Violet strained, searching for the sensation through the suffocating blackness. It wasn‘t the kind of thing she could see or hear, making it all the more difficult to pinpoint.

pickThis is the 20th book in a series that started as modern Agatha Christie type mysteries (motive and plot driven with great characters) but has morphed over the last few books into thrillers. Fortunately, I love both and really enjoyed it. I admit though as a Canadian it also terrified me, as it cut too close to possible realities given the horrible rhetoric towards our country by the current American president. Hopefully this stays fiction. 4.5/5
pickMy husband and I went to see the movie last night, and it was a great adaptation! Really close to the book minus some slight changes to the end to make it a bit more cinematic. Surprisingly funny in moments too. My husband had no clue what to expect but he enjoyed it and said he would return if there‘s a sequel! The last thriller book to movie adaptation he saw was Gone Girl and he didn‘t think this was as good, but still held its own!
pickI liked this one. I thought it was different and intriguing. I really liked Sally as a character. This book is definitely more of a heavy read, but I still enjoyed the story and character development. I was very disappointed by the ending that completely ruined any character development that happened throughout the book. 4/5
For my 2026 #BookSpinBingo, here are my personal rules to fit my life!
- #BookSpin & #DoubleSpin are priorities.
- The #BookSpin book is replaced by my book club's monthly pick. Original book in that spot moves to #25.
- NetGalley reviews go in #24 & can swap with any spot. No NetGalley means #24 becomes a free choice that is fixed.
- #23 is a mood read. I can swap it with any other spot on the board, but I can only do this once per month.
A surprise hit for October! I read this for a book club and while the story was great and groundbreaking, I was reminded how much I love the writing style of the 1950s. #12booksof2025 @TheEllieMo
I barely got to read anything for my own enjoyment in 2025 because of school assigned reading and extracurriculars so I‘m starting 2026 with this book by Erin Beaty in hopes I‘ll get to read for myself more this year!

Another author thay I bought a couple of her books when BookOutlet shipped to PR. without knowing that they are Christian fiction. I haven‘t found much religious content which is not my thing. This story is about to reveal what happened in a murder. The church was involved but the story focus in the investigation. Some conservative beliefs are discussed but I integrated as part of the story⬇️
