January's wrap-up. I tried to catch up on my BOTM books and am now in the middle of my annual comfort reread of Twilight. Also finished my first #AuldLangSpine and am halfway through my 2nd one.
so-soI‘ve read and liked this author before, but this one isn‘t at good. There are too many clunky attempts at tension-building early on and the end gets so twisted up it‘s just silly. I did keep turning the pages, though.
pickI really enjoyed this thriller. There were a lot of twists and turns as the story progressed. I also enjoyed the atmosphere Marshall created along with the pacing. Themes of family, loyalty, and trust were explored. Marshall stands on her own long side Alice Feeney, Lucy Foley, and Ruth Ware. I had an ALC from NetGalley. The book comes out Feb. 4. 5 stars
pickI‘ve loved Marshall‘s adult thrillers, & was all the more excited to see this as a January #BOTM pick! It‘s a solidly performed #audiobook that had me doing extra laundry & chores to quickly finish. Adopted at a young age, Theo‘s Before life is a mystery only hinted at in her nightmares but when her fiancé takes her to the family‘s isolated mountain estate, she starts to feel like she has been there before… a gripping listen with plenty of twists!
pickMatching my latest read to the weather. 🥶❄️🎧📚4 🌟
Starting this one! Heard a lot of good reviews, so hoping it‘ll live up to them.😆☕️📖

Looking for a job this new year? I saw on LinkedIn this morning that Book of the Month is hiring for a freelance crime fiction reader. Thought it might be up the alley of some of the people here. More info: https://bookofthemonth.applytojob.com/apply/job_20241223170632_IGGO5NBCWXCAKBNV
My January #BOTM pick. My TBR is out of control, so I limited myself to just one pick (and their special volume) for now, though I marked three other ones to be read. This author is an always pick for me. What did you pick?
Had to convince myself to keep my #BOTM box to two choices for January. I‘m definitely going to pick up a few others on audio or through Libby! Lots of great choices to kick off 2025! 🥳
Opened the mystery package!! How cute! I am one of the winners of the Chilled to the End Prize Packs from Flatiron Books! I think this should have had a hot chocolate cup included too - but it‘s still super cute and I am really excited to read this!
