They All Fall Down | 
panAdvertised as modern retelling of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. Pan. I finished this book but I detested all of the characters and had a hard time finishing the book as I didn't want to spend more time with those nasty (fictional) people. The original is better.
so-soI finished one book for #awesomeaugust readathon
This was just so so the setting a island off the Mexican main land, six strangers where deceived on why they were invited to the island to find out their lawyer set it all up Miriam the main character is the narrator who after awhile gets irritating, it‘s kind of sad murder mystery with all their true colors being shown and the lawyers motivation on bringing them to the island
pickA modern twist on And Then They Were None but with a grittiness I didn't expect. I found the beginning a bit confusing but quickly settled in and needed to know how everything came together. Howzell Hall doesn't give you room to draw a breath between twists & reveals!
More visible progress in my quest to #readmyowndamnbooks! March didn‘t see much progress since I had a tonne of library holds come in but there is some progress! Not much will come in this month for me so I expect to get through a few more in April. I‘m really behind in my goal to clear 4 books a month from my TBR but maybe April will catch me up a bit.

pickOverall I liked this book and would recommend it,but I do have some mixed feelings about parts of it. There are some wonky plot points and the main character has some unnecessary, sometimes awkward thought tangents. The story definitely hooked me enough to get past those issues and it was a different twist that I was happy to see.
I had some visible progress in my quest to #readmyowndamnbooks in February! I‘ve had so many holds come in at the library that progress has been slow but I‘ll take it! I‘m starting my #MarchTBR with about 30 of the 40 books I gathered up at the beginning of Jan and I have great faith I can get through a good handful this month!
Someone got to go on a 6 mile walk today and insisted we stop to sniff every tree. Now I get to decide what we're doing for the rest of the night. Book, blanket, tea.
New sweatpants, new book, I know what I'm doing tonight.
Here‘s my #bookspin and #doublespin for the month! Excited for both of these and I have a pretty good chance of getting these both done by the end of the month. @TheAromaofBooks
October reading plans... Embracing spooky season. I also have some spooky reads on my kindle. Better get busy. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
pickIt wasn't the best written book, but I enjoyed the plot and the author either hit her groove or I got used to the slightly bumpy prose by the time I was halfway in.
pickHoly crap! I really enjoyed this book. Read it in a day and was hooked. I needed to know what happened. Miriam is a little annoying and is an unreliable narrator and a little delusional. This doesn‘t have the best ratings on here, but it‘s a good mystery. Basically everyone in the book is awful. Though the ending was a little anticlimactic, but I had to keep reading to see what happened.
Taking a break in reading to tell you all how hooked I am on this book right now!
Yes, Miriam is a little annoying and definitely a little crazy, I just need to know what happens!!
I picked this up today and am already 150 pages in!
Definite Agatha Christie- And Then There Were None vibes 💚💚
Hubby got this book for me for Christmas and it just came in!
I‘m so excited to read this book. It‘s supposed to be a retelling of And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 We‘ll see!

Here are the 12 books I would pick for my book club. I‘ve never actually been in a book club. Meeting with a bunch of people I don‘t know, even if it is to talk about books STRESSES me out!
I tried to pick books from all genres. Though as I‘m posting, I realize I forgot NF. 🤷🏻♀️ I pulled all these off my TBR.

so-soNot my favorite read of the year, but entertaining enough to finish. Seven strangers, one gnarly secluded island...and wicked, deadly secrets. Apparently a reimagining of Agatha Christie‘s And The. there Were None.
panI was really excited about this retelling of And Then There Were None, but it just didn‘t work for me. I can‘t remember disliking the characters so much right away in ATTWN, but I almost instantly disliked all of the characters in this one, especially Miriam.* She wore on my nerves. I nearly bailed, but pushed through it. #Booked2019 #newin2019 #readingwomen #mysteryorthrillerwrittenbyawoc
Read in June.
so-soI liked the concept of the book and the writing. I found it fun to read, but it left me with so many unanswered questions and I‘m just not sure how I feel about the ending at all.

pickSeven strangers are invited to an island for the weekend. Little do they know the secrets they keep will cost them dearly. Written in homage to Christie‘s classic And Then There Were None, Hall‘s work doesn‘t shine like the original, but it has a few spooky parts. Add an unreliable narrator, and you get a twisty story that makes you wonder who‘s telling the truth. Worth a read.
I made #SebastianKitty model for the picture. #catsoflitsy
Calling all Agatha Christie fans, this is now out in the world. Also, if you‘re just a fan of a bunch of strangers and they‘re gonna start dying one by one 🔪
A comparison to And Then There Were None, my favorite by Agatha Christie? Yes, please! Though, it will have to be stellar in my eyes to compare.
