pickOoooh, really good! This was a big cut above your average thriller. Things are not what they seem and I was completely absorbed in figuring out the truth about this small group of neighbors. I‘ve read a few books by Lisa Jewell but this is my new favorite!
And for my watch list: so many!! I want to get as many of these as possible. I‘ll also be relistening to The Magnus Archives because it is incredible. #scarathlon #scarathlon2023 #creepinitreal
pickA typical suburban area in Bristol. Home to doctors and teachers. Look closer behind the doors and it is not all that it seems. A street full of secrets ready to spill out. Focusing on Tom, the headteacher and his family and their neighbours.
This was such a clever play on what people see and how things can be taken out of context. The theme of being watched makes the book unputdownable. This kept me guessing right to the end.

What are you reading? 😊
pickThe story opens with a murder - the reader does not know who has been murdered or who the murderer is - I enjoyed this story - it was a fast read (since I really enjoyed it) and a lot of twists and turns - about 3/4 of the way in I figured out what was going on , or so I thought - only for another twist to appear!
#BookSpinBingo first book for July
Make a great day everyone - 🙂
pickA shocking twisted ending….finished it and was sad.
pickThis TOTALLY made up for the dud of my last book. Full of intense, creepy vibes and cleverly intertwined, yet unexpected plot movement. Revelations unfold and pieces come together, right up until the last page.
pickI was in the mood for an interesting mystery and this scratched that itch!
so-soAnother kind of "meh" read for me. I enjoyed the shifting perspectives and the play on how each person is perceiving (and often misinterpreting) events.
But also, this holiday season has been pretty crappy for me and that may have clouded my experience. My sweet Nana unexpectedly passed away on Christmas morning so to say that it's been rough is an understatement. I'm glad that I was home to be with family, and grateful to books for their solace.
@Tattooedteacher your LMPBC book arrived! #LMPBC round 13 @suvata
@slategreyskies @Bookwormjillk
so-soHoping it ends up being a good pick for the rest of you. I wasn‘t totally into it and was disappointed bc I‘ve heard a lot about Lisa Jewell. Eager to see what you guys think. #lmpbc

Here are a few options for my pick. Do you have any thoughts on these? Thrillers and a historical fiction. Lmk your thoughts.
so-soI'm a sucker for suspense so of course I liked this but lots of questions about character development when reading. I did appreciate that I didn't know who the "bad guy" was until the end, as she definitely steers you off course throughout the story.

pickReally like her books! This is another good one. Great ending. Her characters are similar from book to book so i wonder if she takes some from her real life.
pickReally getting hooked on Lisa Jewell books. Very fitting title for Freddie, a reclusive teenager who take lot of photos of people he‘s spying on in his posh English neighborhood. His father is the beloved headmaster of a school and it seems like every other girl, woman either has a crush on him or thinks he‘s creepy. Old wounds from childhood deter and never heal
so-so• Kindle e-book • Scribd audiobook
This is the kind of book in which the people you like in the beginning are the people you hate at the end, and vice versa.
pickRipped through this one in about 5 days. Really enjoyed it and didn't really know who had done what or really what was truly done. I like a book that can plausibly set up multiple people and I loved that the one watching was in fact not just one.
panI am not a fan of Lisa Jewell. This book has been on my shelf & needed read. I did try to like this book but I think the quotes that its 'twists' are unpredictable make me wonder if reviewers read the same book that I did. I really do not have anything positive to say about this book other than I think the cover art is pretty. This was ⭐⭐ read for me. I hate to dissuade anyone else from reading it but there are way better thrillers out there.
I'm just going to say it... I don't get why people think Lisa Jewell is such a great author. This book makes me want to rip my eyelids off. If it hadn't been on my shelf, there is no way I would have read it. Total slog. Swearing her off forever.
pickFinally done. Took a few days. Excellent. Always a great plot twist! 🤗🤓
I had to look back on my Litsy post's to see when I got this.... over 2 years ago!
Time to start it now!🤓🥸
pickLoved this! This is my second Lisa Jewel read and I‘m officially a fan. Maybe this is converting me in to a mystery fan?
This was also my #bookspin book for December and on my TBR for #wintergames2020 #teamreadnosedreindeer

pickPsychological thrillers seem to be the only thing keeping my attention right now.
At first the story was hard to get into because there are jilt i please POVs. Normally that doesn‘t bother me but the chapters were really short so switching from one POV to POV so fast took awhile to get into that characters head. Other than that I really enjoyed this book. Usually I can guess the twist and I didn‘t! So win!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickThis was an okayish book. It was a good mystery and I did find myself enjoying some parts of it, but that's it, it was just okay. The ending was predictable for a mystery and it was just alright. 3.8/5 stars
Here is my #bookspinbingo board for December! Hoping to have a much bette reading month than November.
I think pairing this with #wintergames2020 will keep me extra motivated #teamreadnosedreindeer
pickSo another just okay read. Some parts reminded me of Big Little Lies, but 1. Found BLL to be better and 2. Since I already read BLL I didn't enjoy reading another one kind of just like it you know? 🤷♀️
Our book club chose this one, and most have already read it and really liked it. I've just started so im hoping for the same good experience!
pickMy first book by this author and thought it was pretty good. #TeamSlaughter @Clwojick 16 pts
#bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks
2. Psychological thriller, I guess :)
3. Lee Child's, Stephen King‘s, Tom Clancy's and etc., etc. :D

pickI'm pretty good at figuring out the who's and why's when it comes to mysteries and thrillers. But with Lisa's books there's always, always that one thing that I miss and the pure shock when I read it just blows my mind.
I love when authors take me by surprise like this, I love when I'm not right about the plot twist. And Lisa gives me this satisfaction every time.

pickSuspenseful, intriguing, well-plotted. Lots of twists and turns, so much going on on beyond surface. And that ending!
I've been obsessively checking Litsy the whole day for this post, and when it arrived I found myself to busy to do anything about it. 😅
But here's my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin for October
