so-soThomas illustrated the mother's grief well. I'm just left with what did I read and why? 🤔
pickCreepy read with lots of surprises! I honestly didn't like the ending at first but so many other things worked so well in this one. It was so easy to forget you were reading letters! Incredibly atmospheric and I enjoyed the smart house elements as well.
pickI'm already anticipating his next one! I stayed up ALLLLLL NIIIIIGGGHHTT to finish this one. And jumped at every sound and shadow 🤣
pickI loved this book and the parallel plot lines! I'm a sucker for archeology, historic homes & legends! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickAs always I loved being back with Ruth, Nelson & their archeological mysteries. I wish I was just discovering this series so I wouldn't have to wait for book 12!
pickHonestly, I liked the premise of this book -- the role of storytelling and how it shapes us. But this was also a book that I could have put down and left unfinished (had I not been desperate to reach the midway point in my Goodreads challenge 🙈). I wish there had been more about the Quietly as well.
Nearly half way through and enjoying this one immensely! It's #11 in my favourite series.
pickYou know that feeling where you're dreaming but kinda awake too? Yeah, this book felt like being in someone else's mind during that ... essentially, a writer has taken himself to a remote location to try to write another successful book. He contemplates some of literatures great "monsters" with particular attention on Mary Shelley...if you're a 'Frankenstein' fan, give this one a go. A unique exploration of how we become what we create. Fast read!
About 60 pages in and hooked by the unique format -- reads like the notes/inner ramblings of a writer at the moment.
pickA quick, cosy mystery with an interesting lead character. I enjoyed this one and might continue the series!
pickThis was TWISTED! If you liked 'The Silent Patient' you might enjoy this one. Feeney did an excellent job keeping me guessing until the very end. (TW: sexual abuse) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Also, if you've already read this one, check out this fun visual guide to the novel: http://www.criminalelement.com/i-know-who-you-are-alice-feeney-visual-guide-gifn...
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️ A good suspenseful read with interesting characters. There were some loose ends that felt a bit unfinished, but I'm still happy I read it 😊
pickThis book was right up my alley although I didn't find it to be amazing. I liked the characters but wanted a little more from a few plot details. Still happy to have read it!
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️ this was between a pick & so-
So for me. I liked seeing the story unfold from the father's point of view/journals.
pickIf you enjoy the gothic genre and are looking for a bit of a ghost story, this one's for you! A few bits could have benefitted from a bit more development but still a good weekend read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
pickLovely and heartbreaking. One to reread many times. I could also see lots of uses in the classroom as well
Good Friday charity shop purchases 😍
pickQuick paced & clever. A book you'll want to finish in a day!
So far, so good! Hope it maintains this momentum!
pickI decided to give this book a go after binging on the Netflix series. It took me ages to read it, but I genuinely thought Atwood's writing was beautiful and insightful. There were times I just didn't feel as if the story was moving along...the quilt/patchwork motif is certainly intriguing.
pickAt first the multiple narratives weren't working for me but close to the 80% mark, things really began to click & pick up. The ending definitely made this one a pick from me. I look forward to reading Maine's 'Women of the Dunes' next
pickThe multiple narrators worked extremely well in adding to the suspense!
Beautiful books!! I love reading on my Kindle but couldn't pass up these charity shop finds 😍
This little discovery on the bus journey in to work sparked a little joy this morning! I found this book in perfect condition with beautiful magenta edges in a charity shop this weekend. And now I've discovered it's signed! 😊
pickThis one was heartbreaking but I was captivated by the fairy tale woven into novel. That kept me reading until the end.
Can anyone recommend a book of short stories that might captivate reluctant readers, 11/12 year olds?!?!
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️ had no trouble finishing this but it wasn't as suspenseful or surprising as I'd hoped 🤷🏻♀️
so-soThe fifth in the series but the first I've read. It's good but I'm not totally smitten. Perhaps beginning with the first in the series would have helped me better appreciate Fiona's idiosyncrasies.
so-soIf you liked 'The Woman in the Window' then you might enjoy this one as well. I like for my stories to be a tad bit more plausible
pickMy first read of 2019! And it was a crazy ride ... the last line made me doubt everything I thought I knew about the storyline 😂
I didn't finish the book bc 🤷🏻♀️But I'm very much looking forward to starting this series and having a cosy day in.
pickA stand alone thriller & my first by this author. Enjoyed this fast-paced novel over a few lazy days ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
so-soThis book has a lot going on & some of it didn't seem to enhance the story; the multiple narratives sometimes took away from it. I liked the story itself: a woman keeps a diary which someone is reading. The ending felt quite rushed but I was okay with that since I'd figured out the murderer anyway. It was nice to read something else by EG as the Ruth Galloway series is one of my favourites!
pickA magical Christmas story. My six year old greatly enjoyed reading this at bedtime this Christmas season
pickGreat way to meet my yearly reading goal of 30 books! I really loved the suspense and gothic elements. Definitely recommend if you're in the mood for a spooky read! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What‘s on your Christmas list?!
pickAlthough I found some of the early descriptions a bit graphic, I'm glad I continued with this novel. Purcell's vivid descriptions are especially part of my favourite bit. I'd read The Silent Companions and loved Purcell's writing. I'm reading Alias Grace at the moment and I'm noticing some parallels between the narrative structures. Solid 🌟🌟🌟🌟
pickI love, love, love Robin & Strike! I was at first put off by the political plot line but the character development made this a pick for me!
I need suggestions!!!! As part of a settling in routine, I'd like to begin my second year class with a bit of reading aloud -- kids loved having their teacher read to them in primary school! So, does anyone have a super engaging suggestion?!?! I'd thought about the tagged book but not entirely sure about the topic of 'reproductive rights'.
