Welcome to Litsy!

Yikes! This book was amazing! It was very mysterious, scary, and difficult to expect what was coming next. I noticed myself being seriously creeped out while reading at night. I also couldn't put the book down.

This was one of those books where you want to savor every second but also can't put down. Please let me know if you have read this book! I need to discuss!!

Unpopular opinion! 🤷🏻‍♀️
💔 To me it didn‘t live up to the hype. This is the first Book by Colleen Hoover I don‘t like. It was entertaining and well written, but there was more mentions of 🍆 than mystery or story development. I still love Colleen, though.❤️‍🩹

I devoured this today! #teamslaughter @Clwojick #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

Incredible, thrilling, yet unbelievably sickening. I read this in less than 8 hours

I read this so quickly. I couldn‘t stop. I had to know what was next! Twisted book but sooooo good, 10/10!

I am starting a new @amazonkindle challenge. I didn‘t even know a new one started and just received my first new bookmark/badge.

Are you a kindle reader? Or do you prefer physical books?

The bonus chapter delivered. This book is absolutely unhinged. You think you‘ve got it and then she spins the whole scenario.
If you‘ve read it, let me know who you believe!

Rainy day in Craig, Colorado so Vance and I treated ourselves to coffee, hot chocolate and new books!

"Some families are lucky enough to never experience a single tragedy. But then there are those families that seem to have tragedies waiting on the back burner. What can go wrong, goes wrong. And then gets worse."

Anyone else snag the Collector‘s Edition that came out today? Will be a reread for me, can‘t wait to see how unhinged the bonus chapter is.

Team Letter or Team Manuscript?

I picked this one up because my cousin won't let her 16 year-old daughter read it. I teach her daughter 11th grade English next semester. So I had to find out for myself. I couldn't put it down, and I'm not sure what I think about high school students reading it. Have you read it? Opinions?

I‘ve read earlier novels written by Colleen Hoover and this one moves away from that. It‘s far darker, edgy, and as you read you start really thinking about how messed up someone can be. There is a lack of character development and more so lack of relationship development, but it does make you want to continue to read to find out what happens. I wasn‘t impressed with the end, it almost tried too hard for the twist. Still entertaining.

Definitely my favorite of hers so far.

This book OH MY GOD just blew my mind! It was captivating from the start, it was funny, it was eerie, it was disturbing, it will definitely take a while to sink in everything that I read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Daaang. I read this in print a few years ago, and all I could vividly recall were the teeth marks and a couple other details that are too spoiler-ish to mention. A recent IRL #bookclub selection, I #reread on audio. Holy hell. I didn‘t remember it being SO open-door graphic. I still enjoyed the wild story, but kept reiterating to my #CoHo noob friends that her other books are NOT like this. Majority of book club were not fans. 🙈

Amazing ! As always . She‘s fantastic

5 stars. Best book I‘ve read in years. Psychological thriller with romance

Continuing on the Hoover train

45/22- Well I didn‘t know what to expect from this audible freebie but it wasn‘t quite that! Still thinking about the ending and would love to speak to the author about some of the plot points. Suspenseful, raunchy, somewhat bookish. I listened to it on 2 days. So overall, a hit!

What a wild ride this book was! It was an excellent quick read. Thoroughly enjoyed it. this was a great romance thriller, more thriller then romance it felt.like. But the book used relationships in the story to move the story forward. Really excellent.

I did not get all the hype about this book or the author.. but I do now! Holy cow Colleen Hoover is a master at her craft. I am loving this book so far. I'll be interested to read her other book. #CoHoFan

I read this on an overnight flight to Europe…it was distracting with how good it was! Lots of sex, lots of intrigue. I didn‘t LOVE the end, but it was a real page turner!
⭐️: 4/5

#thoughtfulthursday

1. I‘ve rated 6 books his summer with 5-stars! The tagged was the first of them. 📚
2. I‘m beyond ready for autumn! 🍁
3. Went to LA in June…found Keanu‘s star 5 minutes after hitting the Walk of Fame, and took a selfie on the Ferris wheel on the Santa Monica Pier. July 4th weekend me and my 13 y/o saw 5 Seconds of Summer in concert, so this is Luke Hemmings in all his glory…we were so close to him! ⭐️

Well, that book messed with my soul! Great psychological thriller!

There is too much to say about this book without giving any spoilers - I‘ll just say that I see what all the hype is about! It‘s not my typical go-to type of book because I‘m very sensitive to this kind of suspense, so I read it on vacation knowing I could finish it quickly…and read it in two days!

Holy Mother of Pearl! I just finished Verity! Wow! Just wow! @Yensy.lopez @Kimber.Kleinert what do y‘all believe really happened?!?

This was free in the Audible Plus catalog. I didn't know anything about the book or author when I started it, but it turned out to be a fast paced mystery/thriller. Not the best I read, but just what I was in the mood for!

I feel like most people either loved or hated this book. I enjoyed it, but it definitely won't be among my top picks for the year or a book I actively recommend. The plot was dark and twisty and fresh but I disliked all the characters (perhaps the author's intentions?) and I felt like the unreliable narrator was an unnecessary crutch, but my biggest complaint is that all the unnecessary sex slowed the pacing down.

This was an engaging page-turner, but a little too much sex (am I prude? I might be a prude 😳😂) and very heavy handed on the ending. She spells it out like she doesn't trust her readers to pick up on (very obvious) ambiguity.

It was pretty good!

So glad this hold came in - except for the gratuitous sex info (after the first few times the reader gets the point - Jeremy rocks it but if you like steamy well written this is 👍) - the story was very good, twists and turns, and I liked the “not neat“ ending. Each character was unreliable -

Make a great day everyone 🙂

I wish CH would write more thrillers because I finished this in one sitting. Just when you think you know where the story is going, you get a curveball thrown at you. And usually I don‘t like when the ending is left wide open for interpretation, but it works so well here. I am definitely team manuscript #iykyk

I just finished this and I‘m honestly not sure how I feel about it. It‘s a compelling thriller but such incredibly dark subject matter. I thought I was getting a thriller/romance novel. It turned into more of a horror story. Honestly, the premise is so ridiculous, it‘s not worth the time.

Just when you make your goals, sum up your month - your library hold comes in 😂

So - will try to finish tagged and Stoner for #20in4, may get a #BookSpinBingo and may complete both of my goals for #BFC2022 -

No matter what happens - grateful these are my challenges today 🙂

Make a great day everyone 🌞

I couldn't put it down!

Could not get enough of this book. Was hard to put down, even after I finished. Wanted to immediately read it again!

I read it in almost one sitting. The picture painted in the story was so impressive.

This was a pretty good book, but in my opinion it was a bit mild for a thriller… there were quite a few intimate scenes, but I can‘t blame that as it‘s a book written by Colleen Hoover. Speaking of, Hoover is quite an amazing writer, because the writing was brilliant. Overall, I suppose I would give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5

I‘m still processing this one.

What are your book recommendations similar to Alice Feeney, Sarah Pekkanen & Greer Hendricks, and Lisa Jewel books? Thank you!!

🖤🤍🖤

Completely worth the hype. Gripped from the very first line and couldn‘t put it down. Twisty and eerie and with an ending that just stuns you and makes you question everything you thought you knew about the book.

The water is getting cooler. Won‘t be many more days this year of floaty reading. 😞
