Welcome to Litsy!

Not one I'd have picked but am racing through it. I've predicted the baddies, let's see if I'm correct!

Just started this book and it is timely…a school shooting where no one comes to help…for three hours. This book was written in 2020😳

Finished this in a day. I think that says it all!

A gripping thriller which gave me strong feelings throughout it. 3.75/5 Read for #whateveryouwantathon also as a patreon buddy read.

7/10

A good read, kept me reading right to the end. So many twists and different turns. A school is under siege!!!!

Next up on kindle. I love a good thriller and this one has great reviews so I‘m hoping for the best!

As a thriller I enjoyed it this; the story of a school under siege told from the different perspectives of those involved. It‘s timely and plays into issues currently making headlines. One the one hand it‘s a fast paced page turner, on the other you are watching things unfold in awful slow motion. However given the subject, and current times making me feel a bit fragile, I nearly had to stop a couple of times, yet it kept reeling me back in.

EDIT: This was good!
⭐⭐⭐⭐

32% in and this book is intense 🙈

In rural Somerset in the middle of a blizzard, the unthinkable happens: a school is under siege. Told from the point of view of the people at the heart of it.

I found this viscerally terrifying, edge of my seat suspense. It‘s not my usual fare but I could not put it down. It‘s very plot-driven, again not my usual style, and there were so many twists most of which I did not see coming.

Oh man, this one has me on the edge of my seat! I was going to Netflix tonight but the internet‘s down. Looks like I‘ll might be finishing this gripping novel. #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

Finished last night in bed (only reading time I‘m getting!). Not literary genius, a distressing subject as it always will be, but I thought it was a gripping, well told story that certainly had you on the edge of your seat. Maybe a bit of a neat ending but overall I thought a good read for a tired brain. 👍🏻

I really enjoyed this book. It is gripping from the start, which jumps right into the action. This is about a school siege set in the UK. The story is told from the teachers, pupils, parents and police! #books

Just received my #wildbookbox package for June and am super excited by both of these. Has anyone read them before? In the parcel we‘re some beautiful book labels too. I‘ll save those for book I want returned to my library.

I went to the library and got 4 books. Here are two of them! Once I finish one of my current reads will begin Three Hours. #tbr

And relax..... The end of another week. It hasn't felt like only a 4 dayer!!

Thanks for the lovely card @squirrelbrain, I treated myself to Wolf Hall this week!

Currently reading the tagged which is stressful - about a school shooting, but at least not in the headlines right now.

The writing is immersive! The suspense, the fears, the cries, the tension, the relief, the sighs... you feel it all.

Stayed up way past bedtime to finish this and oh my goodness, I‘m so glad I did. What a story! Very clever twists, characters who you rooted for and what an ending. This will be on my mind for a long time.

I thought this was an okay read. I kind of liked it overall but I didn‘t really connect with any of the characters.

Thanks to NetGalley & publishers, Penguin Books / Viking, for the opportunity to read an ARC. #NetGalley

Wow. What a book to start the new year. I'll call it 'accessible' rather than easy, because there is nothing easy about terrorism aimed at schools.... But at the heart, this is a book all about love. How it turns children into warriors, the everyday person into a hero. How the lack of feeling it can all too easily create a monster. Deeply moving and tense. I loved Macbeth being woven all the way through, Wonderful and disturbing in equal measure.

Tea and an ARC in the sunshine. ❤️

I‘m not sure if I‘m the target audience for this really. It reads like YA book (it‘s all very dramatic!!!!!) I would have loved this when I was younger. Set during a high school shooting/hostage situation, told from different characters perspectives. It‘s tense and full of suspense but didn‘t really hit the mark for me. 🤷‍♀️

I‘m looking forward to jumping in to this tonight...the book and the bed! 🛌 📖 😊

Oh this is exciting...my first ever Advanced Reader Copy from Penguin! 😯 👏
