I do love when publishers make a great effort like this for books. Every chapter, section, quotes like this have received nice attention. It makes for an enjoyable reading experience for sure.

9th book read November 2024

Roy is in route to his fields thinking about his daughter wedding when he saw half of dozen vultures…he approached expecting to see a dead animal but what he discovered was a…body. Who is the person found? Nothing has happened in Fairhill, Vermont before but this body will not be the only discovery..other persons in this small town have secrets and dark personalities😳

Gissy (Cont.) In this story there are various situations occurring at the same time and it is narrating from more than one point of view. There is a pinch of supernatural element. I was guessing who did it all the time. Even though that person was in my list of suspects, I confess was not the only one I suspected. So this novel is a page turner. But the motive of why it was done, I‘m not so sure if it was a solid one⬇️ 17h
Gissy Maybe if I think that person is narcissistic or psychopath 🤷🏽‍♀️But I enjoyed it. 3.8⭐️

This was a Once Upon A Book October special box not part of the subscription. I think the gifts were practical. There is an interview with the author. 3.7/3.8⭐️

I started this one on Christmas Day because I was close to finishing the Fredrik Backman and I was feeling the tears were going to start pouring, so I quickly reached for this one so I wouldn‘t be breaking down in front of my family. 😚 So far it‘s been good.

Whew… March was a tough one to narrow down for my #12BooksOf2024 (as you can see, it was a month with over 10 five star reads!), but I am going with this re-imagining of Strangers On A Train! I loved it and have thought of it often since finishing it!

Thanks to @Andrew65 for organizing!!

Andrew65 It always tricky to choose one when a number of 5 star reads. 3d
TorieStorieS @Andrew65 Indeed!! March is a big publishing month, so this may be the toughest month of the year, but I guess we will see!🤔 3d

This was definitely a really great page turner from the very beginning. I loved this story and the more I read, the more things came out and got more crazy. I thought this was definitely a great, quick paced thriller. Would definitely recommend.

Book 8 read this month. Short novella (96 pages). Two time lines: past, Ashley Smith, an American student, her experiences when was invited by a college “friend” Emma Chapman‘s, to spend Christmas at her house. There Ashley will fall in love and will know about a crime recently committed in the area. Present time, Ashley diary is read by someone. How these 2 time lines are connected?
I really liked the twists that occurred here. ⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) That ending remind me at some point The Kind Worth Killing but the conclusion is for those who liked Behind Her Eyes which I didn‘t like much. So I have mixed feelings with this story but I liked the way it was developed. 3/3.5⭐️ 5d

I really enjoyed this book so I‘m a little confused by the lower Goodreads rating for it. This is for mystery thriller book club at the beginning of January; it should make for an interesting discussion. Some of the revelations were predictable but some weren‘t and it was an easier read. Definitely an interesting premise! If you read the book synopsis & thought it sounded good, I‘d recommend you read it. You‘ll probably like it!
