Enjoyable, quick YA read. I seldom read YA...but I love John Grisham.

In this installment, Kinsey goes undercover to investigate fraudulent insurance claims. She befriends the woman she‘s investigating to get deeper into the crime ring. The story flowed well for me, but the ending seemed pretty rushed and the epilogue abrupt.

Wow! This was an awesome, suspenseful thriller with some disturbing scenes. 😱 4MK is a serial killer Chicago detectives have been searching for when he is struck dead by a city transit bus. There‘s evidence one last victim is being held by 4MK and police need to find her before it‘s too late. I realize this is a series and can‘t wait to read more! This author is super talented!!

A news reporter is looking for her birth parents while she is covering the story of a woman on trial for murdering her husband. The story line was very predictable with little suspense. #MountTBR

My first book by this author. It‘s a cute little novella with some mystery, ghosts, and books. A quick Halloween read. I‘ll definitely venture into more work by this author. 🎃

Greg Iles writes the kind of novel I get completely lost in and never want to end. His writing style is superb. He offers so much detail about the characters as he builds a story woven of death, love, betrayal, hope, and sadness. He leaves no stone unturned for the reader. Just a longing for more. 5 beautiful, glorious 🌟

Book #5 in the Rosato and Associates series. Mary is hired to represent a husband who confessed to killing his wife. She doubts his guilt and becomes determined to prove his innocence. At first, the story seemed pretty predictable. As I listened on, the plot thickened and the mystery intensified.

Excellent book on the benefits of psychedelic assisted therapy. The author does a superb job explaining the history of psychedelics for the treatment of mental health disorders, addiction, dying, etc. He shares his personal experiences with different guided psychedelic experiences. Throughout he highlights the benefits of such treatment. My 🤞 for continued support for this method of treatment.

Great audio narration for this short vampire story. 🧛🏻‍♀️

Included in the October monthly free selections from Audible. Readers are treated to four ghost stories that take place at Camp Red Moon. A full cast of narrators and creepy sound effects. Perfect Halloween reading! 👻🎃

Interesting premise for a novel. Two sisters; one writes a book describing her relationships with multiple men and then goes missing after sharing a draft with her sister. The older sister is a lawyer by day and sings in a club at night. The lawyer is left to solve her sister‘s disappearance. Audio narration was just okay. Speeding it up helped a lot. #MountTBR

This one just didn‘t deliver like I hoped. We learn the story of Hannibal‘s upbringing and medical training and how his bizarre killing methods and cannibalism began. Unfortunately, I had difficulty staying engaged with the story. #MountTBR

Another excellent installment of the Grant County series! I not only enjoy the crimes that get solved, I love the characters. Karin Slaughter is so talented in how she allows the reader to become so invested in their lives.

Despite owning 2 copies of this book, I listened to it on audio. I‘m rating this a pick for the quality of the work and not my difficulty to stay engaged at times. It‘s a super in depth book on horror books, movies and TV. He definitely exposed me to movies I‘ve missed and authors I want to read. I especially enjoyed his personal antidotes and mentions of his son, Joe. Perfect time of year to read this one! 👻🎃👽#MountTBR

I just love Karin Slaughter more and more with each book in this series. I liked how this installment switched back and forth between the present drama and how the relationship began with Sara and Jeffrey.

The Apex Predator is a good short story by Michael Koryta. Thor, a tough Russian mob guy, is introduced to a tiger cub by his mob boss. He becomes concerned about the cub and what his boss is involved, so he hires Lincoln Perry, a private investigator, to learn more. I love the Lincoln Perry series, so it was great to spend more time with this character.

Excellent short story for my flight to Arizona. I loved the writing style of reading the letters between the characters. And that ending was so good!! 👍

Michael Koryta is one of my favorite authors for mystery/suspense. Taking place in the 1930s, Arlen has a gift for being able to tell someone is close to death. He convinces his protege to change their travel plans to avoid a certain death. Their adventure takes them to Cypress House where no one could have predicted the mess they were getting involved. #MountTBR

When this book came out, I didn‘t think I needed it. I‘m good at organizing and being neat. Recently, I decided I want to minimize my possessions and work to let go of momentos. This book meets me exactly where I am in life; needing to let go of the past and live in the present. This book is about so much more than decluttering; it‘s about tidying your life. 💙 Soon I will start tidying my clothes. Doubt I will let go of very many books. 😉

This wasn‘t as good as I was expecting. I loved the adventure of 2 guys rowing a boat on a Canadian river when a forest fire erupts, but I just couldn‘t get into the story fully. The ending was surprising and heartfelt though.

