF it.

Here‘s my listening progress for this audiobook that I‘m listening to. This book is getting interesting but I decided to speed up the narration from 1x to 1.2x because I‘ve been feeling like this book is slow and boring. Maybe speeding up the narration will help. Maybe this is why I‘ve been struggling to get through this book. I don‘t know why I didn‘t think of speeding up the narration before.

Here‘s my listening progress for this book I‘m currently listening to. I‘m listening to this book because I have to review the second book for Bookish First. I haven‘t listened to this book in a few days and I‘m having a hard time getting through it. I‘m kind of interested in the story but not really. I still feel like this story is moving slow. I have 10 hrs left in the audiobook but I will finish this book.

Last night, I decided to start listening to this book on Scribd because I have to review the second book The Whispering Room for #bookishfirst. I‘ve just listened to the first 15 chapters but I‘m not feeling invested in this story. I‘m starting to feel bored with this book. Hopefully, it gets better. I‘m not sure if I‘m going to like this book or not but at least the chapters are short. This is also my first book by this author.

Jane Hawk is investigating her husband's suicide. She begins to research. She gets threatened so she sells the house, takes leave from the FBI, and begins hunting. Good story. Reminds me a bit of the Chris Snow series (which Koontz has yet to finish). Grrrr.

Airplane reading.

Someone is watching me! #readathon #20in4

Starting at the beginning! #currentlyreading

Excited to have finally read the first book in this series. Jane Hawk is a strong woman who is determined to find out why her husband‘s death was determined a suicide. (She‘s not buying it.) And why the overall suicide rate is dramatically increasing. Suspenseful with interesting characters and an action packed ending. Interested to see where the next book takes Jane. #MountTBR

⭐⭐⭐.75/5

Koontz's The Silent Corner perhaps because of the title and main character suggests Nancy Drew on steroids, which in this case isn't a bad thing. Jane Hawk is a kickass heroine who has you rooting for her and the villains are all satisfyingly heinous. The atmosphere is delightfully paranoid and the action fast paced and because it's Koontz...dogs. Will I read the second in this series? Of course. Am I invested? That's a wait and see.

Slow to start, significantly better as it goes on.

Chloe rates this thriller “excellent”!! I had this downloaded for years but some of Koontz‘s other stuff turned me off. This one is really super good though! Hopefully the rest of the books in the series will keep up.

This novel with its unique story line is hard to describe. Evil powers in the world are altering minds and a heroine is needed.

My reading spot view for the next little while 🤓📚#24in48

Well ... morning walk done and cleaning the apartment can wait while I get back to #24in48 🤓

Ok ... all set for #24in48 ... 🤓📚@24in48

Made it to Chapter 32, Part two....six parts total. Maybe audio would be better for this one. Seems to be going nowhere. Numbing my brain. Past time to move on....

Took a day trip to Vancouver today. The weather was spectacular! Tagged book was my ferry read.

“Two months earlier, when all this started, she learned that not all cops were on the side of the righteous, that in this dangerous time when shadows cast shadows of their own, when darkness often passed for light, the just and the unjust wore the same face.”~

This was a struggle to get through. While I‘ve enjoyed Koontz‘s books before, this just didn‘t do it for me. I think he could‘ve cut out about 100 pages and it would‘ve made it more bearable. I didn‘t find it consuming or thrilling, unfortunately. I dove into it with high hopes.

Dean Koontz is back

Well I‘m glad I kept with it. Definitely worth it. Now I can move on to the next one after I read the arc from net galley

I‘m about a little more then 50% threw it and I want to give up but I have the second one I have to read and review for bookishfirst please tell me this one gets better..

My library ebook came in today so since I‘m having some joint swelling and issues with my hands it‘s hard hold a book. This is one if the reasons I got my paperehite it‘s smaller and lighter then my tablet and kindle fire.

Hitting some fun anxiety parts... I love books that take off and go. So far so good... we will see.

I was hoping for a thrilling thriller, what I got from the first part (80 pages) was a boring bore. On to the next!!

The story kept me interested and the premise is fairly unique. But the writing is a little basic and I could use more development of the main character. Hopefully in book 2. #aroundtheyearin52books

My favorite author. My favorite (and very old) mug holding my favorite drink. Plus one of my favorite reading partners.. it‘s a good day ❤️

Started this one earlier in the week, finally have time to really dive in. Hopefully I can stay awake! #petsoflitsy keeping me company (s‘mores, like always, is on my shoulder!)

I enjoyed this one. I haven‘t liked many of Koontz‘s recent works.
I used to be a rabid fan that couldn‘t wait until the next book was released. I ❤️ ❤️❤️ his early work. This one has some of that intensity, pace, and sci fi feel. It reminded me of Sole Survivor and Midnight. I am looking forward to reading the next one.

I gave blood yesterday after work. There were quite a few of us donating with books in our hands. I guess we will do anything to have time to read. 🤣
All kidding aside, if you can, take the time to give blood. It doesn‘t really hurt and you could be saving someone‘s life.
My brother in law that just went through cancer surgery last month was back in the hospital right before Christmas and had to have a blood transfusion. 👇🏻

Finally got out of 🛏. Now it‘s time for some Koontz, banana muffin and a VERY foamy mochacino.
Or maybe I‘ll wAtch the last two episodes of Slasher first...🤔

Having a bit of book envy at my grandmas house!

I got an air fryer for Christmas so I HAD to get a couple cookbooks right?😁

Cannot say I loved either this book or character. To me, Jane Hawke is just not interesting enough to sustain a series — neither is the conspiracy this book is built around. A stand-alone novel, sure; it‘s fine for that, but, unlike Koontz‘s own Odd Thomas series, I just can‘t envision reading more than one book about this character.

So this got off to a bit of a slow start for me, and it was unclear where the story was headed after some odd turns... but I‘m glad I stuck with it. The action really picked up in the second half and clearly will into the next book, which was just released. Jane is a badass female lead. Looking forward to seeing what happens next! 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Am I the only one that has different reads depending on where you are? This is what I‘m currently reading at work and at home I‘m reading Within These Walls. #whatyareading #multireads

The is the first Koontz I‘ve read in a decade. I‘m only 35 pages in, but it‘s gripped me so far. Hopefully I can finish before it‘s due back at the library!!

I love Koontz but this book just didn't catch my attention😴. Too many books to read to waste my time reading without pleasure.

Bruce, my favorite reading buddy/foot warmer 😍

Dean Koontz has always been one of my go-to authors. While reading this first book in his new series, I remembered how much I like his writing style. The Silent Corner is about an FBI agent, Jane Hawk, who is on personal leave to investigate a rash of highly suspicious suicides. I haven‘t clicked with a Koontz protagonist like this since Odd Thomas. Very entertaining, indeed. A real page-turner. Can‘t wait to read the next in the series.

Since I already have the second book in the series, I thought it was time for me to read the first one.

And moving directly onto this one lol-needed something completely different from Fall of Giants to avoid a book slump 😬

Not my usual type of read, but really really liked this. The second book should be arriving on my doorstep tomorrow.
