Welcome to Litsy!

It is one hour before Camilla‘s life changes, though she doesn‘t know it.

#FirstLineFriday

Starting this one today!

This is a must-read. If I could have I read it in one sitting. It is a rollercoaster ride that kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

The start to my 3 day weekend included starting this book.

#botm

I didn‘t know what to expect from this book, but I really, really liked it. It reads quickly and is very engaging. Family, love, loyalty, murder, intrigue, shadowy figures, obfuscation. Part way toward the end, I started figuring some things out, but that just added to my reading enjoyment. And there‘s a happy ending. I loved that. This is a terrific book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is my #BOTM read for February. It‘s “an addictive thriller about a new mother‘s world upended when her husband commits a terrifying crime. How well does she truly know the man she loves? And what danger does she face if her entire life has been built on a lie?”

#BOTM is in!!

📚📚📚

My #BOTM box arrived today! I don‘t know when I‘ll get to these, but I like that they‘re here waiting for me 😂

My Feb #BOTM picks. I‘m excited about all three of them and it‘s gonna be hard to pick what to read first…

Rejoining #BOTM might be trouble for me. 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

Two of the picks were already on my TBR and ‘The First Ladies‘ sounded so interesting.

My February #BOTM pick. My birthday month is next month so I'll splurge then. What did you pick?

I've been wanting to try this author, and this book was a great introduction. The premise was interesting and executed nicely although a bit slow in the middle. The MC was an introverted book nerd whose husband very unexpectedly took 3 people hostage. POV bounced between MC and the hostage negotiator. This was a fun, easily recommendable book.

Thank you to William Morrow & NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I‘m very excited for my #Auldlangspine list from @LiteraryinPA !!! ♥️🎊 The Dutch House is one of my fave books ever! I also adored red white royal blue and lady tan‘s circle of women! I‘ve read a psalm for the well built and first lie wins also. I‘m excited about the tagged book! I read another by this author and loved it! Also excited for Run by Anne Patchett and Winterhouse by Ben Guterson. Great match @monalyisha We have such similar tastes!♥️

I am officially hooked on Gillian McAllister‘s writing. As my second book by her, this kept me glued to the pages and trying (and failing) to guess all of the twists and figure out exactly what the truth was. I think the synopsis gives just enough to whet your appetite, but it is just a nibble of what the story fleshes out to be.

My app hasn't been working for the last week and I'm not sure why, but I don't want to wait longer to review this ARC. It was SO good! Anyone who liked Wrong Place, Wrong Time should DEFINITELY stack this for when it releases in February. It's a very clever thriller with an unusual premise, about a nice husband/father who, out of the blue, holds people hostage and then disappears. Why?? You'll see!
