Enjoyable if you‘re a fan of Coben. For me there was a “wow” factor missing from me to make it a “pick”. I didn‘t enjoy the narrations other than Simon. The twists were there and delivered but I‘ve just read too many of this genre to say this was the best.

3.5 stars. I suppose I was underwhelmed by the final reveal. It was a decent paced thriller and would make an intriguing movie. Thought the characters were well-developed. Idk what it is but something is preventing me from giving it a “Pick” rating.

At first this #playaway kept crapping out on me, but I switched the triple A battery & it started working! Yay! I‘m eager to listen to this one!

Time to catch up on the latest Ms. Marvel! Love Kamala Khan. This is a thicker volume than volumes in the past. Enjoying her adventures!

My main issue w/ this book was how it was marketed. The reviews & description made it seem like a page-turning mystery, when really it was literary fiction. I was underwhelmed by the final reveal. Some revelations seemed unnecessary b/c nothing came of them. It was a beautifully written novel. I may not have been so eager to read it had it been marketed properly. Some of the characters relationships were a bit much 4 me & weren‘t fully fleshed out

Thought this was a powerful quote. I‘ve had time off from work recently because of health issues and I find myself relating. It‘s almost like I don‘t know what to do with myself.

Well was reading in my outdoor reading spot, but I could hear my Raina whining from the inside so I brought her outside with me. This means no reading is getting done at the moment...sigh...I got a library due date coming up soon for this one! #dogsoflitsy

Hoping I can finish this before it‘s due back to the library! I‘m enjoying the character development thus far. I‘m eager to learn what the dark family secrets are!

Attention all Littens: you must read this book! It was so good and I didn‘t want to put it down. This helped me with a difficult time I‘ve been having recently and I can‘t recommend this book enough! It makes me want to read Abbi Waxman‘s other novels. Finished reading it, cozy-ing up with my blanket that‘s made to look like a bookshelf. Perfect for the themed of this book!

As someone with generalized anxiety disorder I can totally relate to this feeling. It‘s refreshing to see a character struggling with anxiety in literature.

Reading outside and you can never have too many water bottles during the summer heat! Still loving this book! I got it from the library, but I know this is one I will buy!

Well I‘m back at #ihop and still reading The Bookish Life of Nina Hill. I love this book so much! I don‘t want it to end! It reminds me of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine in terms of readability! (is that a word and if so did I spell it right?)

Currently in #Barnes&Noble and was pleasantly surprised by this table of goodies! I do love tote bags, but already have so many...plus they have their 50% #bookhaul...what to do...what to do...

Got some reading done while waiting for my #breakfast at #ihop. I‘m really enjoying this book! I hope it‘s made into a movie!

Surely I can‘t be the only one who matches the colors of their bookmarks to the colors of the book they‘re currently reading?

If you liked the first Robin Lockwood book, you will like this one too! I really like the narrator Therese Plummer. She ends up on a lot of the books I listen to! This one is intriguing because it has some ripped-from-the-headlines plot points and at times makes you question your view of the justice system and what justice is in certain circumstances. I‘m assuming there will be a third one and I will listen to that one too!

Good, suspenseful read that had me laughing out loud at parts. This would make a good movie. I really enjoyed the main characters. I liked One of Us is Lying better. For some reason I‘m more critical of when the bad guys are revealed. It‘s so hard to make sure it‘s not cheesy. A fun YA title overall!

This is just one of the several books I‘m in the middle of reading! Treating myself to a rather unhealthy lunch but hey cravings lol. This is a really suspenseful read!

I love #playaway devices! They make for great listening during lunch time! And I‘ve really enjoyed both of Jessica Strawser‘s books, so should be a good listen!

This book really is #BigLittleLies meets #ReconstructingAmelia! Makes for a great listen! Characters are well developed and you really are left wondering until the end with what happened to Olivia, although I‘ve read so many of this genre that I figured it out. I will read more from Christina McDonald!

Some cool character moments in this one! Eager for volume 10!

Even though the tv show crashed and burned with a horrible creative decision, glad the graphic novels are still thriving. Love how kirkman still keeps it fresh!

Absolutely loved Eleanor & all of her quirks! I can‘t wait to see who is cast as her in the movie! I‘m so glad the movie is in Reese Witherspoon‘s hands! I read this book during a stay at a local mental hospital & I couldn‘t help but find I had similarities to Eleanor! This will make a fantastic film! After reading this book Eden Etzel is completely fine!

Discussing this in #bookclub tonight!! I read this back in 2008, so hopefully I remember enough for discussion! Haha. Thankfully I stumbled across the chapter at the end with the big twist.

Since the fall of last year, I was in a really bad depressive state, one that led me to a recent stay in an inpatient unit. This book was so accurate and really represented depression. I‘m hesitant to refer to my recent episode in the past tense because I‘m still healing, but I am feeling like myself again & I never thought I would feel that way and it‘s truly scary. Please know if you are suffering, you‘re not alone. ❤️

Definitely a fascinating take on fame from someone who has been through all the stages! Sociological theories are present here as well as her personal experiences. Definitely a stream-of-consciousness read, which if you‘re not use to, it can be a little off-putting at first. Pretty quick read. Despite the writing style, there is still plenty of information to take in!

Omg I LOVED this book! This is the first book I‘ve been so eager to give 5 stars and tell everyone to read in a long time!! You won‘t regret reading this one! I‘m sure a film adaptation would come and it would be a great film! The hype for this book is warranted!

