This book could‘ve been a little bit shorter, but overall, it‘s a good book. It‘s dark but hope shines through at the end. Whitaker deals with the theme of how what happens to someone in the past can impact not only them but those around them far into the future.

Suet624 I really like Whitaker‘s books. 3d
KathyWheeler @Suet624 This is the first one I‘ve read. 3d
KathyWheeler @Suet624 I‘ll check it out. Thanks! 3d

My leg hates me — same leg as my knee but this time it‘s my thigh. No idea what I did, but it‘s too painful to walk on or stand very long at all. So here‘s my reads for #weekendreads. I‘ll probably only finish The Serviceberry since it‘s short. Maybe All the Colors of the Dark. The others are: How the White Trash Zombie Got Her Groove Back, The Cloister Walk, and Mina‘s Matchbox.

Suet624 I‘m sorry to hear your leg hurts. I hope things improve for you soon. 💕 6d

The temperature got up in the 40s today; I walked with my jacket open for a good portion of my walk. That‘s a Mardi Gras snowman in the pic. 😊 While I like this book, I can‘t figure out why I still have over 4 hours left. What‘s left to tell that would take that long? #audiowalk

Today is the 1st meeting of a new book club I‘m hosting at our library. We will discuss our “most memorable” thrillers/mysteries. I put this list together, but I know I‘m leaving out so many—plus I‘m seeking recommendations for selections for our upcoming discussions.

I‘m sharing my #top10thrillers here to get started. I‘ve found so many of these types to be forgettable. Which titles have stood out to you over time? Tag me if you make a post!

CBee Love so many of your choices! I‘m going to have a think 🤔 1w
tpixie Wrong Place Wrong Time- What an interesting concept! Another great of hers 1w
BkClubCare Gone Girl is one that has been memorable for me. 1w

AlaMich I don‘t read a ton of thrillers but I thought this one was great! 1w
StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego The Night Swim and Razorblade Tears are excellent. I love 1w
Chelsea.Poole @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego yes!! No Exit is perfect for the winter chills. I liked that too and totally forgot about it. 1w
Chelsea.Poole @CBee I know I‘ll appreciate your selections! 1w
Chelsea.Poole @tpixie agreed! That one really got me in the mom-heart. I have been curious about her follow up, so I‘m glad to see it has your approval. 1w
Chelsea.Poole @BkClubCare right!? It‘s most memorable for me as well, that‘s why I tagged it. I still remember reading it on a road trip with my husband (before we were married) and just COULDNT put it down. (edited) 1w
Chelsea.Poole @AlaMich oh thanks! I recognize that cover after looked up Bullet Train. Sounds propulsive! 1w
BkClubCare @Chelsea.Poole Right! And truly Behind Her Eyes was wild. Never saw it coming. 1w
BarbaraBB I am thinking of Pet, My Lovely Wife, The Soulmate, Every Last Fear, We Begin at the End and Recursion ! 1w
squirrelbrain Pet is such a great choice! @BarbaraBB I agree with all the SA Cosby fans too. 1w
CBee @BarbaraBB I‘ve got to read Pet! Also agree with you about My Lovely Wife and Every Last Fear. 1w
CBee @Chelsea.Poole The Passengers by John Marrs was excellent (I still think about it). I also loved None of This is True by Lisa Jewell. What Happened to Nina by Dervla McTiernan, For Your Own Good by Samantha Downing (bonkers). Those are just some I read last year. 1w
TheKidUpstairs Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera

BarbaraBB @CBee You surely have to read Pet! And I LOVED The Passengers, it‘s even better than The One I think! 1w
CBee @BarbaraBB agreed! 1w

Boy, was it a bit chilly this morning! When I went to walk, it was technically 40°, which I can do with a light jacket; however, the “feels like” temp was 29°, so I had to layer a bit AND wear a jacket and a hat. The characters in this book are just making me so sad for them all. #audiowalk

I‘m enjoying this book, but I sometimes get a little lost for a minute with the jumps in time. We are supposed to get a lot of rain tomorrow and then snow, so I‘m trying to get in my #audiowalk while I can!

Bookwormjillk Snow? Haven‘t I seen alligators in your pictures before? Good luck with that! 2w
KathyWheeler @Bookwormjillk Yes — you‘ve definitely seen alligators in my pics before. Snow is extremely unusual down here. It was 70° F today but is supposed to get down into the 20s. 2w
Bookwormjillk @KathyWheeler yikes! Those two things shouldn‘t go together! 2w
KathyWheeler @Bookwormjillk no, they should not! 2w

I see why this book had so much buzz and hit a lot of favorites list in 2024. If you pick it up and think it‘s too long for me (almost 600 pages) just know that it‘s a fast read with short chapters and worth every.single.page. It‘s a mystery, but so much more. It‘s really about friendship that turns into family and what you will do to help someone you love.

Tamra I got it on Kindle which isn‘t my favorite format, so this is good to know! 3w
AmyG Such a wonderful book. Agree….it‘s big but I flew through it. 3w
CoverToCoverGirl I just finished this one. I know it‘s early but it‘s going to be my number one pick for 2025. It‘s brilliant! 3w

Stoner | John Williams

Williams quiet strength, resolve and integrity throughout life‘s injustices was both heartbreaking and inspirational. In some ways he reminded me of my ex husband. Never being pulled into the drama and behaving badly.

Favourite quote ⬇️

Rissreadswithcats “In his forty-third year William Stoner learned what others, much younger, had learned before him: that the person one loves at first is not the person one loves at last, and that love is not an end but a process through which one person attempts to know another.” 4w
