Casey and I agree THE NIGHT GUEST is some damned good creepy shit. I started it before bed last night (which, yeah, was a CHOICE), read until I was too tired to carry on, and finished it over breakfast this morning.

BarbaraBB I loved that book and love your 🐶 2w

BarbaraBB @DebinHawaii It‘s short. I hope you‘ll get to it 3w
BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes both are good and I think most would prefer Blue Sisters but I prefer The Night Guest. Interesting to learn what you‘ll think of both. 3w
Suet624 Wow. Night Guest just snuck right in there as the winner! 3w
BarbaraBB @Suet624 It‘s short and refreshingly different from my usual reads! 3w

Iōunn‘s story pulled me in from the first page and didn‘t let go until I finished it some hours later.

Iōunn wakes up exhausted every morning. She has no idea what causes this until her fancy new pedometer watch reveals that she‘s walking over forty thousand steps at night. From there things start spiraling in her life which seems so ordinary but isn‘t.

I am not sure about the ending but I loved this contemporary and atmospheric creepy story.

Megabooks 💯💯💯 agree! Glad you loved it, too. Very thought-provoking. 3w
jhod Sounds great and wonderful scenery! 3w

BarbaraBB @julesG I am going to add it to my #Top24of24 too! (edited) 3w
BarbaraBB @jhod @sarahbarnes @Hooked_on_books It‘s refreshingly different from the books I‘ve been reading lately. The setting in Iceland adds to that probably! 3w

I forgot to post a picture of my #jolabokaflodswap box when I sent this out last week. It traveled up the east coast and should be arriving today. Enjoy!

Holy shirtballs 😱 😱 😱

I read this in one sitting. The growing tension and pacing are so well crafted. Frustration at the treatment of women by the medical establishment turns into creeping unease as you learn more and more (but never everything) about what is happening. So so good.

sarahbarnes This sounds really good. Stacking! 2mo

I see this book reviewed here and noticed that either I didn't review it here or my review never "aired" back in September.

Anyway, I absolutely loved it. The translation and narration by Mary Robinette-Kowal are excellent.

It's creepy and atmospheric and I still wonder what the end was about.

Megabooks I agree. This was v good! 2mo
