Since I don't even have enough time to read my current TBR stack, I naturally needed to add more to the stack 😂 pretty excited about these since I skipped the last two months with nothing that really spiked my interest. Maybe I'll read them by the end of the year... #lifeofagradstudent #graduatestudent #futuretherapist

For #readingjanuary, one I forgot to list was to actually do a monthly photo challenge and do every day on it. I always start it and then never remember to do it daily so I have yet to finish one of these. But here are my #bookishresolutions @RealLifeReading Side note: I actually met my Goodreads goal last year, then I changed it and missed it by about 10 so this year I hope to actually reach the goal!

I Let You Go | Clare Mackintosh
Pickpick

The quote on the back of this book nailed it. "The twist is killer"... the first big twist was about halfway through and I couldn't put it down after that. It was easy reading and while I didn't understand a lot of the police terms because I'm an American and this takes place in Britain, but it wasn't enough to drag my attention away. Definitely recommend !!! ????

Suzze The twists made thus book. I used to avoid British books (never sure why) but just this year I am gravitating towards them! 7y
LiteraryinLawrence That's good to know! 7y

For today's #photoadaynov.. #readinginbed is quite possibly my favorite. I was amazed at how many people said they don't or rarely read in bed.. I love it! It's where I feel safest, warmest and most comfortable and usually have my pups in bed with me just adding to my comfort and feelings of safety..and this bookmark truly defines my struggle with every book that I'm sure ALL of you suffer from as well!

This was my first book by this author and literally the only book I got to this month. With one class wrapping up and diving into the next and interviewing for my final field placement, things have just been crazy. But I really enjoyed this thriller. I was disappointed that I figured out who did it but still enjoyed the ride very much and would definitely recommend it to those who love psychological thrillers or a good mystery.

Holy twists batman!! I am always making predictions as I'm reading and am utterly disappointed when I am right most of the time.

Pretty Girls: A Novel | Karin Slaughter
Pickpick

This book was very twisty and full of so much conflict that was so layered that I was just floored. Karin Slaughter's mind works in a way mine never could, and I will admit that this book does describe some very graphic stuff, but it is thrilling, gripping and despite making my stomach turn a bit was really fantastic. I am fascinated at how Slaughter creates such worlds and characters. Definite pick for lovers of psychological thrillers !!

This book had some very confusing moments for me when it got into describing something very difficult to grasp and understand. Just trust that what the author says is true and makes sense and keep going lol. I hit a bit of a stalemate about halfway through but I'm glad I got through it. The premise is so unique and I loved that I couldn't guess what was coming next. Definitely recommend.

I wanted to like this so badly. London, WWII, twelve year old Anna is orphaned to the war and sent to live with her uncle who lives at the Tower of London.. I will read anything set during WWII, but unfortunately this book was stale. There was no clear plot and the conflict within it between the characters wasn't really there. Unfortunately I can't recommend this to anyone.
