This is the perfect #Twisted book for #Booked2023.

I had a creeping dread and discomfort through the whole book. And while there is a twist, I think twisted describes it better.

Evelyn is a scientist, and in her lab she creates clones. She finds her husband has stolen her research and created a clone of her, and he‘s having an affair with the clone.

Deep with moral questions, this will make you think hard thoughts.

Serious trigger warnings!

Soubhiville While the book is disturbing, it was actually the afterword that gave me literal goosebumps. I actually wish I had started with that, it gave so much insight into the story. 1y

Soubhiville In the photo: Igor in his love seat cave- heated blanket under him, fleece blanket draped to make a cave, and a good view of the bird feeder. What more could a kitty ask for? 1y

Librariana I think that's great advice for future readers! Especially for a story that raises thought-provoking questions. I'm sure it'd make for fabulous book club discussions! 1y

thegreensofa Are you still interested in a Storygraph buddy read? I love psychological thrillers, and would love to do a buddy read too. I have used Storygraph buddy read before (for The Other Black Girl) and was a lot of fun and easy to use. 1y

Losing Me, Finding You | C. M. Stunich

I loved this book. Amy and Austin are such fun characters. He‘s the ultimate bad boy and Amy well the hottest thing she‘s ever experienced was in the form of a book boyfriend until Austin comes to town. This is a super steamy romance and a fast read on top of that. This is why I keep coming back to this author even when I come across the not so brilliant reads of hers.

Totally buying this to add to my permanent collection. It is a bit like Nightmare before christmas as it‘s dark and creepy but in a good way. And it‘s Claws not Claus. The story has great rhymes and perfect cadence and the Gris Grimly illustrations are a perfect match.

A first-hand account of a psychopathic mind, twisted in the best way. If you like the show You, you‘ll definitely like The Perfect Girlfriend!

Twisted | Laurie Halse Anderson

pick

I just love Laurie Halse Anderson. I began listening on @scribd to her novel Twisted, and I was immediately swept away. The protagonist, Tyler, embodies so much of what is great about teenagers: self-discovery, wavering self-confidence, and an earnest attempt to do what is right. While some of the twists and turns seemed to be a little overdramatized, I left convinced (once again!) of Anderson's ability to dig into the minds of teenagers.⠀

Venomous (Alien Warrior) | Penelope Fletcher

This turned out to be a really fun book to read. It was free on Google Books, so I thought, why not, and gave it a chance.

It's a reverse harem (1 female, several males) romance set in an alien world. The characters are engaging and the world building is well done. I actually can't wait to read the next book.

DAY 6: 🤬 this #jealousguy. I hated him from the start.

Soubhiville He‘s the creepiest of all creeps! 5y

Cinfhen Great choice!! But I‘ll be damned if I wasn‘t still rooting for him #twisted (edited) 5y

AsYouWish @Cinfhen I was rooting for him too! I mean I felt like he had a few redeeming qualities, but they got overshadowed by his other qualities!!😂 5y

saresmoore I don‘t want to watch this movie because it may ruin my undying love for Dan Humphrey. 5y

Burghbookaddict Me too! I don't understand how anyone likes him! I didn't like Beck either, though. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 5y

britt_brooke @saresmoore 😆 I haven‘t watched the series because I hated the book, but I love your reasoning. 5y

britt_brooke @Cinfhen @AsYouWish I really hated this book, so there were no redeeming qualities for me. 😆 Not even his love for books. 5y

britt_brooke @Soubhiville Such a creep!! 🙅🏼‍♀️ 5y

britt_brooke @BurghBookAddict I think part of the reason some people like Joe is because Beck is so detestable, too. I hated them both ... and the book. 5y

Cinfhen I agree Beck was super annoying but she didn‘t deserve that kind of “attention”🙄 @AsYouWish @BurghBookAddict @britt_brooke There was just something about Joe...it was my obsession with the “bad” boys all over again 😉 5y

saresmoore Oh, I‘ve no doubt the book was awful. So was the TV series! But I can‘t be held accountable for my postpartum binge watching habits. 😬 5y

britt_brooke @Cinfhen 😆 5y

britt_brooke @saresmoore Oops, I meant I hated the Caroline Kepnes book so I haven‘t watched the Lifetime series. I‘ve never read nor seen Gossip Girl. I had to google Dan Humphrey, haha! 5y

AsYouWish @Cinfhen I also have an obsession for "bad" boys in literature and movies. I agree Beck was annoying, it was more so the way she didn't really know what she wanted and I felt she was messing with Joe's head a bit, then again he wouldn't have known that if he wasn't doing what he was doing! If you can't tell, this book messed with me a bit and I am loving the show because it doesn't follow the book exactly, so it keeps me guessing! 5y

saresmoore Oh! Haha! I think it‘s safe to say you‘re not missing anything. 5y

britt_brooke @saresmoore 😆 5y

Burghbookaddict @AsYouWish I actually prefer the show over the book 😳 5y

LoverofLit @Cinfhen I'm right there with you on #teamjoe 🔥 🔥😍😍 Though I'm a little embarassed and ashamed to admit it! In You I just found him funny but head over heels happened in

Hidden Bodies

Bklover @Cinfhen I‘m with you on Joe! Found myself cheering him on. (And yes, he is a total creep). Loved this book- just started the series on tv. I guess I must have a dark side! 5y

IheartYA I've watched only the first 3 or 4 episodes but I adore Penn Badgley and he's the only reason I watched. Not my usual thing. 5y

WhatThePuck @LoverofLit #teamJoe also. I laughed out loud to some of his funnier one liners. I will still quote him to other people when they are annoying me. 😂😂 5y

Cinfhen I haven‘t watched the series but I think I should @Bklover @LoverofLit @AsYouWish 5y

Victoriahoperose I kinda dig this show. The book was definitely better, but there are some interesting things that they did in the show that differed and were pretty well done. I actually kinda like Joe as twisted as it is lol 5y

britt_brooke @Victoriahoperose It‘s disturbing 😆, but it seems like more people like him than not. 5y

Billypar Wow...I feel like I should develop some 'You' literacy just so I can get in in on the conversation, lol. I like Dan Humphrey- I could see him as a villain though. 5y

britt_brooke @Billypar 😆 Joe is a total creeper!! 🙅🏼‍♀️ 5y

The Merry Spinster: Tales of Everyday Horror | Mallory Ortberg

so-so

As a lover of fairytales, feminist takes on classics, and all things dark and twisted; I was SO excited to read this. The author does a great job with sticking to the tone of fairytales and making them rather twisted. Most the stories were awesome. Sadly, there were a few that were a bit *too* hard to follow, and some that were boring. #fairytale #dark #twisted #feminist

Bookish_AF I‘ve got this on hold at the library (I‘m next on the list!) but I‘ve seen some mixed reviews. I‘ll be interested to see how I like it! 6y

Jess_Franzino It‘s definitely worth the read! Most of the stories are amazing. 6y
