Just finished this one! Read it for book club. It‘s not something I would‘ve read on my own. It was a little slow to start but eventually picks up. Greta is an interesting character. Overall I liked it but it‘s definitely quirky & may not be for some people. I‘m eager to see what people at book club have to say about it!

Finished this one last week after seeing the author talk at my local independent bookstore! It‘s set in the Warsaw ghetto in WWII. I‘ll read anything about the Holocaust &this story doesn‘t focus on the horrors of it, while they are there. It focuses on one man‘s ability to survive it. It‘s a beautiful story set in a tragic setting. The good and the bad are shown here. I recommend this one even if you don‘t normally read books about the Holocaust.

This was an enjoyable enough of a read and fast paced. Read this one for the new mystery/thriller book club at my local independent bookstore. As we discussed it there were mentioning of a lot of things that maybe didn‘t make this book so great, but it‘s serves the purpose of a mystery/thriller if you‘re looking for a fix. There was debate over the ending & eager to hear what others thought about it. I havent read the author‘s other book but I may

My 1st book of 2024! Finished it last month for a new book group I joined at my local independent bookstore. This was the 1st thing by the author that I‘ve read. I really enjoyed this one. It‘s amazing how June frames herself to the reader and she really believes that she‘s the victim. Thought an aspect of the ending was a little contrived but it made for great discussion! I recommend this one! Def interesting 2 learn about the publishing industry

Never Lie | Freida McFadden

My last book of 2023! This was my 1st Freida McFadden book. I enjoyed the pacing. The reason that it‘s a so-so for me is that the big twist just didn‘t make sense. & for a long time you‘re led to believe one thing and it turns out to not be the case. I read online & a lot of ppl had the same reaction that I did. I also read that her other books are better and that I should still read those. I own a few more of her books so I hope they‘re good!

I always enjoy Barclay‘s thrillers! In this one though some things just happened right at the right moment or seemed coincidental & I usually don‘t get those vibes from his books. I predicted a couple of twists and was surprised some POVs were thrown in just to throw the reader off track & it didn‘t really go anywhere. That said, this was a fun ride & the twists are enjoyable as they come along. Curious what other fans of Barclay‘s books think!

It was great seeing Molly back in action solving another murder! The flashback scenes were good even if they distracted some from the main storyline. I enjoyed this one but I probably liked the 1st one better. I wonder if there will be a third book!

Oh how I loved this book! It‘s wonderful to see a main character who I would say is on the spectrum and who struggles socially. I could relate to her in some ways. It was a good mystery too. I just really enjoyed the writing and storytelling! Florence Pugh is set to star in the film adaptation I believe. I can‘t wait until it‘s brought to the big screen! Just read this book; you will fall in love with Molly the Maid!

Finished this last week! I learned a lot about the victims & also the perpetrator. Not really a lot of new information in regards to the ongoing case as the trial hasn‘t happened yet. But it was nice to read everything together in one place so you could see the progression of events unfolding. If you‘re a true crime fan or followed the case, I would recommend this book. It is chilling to read the re-enactments of the crimes but it‘s based in fact

What an excellent read! The short chapters made this book easy to fly through. It was hard to read about how her mom was abusing her and how young Jennette didn‘t know any better. I learned a lot about eating disorders. I‘d be eager to know what her mom‘s diagnoses would be in terms of mental health/disorders. It was great to read how Jennette got her life together & was able to move on from acting. I‘d be curious to see her one woman show.

This was the coming of age story of the author in revolutionary Iran & her teenage years in Vienna & how she came back to Iran & then finally left for good. I definitely learned a lot of Iranian history & its history with Iraq & other countries in the region. The drawings were magnificent. In my opinion it ended kind of suddenly but I guess it‘s good if it left me wanting more!

Finished this 1 yesterday! I‘d been reading it 4 group therapy & it led to some good discussions! The V in the BRAVING acronym really stuck with me. The V stands for Vault & it‘s about keeping people‘s confidences. I thought I was good at that but it made me realize that if I reveal someone‘s confidences to another person, then that other person could decide that I‘m untrustworthy & I definitely don‘t want that to be the case! Made me check myself

5 stars! This memoir was so good & very well written! I only read an article in People magazine months ago that recommended it & I‘m so glad I picked it up! Minka truly had a horrible upbringing with her Mom who worked as a stripper & them never having a roof over their heads that was theirs. It took hard work & determination & a few lucky breaks but Minka was able to break the cycle and find success. I highly recommend this one!

