1. I remember being so scared reading the tagged book above as a teenager. Now I stick with psychological thrillers that scare me more about people than truly scare me. 2. The Sixth Sense- yes I realize most people don‘t consider this a scary movie but I had nightmares for months after watching 3. Apple Cider and Football 4. Wasn‘t super hyped on Girl On The Train

rather_be_reading hi your match for the Hocus Pocus Swap has not got her box. Can you let me know whats going on. I have emailed you 6y

Enticing read about a family through the decades. Shows the influence of war and popular culture from 60s to mid 80s. Solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️

She smiled, the expression transforming her face with a sweetness that reminded Peter of everything American: sugary cereal, Crest toothpaste, fabric softener, milk.

Onto my next Labor Day weekend read. Not too sure about this one. Interesting concept, what happens after the tragedy.

Felt like it took me a long time to read this but it was a very interesting read. Lots of twists and turns . Great summer read. Very well drawn characters that by the end of the novel, I felt like I knew them all. No managed to make all characters sympathetic, even on opposite sides.

This quote is so true. Why most people become less idealistic as they grow up. Kind of makes me sad to think about.

Such a fun, quick read. It was like touring another country. Love the friendship between these ladies and the story was fast paced and interesting. Perfect cotton candy read. Loved reading this from my suburbs.

Paradox | Catherine Coulter
Pickpick

I don‘t typically read mystery books especially by authors like Catherine Coulter who produce such a high volume of books. However, this was on the Lucky 7 shelf at the library and I decided to give it a try. Parts of it were annoyingly predictable but there were a few twists I didn‘t quite see coming. Overall a good quick summer read.

I needed to plan better this vacation and get more reading done! These books are all due today and are on hold so I can‘t renew!! The only 2 I was able to read # were Woman in the Window and The High Season. Will have to put the rest on hold again. #librarystack. Am looking forward to getting some of these back!

This was a great cruise read. The characters were interesting and varied. It was great to read about the drama of a beach town on the beach.

Debating whether to bail on this or not. 16 chapters in. Does it get better?

Jeannineth I really liked it. I didn‘t see the twist at the end coming. 6y
bookandcat I read it via audiobook so I don't know where the chapter markings are - what page number (out of how many pages) are you on? Then I can tell you if you've gotten the gist and can make a judgment call. I liked it, there's some backstory revelations and some twists towards the end, but if you don't like the premise (aka Rear Window as a book) you may not like this. There are some parts that drag, I will admit. 6y
bookandcat @Bookiewookie1 hmm if you aren't sure I'd give it a little more time. If it still annoys you by like...page 125 or 150, I'd say bail. 6y
fictionaddictbooks I'm reading this right after Little Fires Everywhere. 6y

I had heard a lot of hype about this book. I Waldo like books with TN connections. This story had me enthralled from the very beginning and I found myself dreaming about Rill and her siblings. This story tugged on my heart strings and was a nice heartfelt summer read. There were some nice quotes about the power of sisterhood. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would!

“Outside the window, the night is alive with moon glow, the water glistening through the palms around the cottage‘s backyard. Confederate rose and jasmine stir in the sea breeze. It‘s a perfect combination. The kind only the Lowcountry can create. “ Passages like this make me want to be at the beach and not my home office.

I have learned that most people get along as best they can. They don‘t intend to hurt anyone. It is merely a terrible by product of surviving.

Jeannineth This was my first read of 2018. I still think about it. 😢 6y

So excited to read this. It‘s been a best seller for 44 weeks hopefully for a reason.

At first I wasn‘t sure about this book but loved the ending. Stayed up an hour longer than I wanted to last night because I just had to know what happened. Lots of plot twists. Enjoyed having one narrator. Liked the switching between past and present day. Well crafted and suspenseful. Fun summer read.

I normally don‘t read thrillers but this one intrigued me. Always love books about camp and books about female friendships started in youth. Pretty sure I have to read this only in daylight though. Here we go...

Jeannineth It is next on my tbr. Love to know what you think. 6y

Agree completely with the reviews that the first half is slow moving. Furies answers all the questions and makes the book for me. Not my favorite but an entertaining read.

“My life is beautiful.” Really not sure how I feel about this book yet. 145 pages in. Slow going at parts but makes me want to go to an artists retreat and just read all day. Is reading an art? Does art have to result in a product?

What I wanted most was to feel that moment when you‘re on a plane and everyone around you is in their own world, anxious to stand up and open the overhead bin and get ready to start the life they‘ve only ever dreamed of, or renter whatever life they left behind: that moment before the plane hits the ground, when the air starts to hum and it seems like if the impact doesn‘t kill you, the possibilities are almost too much to bear.

On to the next. I don‘t have a lot of expectations about this book, haven‘t seen or read much about it. Happened upon it accidentally and took it out on a whim. Here goes.

Could not put it down, had to know how life turned out for Leni. The Alaska imagery made me want to book a flight.
