A bunch of stuff I‘ve thought but have been too afraid to say. Luckily Meghan Dunn brilliantly says it for me.

So ready to dive into this tonight! #botm #nycreader
This book is the perfect thriller. Like a roller coaster ride that only goes downhill. Brace yourself! #botm
This lesser known Highsmith is amazing! Full of slow building dramatic tension and the requisite sympathetic bad guy. #nightreads #saturdaynightbooks #oldschool
A book so good I had to get both Kindle and audio versions. Unfortunately for future generations, I think it could be an accurate predictor of events to come. #worldbuilding #epic #dystopia
Getting my Twilight Zone fix will the some new Rod Serling short stories. Many of the not adapted for the show. #twilightzone #rodserling #obsession
Hmmm...this is quite literally a history book. Very little dialogue. Am I wrong in expecting something a bit more like a novel 🤔
@Liberty Thanks for recommending this excellent Poirot on #ReadorDead! It‘s perfect for a dark November night.
So excited! Tomorrow‘s the day! #fireandblood #GoT #imdyingtoreadthis #notWoWbutStill
This is one of the best thrillers I‘ve read in a long time. It‘s reminiscent of Stieg Larsson and early John Grisham. Very page turner-y! Despite the title it not a typical domestic thriller. Pick it up and you‘ll likely be hooked from the first page.
Wow, this book couldn‘t have been more in my wheelhouse: 19th century, slums of London, literary, suspense. It reminded me of other favorites: Michel Faber‘s Crimson Petal and the White, Emma Donogue‘s Slammerkin, or anything Sarah Waters. Thanks @SavidgeReads for turning me on to this gem.
If you‘re in the mood for a domestic thriller, you could definitely do worse than this one. There are some clever twists and turns and the story is original. However, the book is a little longer than it needs to be. It‘s weighed down by unnecessary exposition. And I personally didn‘t connect with the characters as I would have liked. There was a little something missing in the writing...that “it” factor that makes you 💙 a book.
If you like books about the tech industry, or about millennials in NYC, this is definitely an entertaining read!
I think this is my new all time fav gothic horror novel! I'll definitely be reading more John Boyne!
I highly recommend this collection for the Dorothy B Hughes novel In a Lonely Place. It's far ahead of its time in my opinion, and I've since read a couple of her other works. If you want to journey deep in to the psyche of a disturbed individual, read immediately.
