Welcome to Litsy!

The whole time I was listening to this, I kept wondering where it was going...I was ten minutes from the end, thinking WTF? These people have too much baggage for me to even care what happens to them...and yet I was still compelled to listen all the way to the end, maybe that was due to the perfectly performed narration, though. And while the ending was sort of satisfying...it may have been better if the Earth had opened up and swallowed them all.

I liked this. It's being called a potboiler and I definitely agree. Kira lands a part in a play called Temper. Joanna is running the theater company. Malcolm is the lead and the director. What will he do to get the best performance? It's kind of a slow burn but it sucks you in.

Awful book billed as a psychologically thriller. A sadistic theater director does the casting couch thing with his two leading ladies and puts them through the ringer. Well, until he gets his comeuppance all "Black Swan" style. Writing was amateur and filled with too many predictable cliches and mystery tropes. Skip this turkey.

Today's #read99women guest @katelizabee has a new book out in the world today: FOLLOW ME! And I'm equally eager to pick up this "slow-burning feminist thriller" she recommends. More here: http://www.greermacallister.com/blog/2020/2/19/read99women-kathleen-barber

• Received this #goodreads #giveaway back in the spring. This one came out July 2. Currently on page 45 and not liking it. It's either the fact I don't like the characters, or the drama world completely bores me (both are true) but I just don't have good luck with fiction ARCs 🤷‍♀️ Giving it a little bit longer (seriously, 25 more pages) and I'm bailing. Might anyone be interested in a #LitsyBookSwap? I know...way to sell it, right?! 😆 •

I don‘t remember how I heard about this one, but it‘s both not what I was expecting and completely on the tracks. I guessed the ending within seconds of starting it, but there is some decent tension throughout. More of a suspense than a thriller, but decent. If I didn‘t know exactly where it was going maybe I‘d have liked it more. But there are no surprises.

It feels like forever since I read a straight thriller. Can‘t wait to crawl into bed with this one.

Next up for the #reversereadathon. Time for something completely different! #readathon #deweyaug

July Wrap Up! I had a great month of books with Temper taking the cake!! 👏 🍰

Holy crap WOW. I don‘t even know what just happened but I loved it!! This book is a dark, psychological thrill ride and I just couldn‘t get off. I needed to know what these characters were thinking and what they were going to do next. Layne Fargo‘s writing is both edgy and utterly fascinating! Holy book hangover!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

It's a gorgeous day in NYC! Perfect for perusing the $1 carts at the Strand. Found a few gems, including this ARC of Temper that sounds really good. Not released until July so probably a bit of an oops that it ended up for sale 🤫 #bookhaul

I received this as an ARC from a Goodreads Giveaway for my honest opinion. I liked it. It was a slow burn. Two women's POV's during the rehearsals of a play called Temper. Short Chapters and an ending that was unreal

Received this ARC through Goodreads. Going to start.tonight. It's a psychological thriller.

Got this arc in a little free library, it‘s hella menacing, all about the theatre community in Chicago so I‘m loving all the references to places I know!
