She's Not Sorry: A Psychological Thriller (Original) | Mary Kubica

July 14, 2025 I did not read today one bit but was planning to. I have noticed that by reading words it can have an effect on you. That happened to me last night when I was reading in bed. I had goosebumps and chills just reading about Meghan slowly killing Caitlin with an insulin pen that belonged to another patient. Mrs. Beckett was in tears.

Appointment with Yesterday | Celia Fremlin

I have an appointment with Fremlin in this spot for reading while husband & son fish this afternoon. I‘m in my favorite place in the world. 😊😌 Our backyard for three short days.

Federal lands should not be sold (as proposed) and hence locked up by the ultra wealthy. Little people like us would never have access to it or if so, only for a hefty price.

dabbe I loved the movie with Angela Lansbury as the evil mother. I never tried the book, though, and now I definitely won't! 😂 15h

TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe I think I'd rather watch the movie! 😱 The story sounds intriguing, but the writing is word salad galore 😖 Also--HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS TO YOU!!! 🎊💙🎊🥳💙 12h

The Bones Beneath My Skin | Tj Klune

pick

While I did enjoy this, it fell short of the books I love by TJ Klune. Still a pick.

My main issue is that Artimis Darth Vader, the little girl in the story, sometimes comes across as incredibly naive and sometimes comes across as too mature. This might be fitting for the character and circumstances, but it felt inconsistent and pulled me out of the story.

Still worth a read, just didn‘t live up to Whispering Door for me.

Erinreadsthebooks I felt the same way. Definitely a pick, but not as strong as his other books. 20h

Robotswithpersonality

Running Blind | Lee Child

pan

What. The. Actual. Fuck. So Child just decided to throw all the development from the third book out, huh?
Worst female characterization yet, and misogyny in general is why I will NOT be continuing in the series.
Author is bending over backwards to find a reason for Reacher to be involved in yet another criminal investigation even though he's not formally connected to any law enforcement agency, 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? and in the process decided not only will the FBI have no problem with threatening assault, mutilation and death of Reacher's girlfriend, who in the last book was interesting and well-rounded character, at the hands of a crime boss, but that the crimes here have to be about women not only having survived sexual harrassment and assault in the Army, but now being targeted for murder seemingly as a result of their previous victimization. 1d

Robotswithpersonality 3/? The two new female characters introduced fall into the only two camps you'd expect a men's rights group to recognize: one that barely challenges him, is constantly objectified and regularly coming onto him, something he reciprocates physically despite the aforementioned girlfriend!
And one that is immediately prejudiced against Reacher, shrewish, obstinate and inflexible, unwilling to listen (though that has other motivations attached), 1d

Robotswithpersonality 4/? again often described based on physical characteristics, but in this case negatively, who's deeply insecure about having a prettier sister and might also have daddy issues about the stepfather. Can you guess who the bad 'guy' is, based on this description? 🙄 Yep, author really went there. 1d

Robotswithpersonality 5/? And if that wasn't enough, Reacher, seemingly unable to get over the FBI backing him into a corner, seems to spend more time verbally sparring (in not particular scintillating dialogue) and attempting to outwit the FBI, rather than actually helping with the investigation, even though the women involved are people Reacher previously knew and helped when he was a member of Military Police, and aiding the investigation might fall under common 1d

Robotswithpersonality 6/6 decency even if it somehow harms his lone wolf rebel status.
Oh, and a major plot point involves hypnosis.
Yeah, I think I'm done with this series, permanently. 🚮
⚠️SA, misogyny 1d