I finished this a couple weeks ago! It‘s simply written. A lot of her earlier career is somewhat glossed over but it goes into detail with her relationships with Justin Timberlake and Kevin Federline. And of course the conservatorship which was truly awful. They could lock her up in institutions at their will & control what she ate. I won‘t give away other hints & I hope she is able to find peace now that she‘s free!

Finished this last week! An excellent conclusion to the Ellery Hathaway series! It went with the series‘ roots which was Coben. There‘s a TV personality & Hollywood mogul who want to interview the infamous convicted serial killer Francis Coben in prison. He claims he can give names to more victims if he can see Ellery. It‘s a great suspenseful story with good pacing and twists along the way. I am pleased with the ending for Ellery and Reed.

MyNamesParadise I cannot recommend this series enough!! If you like mysteries and crime and it‘s effects on it‘s victims and loved ones and thrillers than this series is for you!! 6mo

This was a good entry in the Ellery Hathaway series! Schaffhausen knows how to bring on the twists & turns in the plot while evolving Ellery and Reed Markham‘s characters! A girl goes missing & Detective Hathaway is on the case & Reed joins the case too. Did she runaway or was she taken? Looking at the girl‘s mother‘s past it‘s revealed she‘s lost a child before. Unexpected twists along the way & more personal developments make this excellent!

This was an excellent 3rd installment of the Ellery Hathaway series! Reed Markham who saved her all those years ago from a serial killer is now enlisting her help in the 40 year old cold case of his mother‘s murder. Still suspended from her job, Ellery dives in at the challenge. Great suspense in this one and twists until the very end. If you liked the previous two books you will enjoy this one too!!

I am flying through the Ellery Hathaway series! Finished this one in a few days! Ellery is on suspension from actions taken place in the 1st book. She‘s ordered to join a victims of violent crime group & instead of working on herself, she decided to investigate the cases of those that put her fellow group members there. From a decades old fire to a brutal rape, this book will keep your attention & the pacing & character development is brilliant!

This book doesn‘t have the pace/suspense of Defending Jacob, but is still an excellent book in its own right. The book is written in an interesting format, divided into “books” told from different perspectives that makes the story more well rounded. Landay knows how to deliver a last minute twist & he doesn‘t disappoint in this regard either. This book is more literary &tells the haunting story of a family marred by the disappearance of its mother

MyNamesParadise Did the father do it like everyone thinks? The book especially shows how it affects children Jeff and Miranda. I enjoyed seeing their characters through the years as there were twists with the case and how they evolved. It would be interesting to see this adapted. I‘m not sure if it‘s work better as a film or mini series. I recommend this one! 9mo

An excellent thriller! I loved the switching POVs & the momentum it added to the story!

This book is simply perfect. It is the story of Holocaust survivor Hannah Pick-Goslar, a childhood best friend of Anne Frank. Anyone can read this book. If you‘re unfamiliar w/ the history, the book provides that but doesn‘t feel like you‘re reading a history book. It is completely compelling! You follow Hannah as she moves to Amsterdam & meets the Franks & life as war goes on. As conditions worsen, the Franks disappear 1 day & Hannah & her family

MyNamesParadise are arrested and sent to Westerbork transit camp. Then when Hannah and her family are sent to Bergen-Belsen and the reunion between her and Anne. Then the story of liberation and Hannah‘s post war life as she emigrates to Israel & her life spent as a Holocaust speaker & educator. I just could not put this book down. Parts are hard to read & may be triggering. It‘s such an important read. 9mo

I absolutely loved this book (and yes even the ending). 5 stars from me. A young woman is found dead & the story is told from the POV of the parents of those who were last seen with her. Great way to keep the mystery going by not doing the teens POV. It was beautifully written with flawed & realistic characters. I may have to go back & read more of his work. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. Will be a “buy” for me when it‘s in paperback

What a great horror-somewhat comedy, lol. Pupkin, the evil puppet, makes Annabelle seem like a sweetheart. I enjoyed the dynamic between Louise and her brother Mark and how it evolved. I‘d be really eager to see this adapted into a mini series or film. Hendrix is becoming a go to read for me after enjoying The Final Girl Support Group. He introduces the ludicrous on the page & makes it believable & suspenseful! Right balance of humor. Really good!

