Welcome to Litsy!

Reading this by Riley Sager.

#SoaringScores My daughter has started a bookclub at work. This is their first read. Niki asked me to join in but I said #CountMeOut as I‘m not a fan of Riley Sager. I will say, Niki thought the book was great 😉

This was my first Riley Sager book and I was all in. I opted out of watching two back-to-back movies Because neither seemed more interesting than reading Jules to the end - of which I didn‘t see coming!

Started this right when the weekend started on Friday night. Bit of reading in bed now Sunday night to wind down.

Not the plot twist I saw coming at all, but was still a very enjoyable read! It kept me hooked the entire time and I really enjoy Sager‘s books!! 😍

This was a quick and fun creepy read. Some of Jules‘s decisions were annoyingly stupid but all as expected for this kind of page-turner. I usually listen to thrillers on audiobook but I loved reading this in print. And I really didn‘t see the twist coming at the end! #BOTM

Let‘s start this baby now :))

Day 19 in #fallisbooked, favorite fall read, there has been many but this is fab!

Not bad. Down on her luck Jules gets an opportunity to apartment sit at the prestigious Bartholomew in NY. After only a few days there she starts to realize things are not what they seem and her life may be in danger. Kind of slow but wraps up decently in the end. Id give it 🐍🐍🐍🐍

Day 18 in #fallisbooked, the theme was apples!

Getting in some chapters before work! Really hooked with this current read, I desperately want to find out what the hell is going on !! #currentlyreading #screamathon 🎃👩🏻‍💻

I enjoyed this book, but it wasnt as gripping as many other thrillers for me. It had some interesting moments but also had times where it seemed to drag for a while.

Wow! This book is hauntingly good. It's just the right amount of creepy intrigue and believability for me. I like thrillers that make you think but also don't give away everything before it gets there. It was a shocking page turner.

3/4 worth of boring with a decent ending. Not sure if was worth the struggle to finish but I did think it was a solid final push. If this book was a cat, I would obviously adopt it but it would not be my favourite.

Lunchtime but to be honest, I am really struggling with this one. I am so bored. I just want to finish already. That‘s my unpopular opinion of the day.

Hi! I've been in a huge book slump. This book definitely helped me. I read this book in 3 days. It was very creepy. I'm planning on reading alot thrillers in October. #litsy #kindle #kindlefire #paperwhite #library

Book 1 for #spookathon

Prompt: read a thriller

I enjoyed this thriller. The protagonist was sympathetic and relatable, in a low place after losing her job and her boyfriend in the same day. She gets a “too good to be true” apartment-sitting job in an elite building full of secretive residents. The suspense kept me racing through until a red herring near the end that made me so angry that I wanted to stop reading. Luckily, I powered through and the real conclusion was much more satisfying.

Finished this one last night, read the whole thing in two days. I liked this better than The Last Time I Lied but not as much as Final Girls. I love Sager‘s books because they are so compulsively readable and I can just fly through them. ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Using this as part of the #scaryscavengerhunt for the book where a character dies

Just finished this today! Creepy! @Clwojick #scarathlon #TeamSlaughter #halloween

I liked this one. A quick ⭐⭐⭐⭐ read.

Hello... Stay tuned tomorrow then.

Cant wait for Riley Sager's reveal!

Such a creepy #audiobook! But it is very different than many of these "domestic thrillers", and I'm happy about it. The setting, an old building in nyc, is central to the plot. If you're looking for an atmospheric, creepy novel for this month, I'd recommend this one. ?? also, pictured are my mom's beautiful flowers ? from next door.

This was a great thriller! I saw most of the reveals coming, though there were a few surprises thrown in, but what really made it great was the pacing. The suspense built so well that I actually stayed up late to finish this because I read it while home alone at night, and was scared to go to sleep before I got to the resolution. This would fit team slaughter‘s themes better, but I‘m glad it made it on my Oct reading list! #scarathlon #teamstoker

I came home from a celebration of life, for a friend's mom, and found book mail. A shining spot on a gloomy day. Now onto some reading. #bookmail #BookoftheMonth #teamslaughter #Scarathlon @Clwojick

I really liked this book. I didn‘t predict the last third or so of the book. I was hoping for something more magical but this will certainly do.

This book is why I don‘t sleep around

10-4-19: My 81st finished book of 2019! #lockeverydoor #rileysager 👍🏼📖#️⃣8️⃣1️⃣

Workflow spreadsheet with an #audiobook on #libby. Loving it when I can work on something that also allows listening to a book 🤓
Also, I'm not really participating, but I've seen lots of posts and this one definitely fits! #scarathon 😱

Could not put it down!! I may sleep with the lamp on tonight...

This is the season for spooky reads and I would make this one of them 🍁🎃🍂

An outing with friends led to no reading for day 2. Day 3 being a rainy, lazy day I read non stop until midnight and finished September‘s #24B4Monday at 12:38:52.
Hope to see you all next month!

This was an entertaining read! At first you don't know if the apartment is haunted or not. There's so many details and history on the apartment that ot feels like one of the main characters. I definitely recommend this.

This story toes the line between creepy and scary. With the feel of a Hitchcockian gothic thriller, this sinisterly atmospheric story will have your heart racing.
Jules Larsen finds herself single, unemployed and without a home. Down on luck she takes a job as an apartment sitter at the exclusive Bartholomew Building in Manhattan‘s upper east side. Paid to live in a swanky apartment it‘s the opportunity of lifetime or is it too good to be true?

This is the second Riley Sager book that I have read and this one felt a bit tired. At first I thought it had a Rosemary‘s Baby vibe, but it fell flat.

Jules is down and out after her breakup, but life seems to take a turn for the better when she gets a dream job being an apartment sitter. What happens next will keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat. Riley Sager does it again. I loved this book. The action and suspense had me reading late into the night. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you NetGalley for the early review copy.

Loving this book so far

OH EM GEEEEEEZ this one ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I must read his other books now - I couldn‘t put this down! Twisty twisty and oh so creepy 😁

Next up.

🎧 & 📖 ... I‘m not sure what the bad reviews I‘ve seen are all about. It was an easy fun short tense mystery-like evil read. Pages flew by fast. Teeny bit predictable but it was a well written book & worth my BOTM credit! I liked the way the chapters were laid out! Fun! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/3

Just. Read. It. 🖤

Full disclosure: I am not the right audience for this kind of book, so I have an #unpopularopinion. The best thing about this book was the setting, which was almost like a character, itself. I felt the book was too plot driven and not character driven enough for my taste. The writing didn't stand out for me--very much a typical thriller read, and I am not a fan. I thought I'd give it a try, but it was more #mehthanyeah ⭐⭐⭐/5

⭐⭐⭐⭐ for this psychological thriller. Set in New York City in a building which sounds pretty cool (gargoyles!) And a sweet apartment-sitting situation, it seems. I definitely didn't see the twist coming...

Jules Larsen wakes up on a gurney. All she knows for certain is she was hit by a car crossing the street in front of her home, The Bartholomew Apartments
Jules had taken a job there, as an apartment sitter.
But there are rules, she must follow.....will she?

The plot is so engaging, the characters well developed.The gothic- tinged horror and unexpected twists, are fantastic, but the ending will truly surprise you.

When Ingrid, a new friend of Jules, suddenly and suspiciously goes missing, Jules can‘t help but to take action to find her. This isn‘t Jules‘s first rodeo when it comes to a loved one gone missing and it soon uncovers a long and dark history at the famously unforthcoming Bartholomew Building.
Ooooohh..... this was a good one! Couldn‘t put it down.
