The Wife Between Us | Sarah Pekkanen, Greer Hendricks

I loved this book!!!! One of the better thrillers I‘ve read in the past few months. I loved the plot, loved the twists, and loved the sinister undercurrent throughout the whole book. Kept me guessing until the very end. Very gone girl-esque

Started this one this weekend and hoping to finish it today. I don‘t think I‘m a huge fan, I don‘t find the story so interesting and I think the characters are very underdeveloped. Have any of you read it? What did you think?

The Lying Game | Ruth Ware
Mehso-so

I didn‘t love it and I didn‘t hate it, I just don‘t think I liked the actual story that much. I was able to predict the ending by the time I got halfway into the book. Idk, it just wasn‘t as dark/thrilling as her other 2 and I was a bit disappointed because I was really excited for it

Excited to crack into this one since I‘ve been such a fan of Ruth Ware‘s other works (also I am trying to catch up on my #botm reads since I‘m constantly getting 3 every month and letting them accumulate in my tbr lol)

Hooked_on_books I‘ve really liked her other books, too. I look forward to seeing what you think of this one! 7y

After having such an easy time shopping for the person I‘m sending my #secretsantagoespostal to yesterday, I felt inspired to FINALLY organize my goodreads lists. If my secret santa is still stalking and cursing me under their breath for not having any clues on books I‘d like: I‘m late to the game but here it is! Lol

Ahhhhh I‘m so excited!!! 3 thrillers/mysteries in 1 month 🤩 which books did you pick up/are you excited about? #botm

Reviewsbylola I got these three plus Eleanor. 7y
The_Heeler_Booklife I got The City of Brass, The English Wife, and The Wife Between Us. 7y
poppedamalia @Reviewsbylola I was really interested in Eleanor too!!!! I think I might just go looking for it when I go to the bookstore this weekend because it sounded so good but so did these 3. I really enjoyed their choices this month (edited) 7y
poppedamalia @allthingskayla the city of brass sounds so good too!! I wish I was more into fantasy/sci fi because it always sounds interesting but I still find myself drawn to mysteries and thrillers lol 7y
The_Heeler_Booklife @poppedamalia understandable. I really love fantasy and tend to not really pick up thrillers/mysteries/suspense books, but decided on the other two to try something different and get me out of my comfort zone. 😊 7y

Cracking this book open today. We‘ll see how it goes. I just finished Night Film by Marisha Pessl and I‘m finding that I miss that book and the characters and I already want to reread it. It took a long time to get through that one but I loved it greatly. I‘m giving this book pretty big shoes to fill lol

Clwojick Ooh! Let me know how you like it! I just got this in my #halloweengoespostal package. ☺️ 7y
Reecaspieces Night film is super. This one ain‘t half bad either 7y

The plot and the writing in this book are already great so the use of mixed media is just something extra. Really digging this read so far

Another Monday in the office 🙄🤯 I can‘t complain too much though because I‘m fortunate to have a job where I get to sit and read and sip coffee for most of the day. Hope everyone else is having a good Monday!!

I‘ve seen everyone else posting their #botm November picks this morning so here are mine!!! I‘m very excited for all of these selections, I didn‘t think Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance sounded like my type last month but I saw so many people raving about it this past month I just had to pick it up. I‘m extremely excited for Uncommon Type and Bonfire as well!!

stuck.in.the.stacks Just finished Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance. So good! 7y
Reviewsbylola I‘m very excited for Bonfire. 7y

I am such of fan of Ruth Ware. Her novels are such a perfect thriller to me, definitely one of my favorite authors in the genre. I read this novel in about 48 hours because I was ENGROSSED in the action.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I‘m glad to see your review!! I‘ve seen several negative ones!!! 7y
poppedamalia @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I know!! I was going through the reviews on goodreads and I was a little disappointed. I thought that as a thriller it had everything I look for. I feel like a lot of the time people just don‘t like the person the narrator is and that ruins the book for them, and while I didn‘t necessarily like the narrator, I still really enjoyed the book 7y

The Secret History | Donna Tartt
Pickpick

This was the most beautiful, well written novel I have read in as long as I can remember. The development of the characters, the fact that I knew them thoroughly and understood each of their personal motives throughout the novel, made it all feel so close to me. It was chilling, definitely, and I‘ll just tell you it doesn‘t end how you expect. Not that there are crazy plot twists. The plot just develops in such an involved way. I 100% recommend
