#BOTMbuddy

Brief respite between work and dinner. Listlessly thinking about reading this book- Sense & Sensibility, other, but still in a slump. I did finish #botmbuddy read, The Sun Down Motel, which is due next Sunday. That was a “creepy, page turner, heart thumping, anxiety producing ride for me.
Grateful for my job, grateful for my porch, grateful for my family. #gratitude #teachersoflitsy #marvelousMay

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I agree with your review of the book and I love your porch!! I hope you get out of your slump soon! 4y
kspenmoll @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I decided that writing some #litsylove cards may help-,just dwell in that space of ❤️❤️as I write. My plan for after work tomorrow! 4y

#BOTMBUDDY #7
OMGOODNESS Monique‘s
DAD WAS HARRYS LOVER
that‘s why he couldn‘t move....
My thoughts on what it was :
She‘s going to commit suicide (because of Monique‘s article)
Monique is really one of her friends or husband‘s kid?
Monique is related to Evelyn through her dad?

You???? Was this a bombshell ???

Mitch id been playing out different scenarios too -i think it was left very very late as a reveal though - felt a bit too late. I would have liked it to have been explored more. (edited) 4y
Soubhiville @mitch I found myself trying to guess the ending and connection too. Much more than I normally do. I was surprised at the end, but also satisfied. 4y
TheBookHippie @Soubhiville I don‘t usually try this hard either maybe because it was such a late reveal. 4y

CoffeeNBooks I was completely surprised by that information! I agree with @Mitch - it would have been interesting if that info had been revealed earlier and explored more. 4y
TheRomantiCate I was blown away by the connection! I mean I think it was hinted at in the beginning that there might be some connection but James and Harry was the last thing I was thinking about!! 4y
mrp27 I spent far too much time thinking about the connection, maybe that's why I didn't like it so much, I was too focused on that. Anyway, wasn't too shocking because I was expecting something. 4y
Librarybelle You knew something had to happen - the reveal was so late in the game. I kept whispering “no, no“ as I read that whole scene. 4y
Scochrane26 I knew there had to be a connection w/ Monique‘s dad & with her article, but I wasn‘t expecting it to be Harry & her dad. Heartbreaking for everyone. 4y

#BOTMBUDDY READ #8
Albertine‘s very cruel death....thoughts?!?!

I THREW THE BOOK BECAUSE ...REALLY?!?!?!

Karisa Lily deserved a better death. Instead of just in the dark and confused. I thought she would have died defending Lucy. That was more in keeping with her character's boldness. It felt like it was just to keep Edward guessing and pining. Cruel to the characters... 5y
TheBookHippie @Karisa CRUEL was the word I kept thinking too. For both of them. 5y
BookwormAHN She deserved a better death. 5y

Hooked_on_books Her death was bullshit. I was expecting some big tussle and her drowning in the river, but that?!? After all the buildup in the book, what a complete disappointment. 5y
Hooked_on_books @TheBookHippie Exactly. You should have seen the disgusted look on my face when I was reading. 😂 5y
CoffeeNBooks I thought this was a ridiculous ending for Birdie. It didn't make any sense to me. Birdie wouldn't have just given up. 5y
Sargar114 Cruel is a great description. I agree with @Karisa that it isn‘t consistent with her character and can see she may have died defending Lucy as more in line with that. It does help with why no one knew about what happened with her...but wouldn‘t she have started to decompose at some point? Or was no one in the house by then? 5y
janeycanuck HOW ON GOD‘S GREAT GREEN EARTH DID WAS SHE NOT ABLE TO ATTRACT SOME LEVEL OF ATTENTION SO THAT SOMEONE KNEW SHE WAS THERE?!?!?! 5y
janeycanuck @Hooked_on_books THIS!!! There was so much build up, you could only assume Birdie went out in some kind of blaze of glory. 5y
Hooked_on_books @janeycanuck She SHOULD have gone out in a blaze of glory for sure. I am so disgusted by that choice. 5y
janeycanuck @Hooked_on_books one of the biggest disappointments in a book full of them. 5y

I‘m supposed to be reading this for the #BOTMbuddy read but I‘m a bad buddy and read the whole thing in 2days. It is too riveting to read slowly. This is a fast paced thriller with so many twists that is a must read for thriller fans! Darby, the main character, should #neverever take things into her own hand though. She started a chain of events that snowballed out of control.

TrishB I enjoyed this one too 👍🏻 full on action. 5y
Mdargusch A little too grisly for @TrishB but I was definitely on the edge of my seat. 5y
