PROMPT: FALL IN THE TITLE
Allison by her own choice had no contact with her mother for two years, and then her mother found out that Allison had been killed in a plane crash.
Keeps you rapidly turning the pages, has good writing, great detail, and enough suspense that you won‘t want to put the book down.

Today‘s Prompt: SENSE OF FALLING
FREEFALL keeps you rapidly turning the pages, has good writing, great detail, and enough suspense that you won‘t want to put the book down.
Through bits and pieces everything slowly came together, the mystery unraveled, and the intensity of the situations increased.
If you enjoy suspense, secrets, and twists, FREEFALL fits the bill.
REVIEW: https://tinyurl.com/yyysq5nk
pickPreviously known as Freefall, which I actually prefer to the trope-tastic Look For Me, this was a pacey & engaging thriller, well plotted & written yet fun & undemanding enough to make it a perfect pool-side read. Took a while to hook me but when it did it just got better & better & I got more gripped & invested as it hurtled towards a nail-biting conclusion. Not hugely original but it entertained with inducing cynicism in this hard nosed reader.
pickExcellent. I really liked this one about a woman who survives a plane crash BUT she‘s hiding something. Told in alternating chapters from the perspective of the crash survivor and her estranged mother. It was fun and kept me engaged during this pandemic 😬 I‘ll be sure to check out her new book!
Well I keep buying kobo books and I just got a ridiculous Book Outlet order so I‘m reading! Nothing new in print, I‘ve had this around for some time but pretty good so far. And I was getting a bit stuck with Above All Things (George Mallory is a bit of a tool) so started Unfollow by Megan Phelps-Roper. Phew! I‘m reading less because of no commute, anyone else? Also, unnecessary cat photo. This is black cat #2 of 4, Whiskers

pickMaggie‘s daughter Alison is presumed dead when a small aircraft she was traveling in crashes. But Alison has survived and now she‘s desperate to reach her mom, a woman she hasn‘t spoken to in two years. Maggie determined to unravel the last few years of her daughter‘s life begins her own investigation into the plane crash. Parts implausible but it‘s easy to forgive as this book is a total page turner. Addictive and full of genuine twists❣️🙌🏻
#FridayMorningRead 🎧☕️Soooo good❣️I‘m getting bad vibes from Linda 😉I obviously read wayyyy too many thrillers as I look at every character as potentially evil 😈
Not even sure how this audio fell into my lap, but here it is and I‘m digging it❣️❣️❣️❣️
pickFreefall was a great debut crime novel with an interesting premise. The main character survives a plane crash and we learn all that led up to it through her and her mother, who doesn‘t know her daughter survived.
My Lovely Wife not so much. Not a single likable character, though the narrator seems to absolve himself of any responsibility for heinous crimes by the end. Almost threw it across the room.

“...and I will never, ever try to take up less space ever again.” ❤️
pickSatisfying, well written thriller. Plane crash, wilderness survival, bad guys, big pharma (more bad guys) enough said really.
I absolutely loved this book!
Allison gets into a plane crash and survives but as she makes her way through the Colorado mountains we realize that she hiding some secrets.
Had some yummy food at a place called Mighty Quinn. I‘m still reading Free Fall and it is so good! #freefall #jessicabarry #foodoflitsy
What was Allison involved in? Who wants her dead? #freefall #jessicabarry
I can imagine her pain. Yeah, this story is intense already. I like it. #freefall #jessicabarry
pickAllison and her mother have not spoken in a year. And now Allison has been in a plane crash, assumed dead. What follows is a tale told from both Allison and her mother's perspective as we learn about the strength of these two women - to survive, to believe, to love, to search for truth - and the lengths that they would go to for family. Tense, moving, and vividly brought to life.
#MarchReads: I read 11 books in March!
1 audiobook (The Outsider)
Except The Outsider and Sang Famille all books were written by women.
My favorite read: Verity, for sure. Although The Outsider was awesome as well.
pickThis is told from two voices, Ally and her mother each tell their story. I like this idea as it gives you both perspectives. This was a really interesting read with some very clever twists. The plot is steady and builds the suspense up well. The ending is really good and finishes the story off perfectly. Theres so much to this story that it kept me turning the pages especially towards the end.

so-soThis was a solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️ for me. I loved the alternative POVs between mother Maggie and daughter Allison and the dynamic there, but I felt like I figured out a huge portion super early...
pickFast paced, heart stopping, twists and turns. Everything you want from a good thriller, along with characters that grab ahold and don't let go.
A fine example of the genre.

