pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
For a random pick and my first book on #NetGalley this book was surprisingly good. It was a quick read, but not at all skimpy on the suspense and intrigue. It went back and forth in time with each chapter building on the last and had a very unexpected ending. While I‘m not a fan of IRL politics, I do love a good #politicalthriller.
pickI love Stacey Abrams (her politics, her in general), I do not love political thrillers, but this was really a rollercoaster of a read with a plucky MC, relatable supporting cast & villains that have dimension (mostly). The clues weren‘t set up in a way that someone who doesn‘t know about chess or DC geography could figure out, &in the middle there started to me a plethora of new faces &info that got unwieldy. But all in all it was very good
bailedIs there a Library Service division of the Deep State? I don't know how else to account for this being their book of the month.
I gave it the 50-pages test. Can't. Won't. Nope!
I wasn't thrilled: I was bored.
Maybe pick this up if you fancy an easy game of bad-writing bingo.

I really didn't want to go to book group today (feel more like hiding in my room and not talking to anyone for the rest of the year). But... my books were due back and library fines make me feel like a criminal. 🤣 So, off I went, like a dutiful citizen.
Tagged is next month's book. The Raynor Winn just leapt into my arms.
pickThere‘s something about fictional political/legal thrillers by authors whose day jobs deal in political/legal reality that I just can‘t quit. Some are written like a car chase and others a chess match. This was the latter, and even though a few of the moves (genetic bioengineering) were complicated, I liked Stacy‘s players and the game. …And just before this post I realized book 2 in the series is available.
Hey #TeamCryptKeepers. I thought I would add a bingo for #Scarathlon since most of our team seems to like Thrillers, and i love bingo. Give yourself points for each line 20pts. The whole board 100pts. @StayCurious @Clwojick Please show your post with book read and bi go board with the spots for that book.

pickNow for something completely different. I won‘t lie, I love the occasional cheesy political thriller. I once watched a whole season of 24 in a weekend, and I want that vibe in my thriller reading please. This mostly didn‘t disappoint; a page-turningly tense story with current terrorist and world issues themes and the like. I‘ve never read Louise Penny and can‘t say I loved the writing enough to read more, but overall all this was good fun (👇)
Reading second of Stacy Abrams books staring Supreme Court clerk Avery Keene, and enjoying it. Loved "When Justice Sleeps" so jumped right in on this one, also our bookclub choice for August selected by our friend and bookclub member Vicki.
Another exciting Avery Keene thriller. Keep them coming Stacey!!
