One Night Gone (Original) | 
Author Tara Laskowski was the moderator of the Ashley Winstead and Julia Bartz panel yesterday at Gaithersburg Book Festival! I have two of her books but haven‘t read them yet. So exciting to see these authors in person! This is them prepping for the panel. Local author Angie Kim was the introducer for them.
1. Really enjoyed this one!
2. Psychological thriller for sure!
3. Would you believe I‘ve never read any of Stephen King‘s novels?! 😬

pickI really enjoyed this suspenseful novel, a debut from author Tara Laskowski. It was compelling, and I loved the twists and turns, culminating in a surprise ending. I highly recommend this one!

This one was an impulse pick up at the library this week; the cover endorsement by Tana French was enough to hook me! I hope it‘s good!

I didn't understand what motivated Allison to look into the disappearance of the missing girl in the first place...was it a ghostly presence or was it more like subliminal messages? Otherwise a mostly decent mystery with a message some woman may need to hear...don't let a man make you feel like you're disposable.

pickONE NIGHT GONE 📚 The reader is allowed a glimpse into Maureen's life during the summer before her disappearance, as well as Allison's attempts to pick up the pieces of her life. Then things get increasingly unsettling. What I really like about Tara Laskowski's writing is that she could make the most mundane things seem like a creepy foreshadowing of danger to come.
My current read ONE NIGHT GONE by Tara Laskowski, with some photo edits because I got too excited about the new photo editing app I downloaded.
Pretty excited about this one and can't wait to start it soon.
1. Suspenseful. 2. Yes! The fabulous Murder By the Book in Houston & Austin‘s funky & community-spirited Book People both ship nationwide. I ordered a couple of mysteries for myself & sent 2 books to friends in Lockdown. Gotta keep our indie bookshops alive! Thanks for the game, @TheSpineView

Lovely language and rising tension. You can tell that the author writes flash fiction, in which every word matters so much! #vivid #characterization #strongverbs
Believe it or not, we're more than two-thirds of the way through #read99women! Today's rec comes from E.A. Aymar, who calls the tagged novel "a taut, character-driven read, the kind of book that begs to be read slowly." More on the blog: http://www.greermacallister.com/blog/2020/3/29/read99women-ea-aymar
“I‘m Mama.” Don‘t have much time to read, but boy is my reading buddy sweet! #readermama #writermama #blessed
so-soI was excited about this book because three of my favorite authors blurbed it as being basically fantastic. But, it was a bit of a turkey for me. I think the setting, a beach town in fall/winter, could have been used more effectively. I also didn‘t feel that invested in the 1980s MC, which I think is because she was written in third person POV, instead of first person like the current-day MC. It wasn‘t great. It wasn‘t terrible. Just meh.

panMost everyone else is giving this good to really good reviews. I'm clearly in the minority so I hope this doesn't discourage everyone. I don't think this was poorly written, just the story was kind of TV movie for me. It didn't really add anything to the genre, nor detract. It was just kind of there.

"When Dolores's team- the Manchester County Vixens - was announced, the cheers were deafening, echoing off the gymnasium walls. Derby names were a big thing - all the women had them stenciled on the back of their jerseys. Dolores was called Spine Cracker. "She has her master's in library science. Get it?" Tammy said. "
