The Book of Illusions: A Novel | Paul Auster

#Somebodyswatchingme #OctoberXFiles
I think this one is self-explanatory 👁️
@Robothugs @Cinfhen

mcipher This one was really good. I have to find more of his books to try. 6y

Billypar @mcipher This might be my favorite Auster (I actually don't like the cover much). I also really liked Leviathan, Mr. Vertigo, and NY Trilogy, among others. 6y

BarbaraBB I‘m an Auster fan too. My favorites, beside this one, are NY Trilogy and

The Music of Chance

Cinfhen I only have tried and bailed

4321

Billypar @BarbaraBB Yes- I really liked The Music of Chance too. He's got a lot of good ones. 6y

Billypar @Cinfhen I haven't tackled 4321 yet, so I can't draw a comparison to others. But the length is not typical for him, so you wouldn't have to suffer through another chunkster if you tried him again. 6y

I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer | Michelle McNamara

#SomebodysWatchingMe #OctoberXFiles That is one of the most disturbing things about the Golden State Killer.Witnesses & survivors figured out he was stalking,watching the houses, when people would come & go , figure out the layout of the home, he wanted no surprises.Some evidence suggests he broke in when a home was empty to leave an out of the way window unlocked for easy access later.

Cinfhen, Robothugs

Robothugs This is a good pick. 😱 Have you seen the HLN series on it? 6y

Leftcoastzen @Robothugs I have not seen it . Good? 6y

Robothugs Very interesting! You get basically the same info. You also get to hear his voice, which was so creepy to me especially after having read this. It‘s called Unmasking A Killer 6y

Cinfhen It‘s my upcoming read for IRL bookclub ~ I‘m gonna try to watch the series too @Robothugs 6y

Robothugs @Cinfhen Remember if you can‘t I‘ll record so you can hear it! 6y

Wait Till Helen Comes: A Ghost Story | Mary Downing Hahn

I ate this shit up as a kid! I am so glad that my reread upheld my love for this book.

The thing that stood out as an adult—wtf is wrong with the parents. They are total assholes. I couldn‘t stand Heather either, but by the end my feelings for her evolved as Molly‘s did. But the parents, no. They suck.

Mdargusch I hated that stepfather- what a jerk. 6y

Someone Is Watching: A Novel | Joy Fielding

Day 19 - #somebodyswatchingme #octoberxfiles

A pulse-pounding thriller perfect for fans of Lisa Gardner and Mary Higgins Clark with a sly nod toward Alfred Hitchcock‘s classic film Rear Window, Someone Is Watching boasts the extraordinary edge-of-your-seat storytelling of bestselling author Joy Fielding at the height of her powers.

Cinfhen, Robothugs

Cinfhen Hmmmmm, I might need to try this 😊 6y

EadieB @Cinfhen I‘m going to read it too! 6y

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban | J.K. Rowling

First thought was Dobby (a house elf), but Padfoot works better. #SomebodysWatchingMe #OctoberXFiles @Cinfhen @Robothugs .

Cinfhen Checkout @julesG post 6y

julesG @Cinfhen I always look for Jennifer's posts. It's a great idea to do all of the prompts using Harry Potter. 6y

Watchers | Dean R. Koontz

#somebodyswatchingme #octoberxfiles
Continuing the 80s theme.....loved this book and author. But stopped reading him not long after this one as they became a bit ‘samey‘. Any comments on his more recent stuff - worth a read?

Cinfhen, Robothugs

Cinfhen He was REALLY a 70s /80s master!! It‘s amazing he‘s still knocking out books 6y

Caroline2 Yes!! I used to read his books too (many moons ago!) and I stopped reading cause they felt samey! I wonder if his new books are any good? 🤔 I used to love him!!! 6y

amywithbooks His new Jane Hawk series is good! More thriller than horror, though. 6y

TrishB @avgeyer thanks 👍🏻 6y

TrishB @Caroline2 me too 👍🏻 6y

TrishB @Cinfhen I know - he does a lot for literary programmes too, which is good. 6y

Lisaw13 His Odd Thomas series is really good

Odd Thomas: An Odd Thomas Novel

TrishB @Lisaw13 thanks - I‘ve looked at that a couple of times! 6y

LeahBergen I read this in the 80s, too (and also stopped reading him shortly thereafter)! 6y

LonelyReader I recently bought this book from Amazon after reading 'The Door To December' which I mostly enjoyed except for a somewhat tepid and unconvincing ending. I am yet to read it so can't really say if Dean Koontz books are repetitive or not. I hope I enjoy it more than I did TDTD. 6y

TrishB @LonelyReader this one is definitely worth a read! 6y

LonelyReader @TrishB Thanks! Would pick that up next! 6y