I initially thought that this was going to be my least favorite Tana French book, but as I kept reading I changed my mind. I really love how the author is devoted to developing the characters. This is definitely a long, slow story and I didn‘t want to leave Toby. I fell in love with Hugo and Ivy House. I could forever stay in that house. Tana French did not disappoint me. #MountTBR

A job well done by the author! I kept suspecting different characters and became just as untrusting of everyone like Gina/Gwen. I like the transformation of the MC into a strong, independent woman. Good suspense throughout. Looking forward to the next installment. #MountTBR

Wasn‘t sure I was going to like this one at first. Glad I stayed with it! Once I grasped the character dynamics and who was with who, I fell right into the story. Interesting story of people who have been best friends since college and now have teenagers. #MountTBR

Reacher hooks up with his former elite crew from the Army as they work to solve the suspicious disappearances of some team members. Reacher never ceases to amaze me. #ReadingUSA2019 #Nevada

While I loved learning about Thoreau, this book really lacked momentum for me. (It took me forever to finish it!) The majority of the book focuses on his life pre Walden pond. Interesting...but I really connected with his knowledge and love of nature. I wish the author would have spent more time on his life in the woods. #MountTBR

A story about survivors of a jet plane that crashed into the ocean. It reminded me a lot of the movie Castaway. I couldn‘t stop listening as the story switched back and forth from their time on the deserted island to after their rescue and returned home. The lies and secrets were enthralling! #MountTBR #ReadingUSA2019 #Missouri (one survivor lived there)

So glad I finally read this one! Mitch Albom weaved a beautiful story of Frankie Presto‘s life from birth to death. A life filled with moments of happiness and even fame along with losses and tragedy. Parts of the story are told by famous musicians in attendance of Frankie‘s funeral. Clever writing style with lots of emotion and passion. 💜🎸 🎼 #MountTBR

I can always count on Kinsey for an entertaining mystery. This one has two stories going at once; she‘s hired to find a missing mother and someone has been hired to kill her.

I fell in love with this book and Alva Vanderbilt. 💛 I had no idea she was so instrumental in the women‘s suffrage movement. Her life is an incredible story and I am grateful for her efforts. I can‘t imagine living in that time period. The style and language of the story was very eloquent and era appropriate. 5🌟

Very well told story about the first African American police officers in Atlanta, pre Civil Rights. Full of characters that broke my heart, surprised me in a good way, and several I wanted to punch in the throat. Since moonshine repeatedly made appearances in the story, I thought I‘d include some in my picture. 😂 #MountTBR

Fascinating true crime story with some unexpected aspects. I didn‘t know that the monster of Florence inspired Thomas Harris‘ Dr. Hannibal Lector novels. There are several references to TH. Also, the authors became a part of the case as the Italian authorities were not pleased with their research/investigation. #MountTBR

The story dragged a little bit for me in the beginning, but once things started rolling there was no stopping!! I loved the little gems throughout the story that only Stephen King can drop. He never ceases to amaze me! #MountTBR #LitsyAtoZ #LetterO

I recently discovered that I 💙 cozy mysteries. Thanks to Litsy, I learned about this incredible series set in one of my favorite lighthouses on the Outer Banks in NC!! This book is the first in the series and I quickly devoured it. It has a murder mystery, missing 1st ed. Jane Austen books, a library inside a lighthouse, a cat, and a dreamy apartment in the lighthouse. What more could I ask for?! #MountTBR

I‘ve seen the movie a few times, years ago and glad I finally read the book. I just love the creepy, gory, and intellectual antics of Hannibal. 🖤

Beautifully written in honor of our National Parks. TTW shares her personal experiences visiting several parks; Grand Teton, Theodore Roosevelt, Gettysburg, Gates of the Arctic, to name a few. She deepened my love for nature and fueled my anger towards people in power who make ignorant decisions to destroy it. #MountTBR #ReadingUSA2019 #Alaska

This trilogy, especially the final book, The Border, couldn‘t come closer to being a nonfiction book. I not only love Don Winslow‘s writing, he‘s incredibly knowledgeable about the cartel, our drug war, and dishonorable politicians. Amazing book! 5🌟 #ReadingUSA2019 #RhodeIsland (author from)

A good summer read. A couple are on vacation at a cabin in #NewHampshire with their young daughter when a group of uninvited people show up to preach about an apocalypse. The dynamics of the characters shifted in unexpected ways. Am definitely surprised by evolution of the story. #ReadingUSA2019

Stephen King couldn‘t have been more correct when he said this book is not for the faint hearted. It takes a lot to freak me out or make me cringe when reading and this book scared the hell out of me! Excellent writing and WAY creepier than I expected. #MountTBR

A very good novel with a deep story. This isn‘t your typical book about an innocent man being arrested for a murder he didn‘t commit. The author takes the reader on a completely unexpected ride. Hang on to your seat and settle in for the journey. #MountTBR #LitsyAtoZ #LetterE. Happy Independence Day America! 🇺🇸

Nice short story collection honoring Ray Bradbury. My favorite part is at the end of each story, the author writes about how Bradbury influenced them. As with any short story collection I read, I didn‘t love them all. #MountTBR

It amazes me how Lee Child can write these seriously intense stories. The plots are so detailed and brilliantly designed. In this installment, Jack Reacher is in NYC where he gets involved with ex-military guys to find a missing wife and her daughter.

I enjoyed this psychological thriller and give it a 4/5 🌟 rating. I was surprised by the ending. I didn‘t see that last twist coming and can understand why it didn‘t seem to impress others based on the reviews I‘ve read. It was a bit weird, but I can appreciate the effort to create something different for a very popular genre.

Interesting novel. The story of what happens to a family after their 13-year-old daughter disappears and returns 8 years later. Definitely suspenseful as the story kept confusing me (in a good way) and changing my mind about what I thought was happening. #MountTBR #LitsyAtoZ #LetterG
