Wow, I really disliked this book. I predicted almost every twist. The dialogue was early ‘90s made-for-tv-movie bad. The sex scenes were so cringy. I would have bailed on it if I hadn‘t been reading it as part of a read along.

There was a difference. That difference became evident the moment you realized that you no longer liked being alone as well as you liked being with someone else. That's when aloneness turned to loneliness.

What a beautiful (gloomy) reading day!

Happy Wednesday and happy reading! ☺️

tokorowilliamwallace Currently going through this as well, though it's not a regular genre for me to read. So far, I like parts of it (such as the author's excerpts of his story), but other parts have been triggering, such as the author's behavior of 'testing' our female protagonist... 3y
all_4_kb @tokorowilliamwallace I really like it so far but I‘m only 50 pages in so far…. 3y
tokorowilliamwallace @kbibliophilific I'm 200-something in. I hope it doesn't affect you like it did me. I almost DNF'd it. It's been happening a lot with recent books, 4 I've started since November or December. I guess my sensibilities are more sensitive now. 🤷 3y
all_4_kb @tokorowilliamwallace nope it won‘t affect my thoughts … always keep open mind with books - so many I‘ve seen polar opposite reviews and I ended up feeling one way or the other. I love Sandra Brown though so I‘m pretty sure I‘ll like it (edited) 3y

This book was amazing. I loved how it ended but it isn't what you would expect!

I am really digging this book. I have only read a couple by this author but I have enjoyed what I read so far. I am branching out and trying different authors in the murder mystery genre. I never read the same author twice in a row...I think it's monotonous to do so and by reading different authors you don't get sick of them as quickly (or at all). I always have two books going at once. One on my Kindle and ones a paperback!

LibrarianRyan Love this book. It's my favorite by Brown. 3y
bookworm92 @LibrarianRyan I just finished it. It was amazing! 3y

Does anyone else get green with envy when they see a fellow Litten reading a book or series they love? It's not like I couldn't stop what I'm reading and also go read that... haha!

annkuch13 Omg yes! 8y
Theresa My envy isn't necessarily with books I love, it's with people reading books that I have on my TBR but haven't gotten to yet. I want to read all of my books right now!!! 😜 8y

Weaponxgirl @Theresa all the time! Then if I'm reading too many books at once and not finishing any one of them quick enough for my liking I get jealous of how others have finished so many books already 8y
Smangela @Weaponxgirl haha! Yes!!! @Leniverse @Daisydo @Bookzombie @Theresa @annkuch13 @OrangeMooseReads guys I could share this sentiment with any one of my closest friends and they'd be like "yea... okay Ange..." but here? I love that so many people have the same bookish feelings!! ❤❤ 8y

This was a really fun read! A thriller with plenty of style and tension. The head of a revered NYC publishing house heads down to Georgia to meet with a reclusive & mysterious manuscript submitter with a heck of a story; meanwhile, her husband has devious plans for the company. I was glued to this, staying up way past my bedtime a couple nights. My first SB foray has me wanting more! #PairWith: Sweet Carolina sweet tea vodka, on the rocks.

BookishMarginalia And this was the book you got in a Christmas book swap, right? Sweet! 8y

I know Mrs Brown is considered "commercial" but this book is simply amazing. The suspense is simmering constantly in each page, the twists keep coming in every chapter, the characters well fleshed out and likable.

The story starts with an excerpt of a book. Risky choice but flawlessly executed. It starts with a reclusive author in a remote island near Georgia.

AnnieReads My philosophy on reading: read what makes you happy. :) 8y
Magdawrites @AnnieReads couldn't agree more. I am a totally not a book snob! Every book has its purpose and some are simply entertainment! 8y
MrBook You rock @MysteryAuthor !!! 😊👍🏻 8y
