An excellent autofictional novel written in a first person about a 20-something girl who studies literature in Montréal and earns money working as an escort girl.

Roadwork | Richard Bachman

so-so

In some ways, this story feels very dated; however, the plot could easily be ripped from today's headlines. Angry man suffering mental health issues begins amassing guns, ammunition and explosives with a plan to use them--all to prove a point. This was certainly not a great novel, but I did find it incredibly frightening because there are so many incidents like this happening all over the US right now. 😡🖕💣💥🧨 #stephenking #pseudonym #bachman

The Cuckoo's Calling | Robert Galbraith

so-so

Wow. The first half was really tedious, but I‘m glad I powered through, because I did end up somewhat enjoying myself by the end. I‘m also glad it‘s over, I was ready for this book to end 100 pages before it did.

I like it enough to read the next book in the series, but not right away.

#makemereadit Book 2! Also #pop18 #pseudonym and #MountTBR

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego So jealous of that funko. I must find one. 6y

alisiakae @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego We found it recently at GameStop. I can tell by your Litsy name you‘re a fan. 😃😃 6y

AnneCecilie I think that this series improve by every new book. But I could never have read book two without having read book one. 6y

alisiakae @AnneCecilie I was hoping that would be the case! I didn‘t dislike it, and I do want to read the next one (and watch the TV adaptation!) 6y

AnneCecilie @4thhouseontheleft I really want to see the adaptation too. Hope it comes to a Norwegian TV channel 6y

Mdargusch I totally agree with you! 6y

Ajessgirl It took me three tries to get into the first one, but now I like the series and can‘t wait for the fourth installment! I love the detective and Robyn as characters, though the gore in the second and third books was a bit much for me. 6y
