Another ‘introduced me to‘ book. This one introduced me to Lisa Gardner and she‘s been a must read author for me ever since.

Born.A.Reader This is the first Lisa Gardner book I read too! And it's my favorite! 2y

I read Alone a while back and enjoyed it a lot but this early effort is fairly poor, sadly. The psychotic killer cop was hardly a new trope even then and why a woman on the run would turn to another brutal macho thug for protection is never satisfactorily explained.

Ya'll know I love me some Lisa Gardner, but for some reason I just cannot stay engaged with this one! The premise sounds great, a woman who helped convict her serial killer husband is now on the run and looking for training on how to protect herself after he escapes (presumably to get his revenge). The pacing just feels all over the place. And one of the main characters, JT, definitely gets on my nerves. Gonna throw in the towel for now 🤷🏽‍♀️

I had to take a break from #24in48 to at least get some of my books off the floor and on their new shelves! Not sorted ( which is bugging the perfectionist in me!) but gotta get that stopwatch off pause !! I also need to cook my ❤️husband some dinner as shelf payment! #bookishlife

Just dropped my daughter off early for volleyball practice and with the house so quiet thought I‘d get in some undisturbed reading time. I have the third book in the series and plan to read it for #mounttbr but before I can do that I had to get book 1 and 2 from the library to catch up. I just can‘t read a series out of order. #climbingmountvancouver

My talented husband has been diligently working on building a new bookshelf for our living room. I cannot wait to start filling this with books! He still has some work to do, including staining, but it looks amazing so far and much larger in person than the picture conveys. 🎉😍📚

So does anyone have advice on styling bookshelves?

MeganAnn @Heideschrampf 😂😂 He has two actually, but alas they are both married and not nearly as handy at woodworking as he is. 7y

#aprilamazingreads Starting late so catching up. Day 1 #surprising The Perfect Husband started my love affair with Lisa Gardner and that husband was far from perfect! Behind Her Eyes twisted once more than I thought it would.

#marchintoreading with #happyreads. These are my go-to books when I'm in a slump or need a quick pick me up. (Yes, even Twilight -don't judge, I'm a sucker for happily-ever-after lol) 😀😀📚❤ Most of these have rereads in the double digits.

BeckyD I have a few I've read at least a dozen times. I'm glad Goodreads has the reread feature now. I can read the same book more than once in a year without it hurting my challenge. 8y
mrsamandahood @Born.A.Reader The Twilight series will always be so special to me because they helped me get through a really tough time! 💜 8y

Born.A.Reader @TrishB I love it! It's been a favorite of mine since high school! 8y
Born.A.Reader @mrsamandahood I know there's a lot of guff about glittering vampires and such, but I read it as a really strong love story (with a happy ending, of course) and I kind of relate to Bella in a few ways, so the whole series is special to me. I usually reread BD the most, simply bc I love the wedding, Renesmee, and the more grown up aspect of that book. 😊 8y
mrsamandahood @Born.A.Reader I'm right there with you, BD has always been my favorite too! I love when they get married! I love when they have Renesmee too but the whole pregnancy and the birth especially kind of freaks me out a little. 8y