pickThe tale is told from the two perspectives of Allison and Maggie, giving background to both their stories......bleak at times but utterly compelling.
This is a slow burn, with the tension gradually building and building right to the truly heart thumping end...
An exceptional debut novel from Jessica Barry and I will be waiting impatiently for her next endeavour.....
My reviews are also here....with pictures! https://orlando-books.blog
I have to admit that I was underwhelmed with the selection for the Barnes and Noble #bookhaul today, but I still spent $100 there so the joke is on me I guess.
The Stephen King was full price. I‘m collecting these gorgeous editions for my shelves. Underground Airlines was a bargain buy, but I heard Anne Bogel recommend it recently and I had to have it.
pickI read this thriller (written pseudonymously by romance writer Melissa Pimentel) in one sitting! Told in the alternating voices of mother and daughter, this is really a novel about how family ties can fray but never quite snap. Fast paced and enjoyable, with a satisfying ending. #TrickyCat #CatsofLitsy
Racing to get these two read before they‘re due at the library in a few days! 💪🏻🤓😇
My current reads :
1 #whodunitUK - The Escape
1 audiobook - The Angel of Darkness
2 #Pigeonhole - Freefall and Kayak the Kwanza
1 #MountTBR - Why I'm No Longer ....
Currently listening/reading Freefall.
Do any of you switch back and forth between listening and reading the same book? I do this pretty regularly. I‘m loving this book!
Thanks to Harper Books #partner for sending me a free review copy. #freefall #freefallbook #harperbooks #jessicabarry
How does Josh keep me from yelling at the TV during the state of the union? He takes me to the book store and a movie. I‘ll have to catch it in reruns or highlights when I get home.
pickI really enjoyed this! Never a dull moment. Keeps you guessing and turning the pages until the end.
pickPerfect vacation book, but perhaps not if you‘re in a small chartered plane flying over the Rockies!😉
pickSnow day for me today!! ❄️❄️ First order of business was finishing up this one! Allison survives a plane crash and has to run to keep her secrets hidden and stay safe. The premise of this book drew me and it didn‘t disappoint! I loved the writing style, the suspense, trying to figure out what would happen and how you slowly learn more background on the story until everything comes together. Check this one out!! Thanks again @Jenni_Capps ❤️
pickTrying to update my goodreads and of course Litsy from the week past while I‘m somewhat out of a trance..
Freefall was a fabulous debut! She keeps your interest with a steady, thrilling pace.
Taking a quick reading break to check Litsy and fill this out:
1. I have lots of in progress reads, but the tagged book is the one I‘m currently reading from the stack. I really love it so far!
2. Gryffindor all day, every day.
3. Making a Murderer

I am so excited to try these heart shaped jellybeans with the best starburst flavors!!! ❤️❤️ #24B4MondayGiveaway @Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid
Compelling characters, above-average plot. Couldn‘t put it down. Disclosure: I don‘t usually like thrillers, but I found this one acceptable.
Finally starting this one I got from @Jenni_Capps and I can‘t wait to dive in ❤️
Stopped into B&N and picked this up tonight!
😋 I love these emails. I need to finish my current library read first but I‘m excited for this book!
Starting this one at some point today. Unfortunately being off of work, I have errands I HAVE to run in the -12*F weather. 🥶
pickThank you @HarperBooks for the complimentary review copy! I have been disappointed by a lot of thrillers over the last couple of years, and haven‘t read one for a while. The buzz around this book was too interesting to ignore, and I‘m so glad I read it - a tantalizing fast paced plot with some heft. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Full review: http://www.bornandreadinchicago.com/2019/01/freefall-by-jessica-barry-arc-review...
Just started this book and loving it! ❤️
panI‘m clearly the only one so far to make a negative review about this one. I found it to be predictable and far fetched (not in a good way). The only positive I can say is that it was well written. The story just didn‘t do it for me. 🙁
pickPUB DATE: JANUARY 8
Allison by her own choice had no contact with her mother for two years, and then her mother found out that Allison had been killed in a plane crash.
If you enjoy suspense, secrets, and twists, FREEFALL fits the bill.
It takes a few pages to grab your interest, but be sure you don‘t have anything else to do because you won‘t be able to put this book down. 5/5
