Welcome to Litsy!

This was so good! 👍👍👍
#audible

This, for me, didn‘t quite live up to the hype. I enjoyed reading it and was surprised by the twist, but I didn‘t find it to be a book that truly drew me in. I always felt a little removed from the story and characters. Possibly, I had simply read too much glowing praise for it and this made my expectations too high. It‘s a good mystery novel but I wasn‘t on the edge of my seat with anticipation. Good, not amazing, for me. But worthwhile for sure.

Wow, I was not expecting that ending! I love a good twist and the truly surprising ones are rare. I thought there was tons of tension, which propelled the story forward. All around excellent psychological thriller. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼1/2

Excited to start this one and also to finally have a day in Michigan where it‘s beautiful for reading outside! #nomorerainplease #timeoffworkbeginsnow #libraryholdcamein

Well this sucked me right in - looks like I‘m taking a break from romance...

So I started the Silent Patient because of all the hype I have seen about it. I am on part two (Chapter 9)of the book and do not know if I should give up or keep going. So far it is nothing but one big introduction of the main character and not much plot. Any advice from readers whom read this book?

Wow. Alicia is found with slit wrists next to her beloved husband who has been shot in the head five times. She never speaks again until a motivated psychotherapist takes it up as his personal mission to help her.
I haven't read such a good thriller in a while.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Today‘s #libraryhaul is all over the place and I‘m excited.

I don't normally fare well with thrillers but I enjoyed this one. I wish I'd known nothing about it going in though. It would have made for a better experience if I wasn't anticipating anything. And that's all I'll say so I don't spoil it for anyone else who might not know anything about it!

As a therapist, I absolutely hated it. As a reader, I couldn‘t put it down. #ATY2019 #19in19

I sat down this morning to read a couple chapters before doing some housework. I'm totally engrossed and cannot put the book down. 🤷🏼‍♀️ #lazysunday #botm #whoneedsacleanhouse

Thank you @NenaB for your amazing recommendation. This book had me hooked within the first few pages. Filled with shocking twists and turns it will definitely not disappoint you. Totally recommend.

Would anyone would think anything if I pull this one out at the doctor‘s office... 🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂

2019 Book 25: Hmmm... where do I begin? To start with, it took over half the book to grab me, but once it did, I couldn‘t put it down. I had to know what was coming. And I didn‘t see it coming. There is a pretty big plot twist to this book that I kept waiting for. I have to say it was worth the wait. ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

They have arrived! Perfect timing since I just finished a book today and was ready to start a new one. But which one to start first?! 🤔

Enjoying this fast-paced read! #catsoflitsy #seamus

I‘m afraid I‘m bailing.... I‘ve given it the 100 pages test ... it‘s not that it‘s bad , it‘s just not holding me. There‘s something missing for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Alicia Berenson shot her husband 5 times in the face and then goes completely mute. What happened? Why won‘t Alicia speak? Theo Faber a psychotherapist is convinced he can help Alicia and figure out what happened. Most of the book is told from Theo‘s POV and I found him intriguing. What is his motivation? Is he obsessed with Alicia? I didn‘t see the twist coming. A solid thriller.

Next up - continuing in thriller mode. I did read the sample on kindle , so this seems to be good 🤞🏻. After 2 days of being a Granny I‘m ready for some down time ... later on today , a few jobs first 👍🏻.

Starting this one next! Trying to pare down by #botm shelves as my unread piles are completely out of control! 🤪

At the library getting in some reading while the daughter plays on computers.

Alicia Berenson is a silent #deadlydiva. Even though I couldn‘t predict the ending, it wasn‘t too #shocking. #30junebooks #jazzyjune
Between a Pick and a So-So.

I was annoyed by the lead for most of the book. His obsession with the killer and how he seemed to have no accountability to any of the other patients at the asylum irritated me. I was curious about the story enough to stick with it, but overall I‘d give it a so-so.

This is a page turner! I unfortunately had read some reviews that kind of spoiled the ending, but I still enjoyed it. A quick read!

All credit for disruptions goes to my children. None of it was staged but they sure helped me prove my point. 😂 Check it out: https://youtu.be/wCSsJ2J7geo #booktubenewbietag #booktuber #newbooktubevideo #bookgroup #readingcommunity #readingbuddies #letstalkaboutbooks #ilovereading

‪It‘s the last day to enter my #bookish #giveaway! What are you waiting for??? I mean, who doesn‘t want #freestuff?? https://www.facebook.com/262384764521804/posts/283956155697998?s=1282951466&sfns...

I checked this out on the recommendation of a coworker and while it‘s not the best thriller I‘ve ever read it definitely kept me turning the pages! And it made me jump when my doorbell rang in the middle of reading the last 100 pages this morning, so I was definitely sucked into it. I feel like I didn‘t connect enough to the characters to call it a five star read but it‘s certainly intriguing and fast-moving.

I was looking forward to reading this, but I also was worried, because it's had so much hype surrounding it, I was afraid of being let down. However, that didn't happen. Stellar read all the way through.

I first heard about The Silent Patient during an interview on the @justtherightbook podcast with the editors of @celadonbooks when they described why they chose this novel as the first on the imprint; then, Roxane Coady interviewed Michaelides himself. They talked about the book as a slow build, and it is, but it also sweeps the reader along as the mystery develops. (continued in comments)

This book starts out with a bang on page one. Twists and turns, I couldn‘t put it down until I finished it!

This book is wild. It's about a therapist on the quest of helping a patient accused of killing her husband - she has stopped speaking completely. From start to finish this book keeps you engaged in trying to figure out what happened that night of the murder. The climax is not all that surprising but the book is so we'll written, it'll still spark something in you - sadness and disgust. #teamnosleep for #thesilentpatient

Omg,this was awesome. Twists,thrills,lies, betrayal...mind-blowing. I did not see the end coming,very entertaining. I highly recommend this book

Took a reading break to scroll through IG and found this! Thought you'd appreciate it, I'm in LOVE #library #booklove #incredible #bookgoals

Saturday morning reading 💖

Here is my (ambitious) June #TBR (physical) books.

I was waiting for this to be returned for AGES! Can't wait to dive in. Who read this?! What are your thoughts? #thesilentpatient

My June BOTM picks. Last year I made a rule to stop getting thrillers because they always sound great but always disappoint me. And now here I am getting The Silent Patient! 🤦🏽‍♀️ I've heard so much about it I got curious. Fingers crossed I don't hate it. What did you all get?

Trying to relax and read after a long day of work but Cain thinks momma needs to put her book down and love on him 🤣

I can see this as a TV series, and I think it would be good. As a book, it was an ok quick, easy read.

Last line: And I went to catch another one.

Anyone else think this is a mistake??

But real love is very quiet, very still...Love is deep and calm--and constant.

We're all crazy, I believe, just in different ways.

I was disconnected from my emotions, like a hand severed from a wrist.

Somehow grasping at vanishing snowflakes is like grasping at happiness...

First line: I dont know why im writing this.

Amazing fast paced "thriller". It did keep me intrigued to wonder why Alicia was silent. For some reason the twist didnt hit me too shockingly but the way they tied it together did. Def recommend. #botm

Quick read and a good twist. But I figured it out early mainly because I had anxiety from the start of the book. Can‘t say more than that without spoilers, but I‘d recommend it as an easy beach or airplane read.

A mid day snack and some reading after doing some chores and prepping dinner
