pickFanfuckingtastic, as Fats would say.
Goldman wrote the Princess Bride, Butch Cassidy etc, Marathon Man, as well as the screenplays for All the President‘s Men and Misery and so much more. Clearly, he was a talented SOB. Magic hooked me from the get go and it was easy to tear through it on my two snow days. It follows the crack up of a young magician on the cusp of success. Perfect dialogue, compellingly told. I also love the movie.
pickThe last couple I‘ve read in this series have definitely been the weakest- but back with a bang with this one. Great plot/twists and turns and a right woah at the end I wasn‘t expecting!

pickAnother of my #oldlangspine2025 selections from @BennettBookworm this time one I least had on my kindle - honestly @monalyisha is so good at the pairing! I really enjoyed this swisty take on a reliable / unreliable narrator and stayed up far too late last night to finish it. If I had any complaint it finished quite abruptly. A note - set across the southern US states I loved the sense of place and clear love the author wrote with

Idk how/why I read as much as I did of this (182 pages)🤦🏻♀️😬 A train🚂wreck that just wouldn‘t💥. Nothing in it is believable & it all feels very superficial.
I won this ARC in a 2019 GR giveaway.
pickJ.T. Ellison never ceases to amaze me. This was predictable, yet she still throws you curves. The ending was 🤯🤯!
Well, this was yet another tough decision for which October read would be one of my #12BooksOf2024! But, I had to ultimately go with the scariest and the most tense (a very close runner-up was SOMEONE IN THE ATTIC which had me just checking on our own attic before taking my review picture!🤣) which was this listen. Not only did it scare me, but my gasping out loud while walking our dog passed along the scares to him! So this one even scared him!