Spare | Prince Harry the Duke of Sussex

Overall a pick. While most of this was interesting, a fair amount of it was kind of boring. It picked up when he met Meghan. Prince William is not shown in a flattering light. It‘s just sad how the Palace was against Meghan from the beginning when she didn‘t do anything. Them just cutting off security really could‘ve put them in danger. I‘m glad things worked out for Harry and they were able to get away. Who knows what the future holds for them.

But aren‘t you doing the same thing, Harry? Releasing a tell-all for money? Although I know some is going to charity. And I‘m enjoying this, but he should be a little more self aware…

MyNamesParadise @BarkingMadRead yeah like I like him and Meghan. They claimed to want a private life but do interviews, their own docu-series and now the memoir. I know they have to keep money coming in somehow since they get nothing from the royal family. I just wonder how they‘ll continue to be in the public eye, you know? 13mo
SamAnne Patti Davis had a thoughtful op-ed in the NYT a month or so ago. She published a tell-all about her parents Ronald and Nancy Reagan when she was much younger. She fully regrets it and is glad she was able to mend fences and be with her father in his decline. I'm not planning on reading this memoir. 13mo

Finished this one last week! The ending is what made it a so-so for me. Other than that I really enjoyed the suspense and buildup as the characters kept being killed one by one. I was surprised by the ending and not in the best way. I will still read books by this author as I have a couple of her other ones. I really enjoyed Daisy as a main character. An overall fun locked room mystery.

MyNamesParadise @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I loved it too, until the end. I mean it was definitely a twist. I just have issues with books that are marketed as a mystery and then the big reveal is dependent on introducing the element of the supernatural. Now I don‘t mind supernatural in general: I love Simone St. James. I just feel like it‘s a cop out. I wish there had been more of a real world twist. It‘s just a pet peeve of mine 🤷🏼‍♀️ 13mo

At 1st I didn‘t understand the lower rating on Goodreads for this one but over time I got it. I liked the book, but it dragged at parts. It‘s definitely more of a literary mystery than a thriller. It‘s about a young woman who comes back to her hometown after college & gets involved in her family‘s private investigating business when one of her colleagues at the cafe she works at is murdered. I‘ll still read the 2nd book when it comes out in April.

I wanted to love it bc it‘s a Reese‘s pick & described as a “can‘t put it down” thriller but I found that not to be the case. IMO it‘s not a typical thriller, which may be the appeal for some. I don‘t really want to say too much bc I don‘t want to give anything away. I‘m curious as to others‘ thoughts on this one! Let me know in the comments!

NikkiKey94 I enjoyed the book but felt the same about the thriller aspect. I found it to be more of a mystery than a thriller. I was definitely let down because I wanted twists and turns. 1y
MyNamesParadise @NikkiKey94 yes, that‘s a good point about it being a mystery!! It did feel more like that! I usually rate books based on how it‘s marketed and what my expectations were for the book, which maybe is something I shouldn‘t do. Lol. 1y
NikkiKey94 @MyNamesParadise it‘s understandable! I felt like it was really hyped up as a thriller so it definitely made a difference. I still enjoyed it though! 1y

I read this for work. It‘s one of the Top 11 Titles for the 2023 One Maryland One Book program. This book chronicles the journey of a mixed immigration status family fractured between the US & Colombia. There are points of view from all 5 of the family members. This is well written & shows the hardships endured by families. There was hardly any foul language & there is a brief rape scene. It‘s a shorter, but powerful read.

I wasn‘t sure what to expect going into this in terms of how it would all come together, but was surprised enough when it was revealed. This has some twists in it & shows how we‘re all dependent on technology & makes us conscious of what we put out there. I would read another book by this author.
