A little Icelandic crime fiction for #nordicnoirnovember! This one had a bit of a slow start but it‘s starting to pick up!

#winterreading #nordicnoir #crimefiction #icelandiccrimefiction

Loooved this book! It‘s such a compelling story with fantastically developed characters. Yes, this is a thriller, but I feel like it went much deeper than the average suspense novel. Highly recommended! I received a free copy from the publisher.

I‘m still elated at having met Ruth Ware last week, and slowly savoring The It Girl. So much of what she talked about is showing up in this book, and it‘s just such an amazing reading experience! Author events are my favorite!! Have you been to one?

Alternating POVs and timelines make this one a wild ride of a thriller. It‘s full of drama yet maintains a semblance of reality: nothing eye-rolling. You never who just who your friends really are! Not very deep, but very entertaining!

This simmering mystery packed a powerful punch! Lots of information and anecdotes about life as an American Indian and reservation life are wove into this novel, while building up an amazing lead character!
If you like crime fiction, and have been wanting to diversify you‘re reading, try this one!

A fast paced and exciting crime fiction novel with a smart and strong female lead. I lived that Eskens gave Lila the spotlight in this one! Part legal drama, part hunt for a killer, this was riveting!
I love that his books aren‘t a series….but they overlap each other! I highly recommend all of his books!

Currently reading Reprieve and loving it! @WilliamMorrowBooks [partner] It might just make the perfect spooky season read! I just started it last night but I‘m sucked in so far!

Rock Paper Scissors is such a popular thriller right now, but for me it was just…meh. First of all, I guessed the big twist from about page 15. And it wasn‘t really that good of a twist. Building up a plot for an entire novel, just to say “whoops let‘s switch that” right at the end feels like a cheap shot. All of these basic thrillers follow the same pattern and this one was no different. #rockpaperscissors #popcornthriller

A good quick, fun ghost story perfect for spooky season! This YA was more on the mature side, but had a nice balance of ghost story and coming of age for the lead character. The short length was nice, but also took away from more depth overall, but I still enjoyed it!

An isolated cabin in the woods made for a perfectly atmospheric setting. The characters were great, and little bits of backstory sprinkled in added a lot of depth. I loved that the backstory didn't take up whole chunks of the book, there was just enough to help you understand the character without the plot getting lost. Loved it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks to Minotaur for sending me a free copy! All opinions are my own.

Another great installment in the Shetland series. No other books transport me somewhere else like these do. Cleeves does an amazing job describing both the atmospheric setting and island life so that as the reader, you feel like you are right there! If you like the Three Pines series, then I recommend this one to you as well!

Currently reading Billy Summers, at about 35% and very much enjoying it, but I‘m not surprised! Will you be reading this one? What‘s your favorite King book?

My current audiobook is the newest Liane Moriarty, so far I am really liking it! It‘s very character driven but I am looking forward to seeing where it goes!
Thanks to Libro.fm for the free copy! Out in September!

Currently reading The People We Keep. Not a thriller or crime fiction, but we all need to venture outside of our comfort zones once in a while, right?

Atria [partner] Happy pub day to The Other Passenger! This is a character driven thriller that has quite a few good twists up it‘s sleeves! It did get a little slow at times, but the last third of the book was very fun indeed! A slow burn, but still a good read!

I‘m currently reading and enjoying Watch Her Fall, a ballet themed thriller! And aren‘t these sprayed edges insane!?

Sager is a good writer, he is…but this one was too cheesy and unbelievable for me. It took the unreliable narrator to new ridiculous levels. So many things wrong with the setup and plot for me.

Cold, dark, stormy and atmospheric The Girl Who Died is a quiet little ghost story with an unusual mystery mixed in. Strong characters and set in a town with ten residents, read this on a rainy day!

I enjoyed The Therapist just as much as Paris‘ other books for many reasons. Instead of diving right into the drama, this novel starts out by simply introducing the characters and their place in life, allowing the reader to get to know them at almost a personal level.

The simmering progression of the plot made things occur in a way that felt natural, rather than forced or ridiculous. This is a fun thriller!!

I‘m hosting a read-a-thon this weekend…check out my Instagram lindsays_books for more information. These are the two books I am going to attempt to read this weekend, along with finishing up some others. My goal is to read 20 hours in 4 days, do you think I can do it?

Currently reading Dead Water from the Shetland series! I have loved every book so far!!

~Nostalgic 90‘s slasher-esque!~ I think that‘s when people say: “Enough said!” This was a fun one, and not too over the top with the gore, but you might still squirm here and there!

I‘m not much of a collector but I am in love with the beautiful editions of these Daphne Du Maurier books I recently bought. Do you collect special editions?