Enjoying some reading before my flight to Tampa to be a bridesmaid in my best friend‘s wedding! I‘m really looking forward to this book because I can relate a lot to Eleanor and I‘m eager to see what I can learn from it. 😊

There was a time when I would‘ve given this a solid 4 stars on #goodreads, but I‘ve read so many of this genre and the villains get sillier with their motives and I can‘t help but role my eyes. Twists, but not a knockout by any means.

Jewell‘s books are reliable for this genre. I‘ve successfully predicted her last two books (including this one.) Jewell does a good job of getting into her characters heads and I felt for Joey. And for Nicola and Tom‘s son (I can‘t remember his name). Interesting as it unfolds with some twists. If you liked past books of hers, you will like this one.

Beginning the #audio on #playaway while eating lunch. I LOVED #CourtneySummers book What Girls Are and am friends with her on a couple platforms. I‘m excited for this one. As an audiobook it‘s like listening to the actual podcast!

1) yes a 7-month-old chihuahua puppy named Raina.
2) might see Isn‘t It Romantic w/ #MoviePass & visit my uncle in a care home and Raina‘s final puppy obedience class!
3) writing (need to get back to it), power walks, playing w/ pup, bowling
4) USA: NYC, New England, San Diego (honestly most the places I want to go are NOT in the US)
5) what do you do when you feel lonely & don‘t have many friends near you?

Thought it was odd that the subtitle to this book was “a novel of obsession” because I‘ve read books where the narrator was a lot more enamored with a person. I don‘t understand how it‘s often portrayed as such brilliant women falling for guys who are so obviously douchebags & full of fake charm. Idk I can see right through that. I was pleased with the twists & turns! And the end result which I won‘t spoil here. I will read Butler‘s next book!

Really enjoyed this book! Really appreciated that there was more to this book than a secret society. There was real depth and nuance to the characters, especially Charlie and Grace. I really liked how it delved into the past and Charlie realizes her family history. Also love #playaway devices! They‘re the best!

Well, this was tough to get through! It took me basically a year of multiple checkouts from the library bc Jennifer Garner is in the movie adaptation & I love her! But dang I would not recommend this book. There are sexual assaults that are glazed over and nothing happens for the vast majority of the book only for so much to happen in the final pages that it feels it comes out of nowhere as opposed to a constant build. Won‘t read another of hers.

Omg the accuracy of this statement! I‘ve never seen a teenager on the CW that looked relateable, on the WB, yes, but not the CW

Oh the things that make me bust out laughing! “Bess doesn‘t have the neural pathways to interpret cold shoulders.” 😂😂😂😂

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this audiobook! I hadn‘t heard of the author before which makes sense bc this was his 1st novel. I found it to be well-written. However, there were a couple cliche tropes/plot points that I thought were beneath the quality presented earlier in the book. Looking forward to his second book out this summer!

I absolutely love this series! As bizarre and eccentric as it is, it‘s a must-read graphic novel series. Interesting new reveals & new characters. I don‘t want to give away anything, but I really enjoyed this one and ends in a way that made me quite glad I already had volume 5 checked out from the library. I will follow these Paper Girls to any time!

I absolutely love Jane Harper! The 1st book in the #AaronFalk series was Falk‘s personal story along with the greater mystery, whereas the 2nd in the series is a general mystery, but pleasantly still has a lot of character development for Aaron. I loved the reveals of the mystery and were excellently paced. I hope Harper writes another Falk book one day.

Throughout the book she constantly talks to a never-conceived, unborn poor daughter named August that while endearing at first quickly becomes old. this a Pick b/c i enjoyed the stories of the author‘s family & it shows the dysfunction & struggles poor women have to endure. Author narrates the book and she does a good job. A lot of statistical & factual info that shows how the Republican Party is not looking out for the common folk.

Renewing my license at the Motor Vehicle Administration. (Idk why they can‘t call it DMV like most other states.) Thank goodness I remembered to bring a book! Only 20 some numbers in front of me...shouldn‘t be too bad!

I LOVED this book and was so disappointed when the sequel was never going to be published because the author switched publishers, but now One Kick is going to be a limited series on WGN America called Gone. I still wish the sequel would be released!

I don‘t understand what Emily saw in Adam. I didn‘t like him from the beginning. I don‘t understand why Emily would put up with what she did for Adam. Emily seemed older than 27, yet she made really immature decisions. Once the twists were revealed, I didn‘t think people would act that way. There were great cliffhangers and funny moments which is what made me give it 3 stars. I‘m not sure I‘d rush to read another of Sandie Jones‘ books.

I need to read the book if it‘s going to be a TV series. Admittedly I don‘t watch shows live on basic cable anymore; I usually binge later on, but this would be a show I want to check out as I love #LianeMoriarty and really like Heather Graham.

Cool casting choice! I loved SMG‘s show Ringer that lasted only for a season on the CW from 2011-2012. This should be good!! Enjoyed the book and eager for the next one!

1) Teleport- I could go anywhere & not have to pay for airfare!
2) I‘m a little more than halfway done the audiobook for Heartland by Sarah Smarsh.
3) To spend less money on frivolous things and to read more & post on #Litsy more! I‘ve missed this community terribly!
4) I want to check out #You, but I‘m a couple episodes into the final season of House of Cards. I work near one of the places they filmed in MD.
5) will do! #friyayintro
