So, I ended up back in the hospital for the remainder of January, but now I‘m home again and have been for a week; I think I‘ve finally gotten past the “acute phase,” as the doc called it. Now, I‘m diving headlong into my TBR stacks and making up for the lost month. I am LOVING this twisty, dark thriller, though it‘s also SO unsettling. #sleeptight #jhmarkert #thriller #horror
Such a weird book! Evan Tanner hears about some gold hidden from the Nazis in Turkey. So he plans to go find it. He uses contacts from strange groups he's been a member of to manage his quest. Nothing, of course, goes as planned. Instead he's involved in revolutions and murders and secret plans. How will he manage to survive?
1. Still can't believe I got a tattoo about two and a half weeks ago! 😳
2. A friend gifted me the dragon when she heard I got the dragonfly tattoo and that I was also reading Fourth Wing
3. + 4. For sure, I'm getting a betta fish tattoo on my left thigh by the end of the year. Unsure about the stylized dragonfly tattoo
5. I'm so glad I have bookish friends here at Litsy and at the IRL Book Circle at the library

On way to crime book festival with @squirrelbrain . I‘m looking forward to MW Craven and Michael Wood and hearing some authors new to me.
pickRead this with my brunch gang. It was pretty good, didn‘t blow me away, but the suspense kept me reading. There weren‘t any big shocking twists, it was more of a slow burn, little by little revealing more pieces of the puzzle, which I quite liked. Most of the book is from the MC‘s perspective, but some chapters are written from the psychiatrists perspective in a weird, pseudoscientific passive voice, an affectation that quickly grew tiresome. 3⭐️
pickQuickly working through her whole catalogue and loving it 🫶🏼
Frans Balder had always thought of himself as a lousy father.

Safe to say I'll never think about that phrase the same way again. Probably a lot of new parents already understood that nuance! 😅
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

pickI heard about this book a lot but avoided it for a long time for fear that it was more “extreme horror” that leaned on gore and disgust, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it didn‘t. There is still plenty of gore but it‘s presented in a way that didn‘t seem gratuitous to me. It‘s absolutely still a horrific story because it feels 100% plausible.
