Nobody's Fool | Harlan Coben
post image
Pickpick

I went back & reread Fool Me Once before reading this. I was surprised when I heard it was another book featuring the detective from Fool Me. I didn‘t think he was a big enough character to bring back.
The story was classic Coben with the twists, both believable and out there. As usual, I enjoyed it but found myself asking for Coben to write another Myron & Win book.

A super short story where Charlotte Holmes helps a timid woman find the courage to make herself and spending time with her friend a priority. Another installment where my love for Charlotte & Mrs. Watson grows.
Book 8 moved up my TBR and will either be read this month or next.

I read this with the #LittensLoveACOTAR group which made it even more enjoyable. Much calmer than the other stories in the series. I think it‘s laid the groundwork for A Court of Silver Flames which the group has just started.

This is my #TBRtarot read for May. “Let someone else pick your book.”

Brian did a great job! This is book 7 in the Teddy Fay series & Stone Barrington put in an appearance. I just love these characters.
Stuart Woods passed away in 2022 & Battles has done a great job taking over the two series.

Fool Me Once | Harlan Coben
post image
Pickpick

I read this in 2016. I love Harlan Coben & his books. When I saw that Nobody‘s Fool was a sequel to this I couldn‘t figure out where Coben would be taking us. Soooo, I reread this so I can go into Nobody‘s Fool with it fresh in my mind.
Typical twisty Coben.

I‘ve finished my May #DoubleSpin book.
I loved the Cerulean Sea duology. So when my nephew asked me if I‘d read book 1 in Klune‘s YA series, I happily agreed.
It‘s not on the same level as Cerulean but it still had great moments that made me feel the story. I laughed and I felt the characters‘ pain and sadness.
My nephew LOVED it btw. 🏳️‍🌈

It was nice being back in Sea Haven on the Jersey shore. Ceepak & Danny catch a case when preserved body parts and skulls from 20 years ago are found in various locations around town. Is the serial killer a regular vacationer or a neighbor?

The Phoenix Crown: A Novel | Kate Quinn, Janie Chang
post image
Pickpick

Both read for #AuthorAMonth. I‘ve already posted about The Rose Code.
The Phoenix Crown didn‘t pull me in right from the start but I‘m glad I gave it a chance. Set around the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, it follows the story of four women. Last year I read another book about this event, Outrun the Moon by Stacy Lee (#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD), & loved it! I think once I stopped comparing this book to that one, it was more enjoyable.

TheBookHippie I don‘t like Kate Quinn‘s writing 🫣🤷🏻‍♀️🤫 3w
mcctrish I struggled with The Phoenix Crown because I‘d read another book set in the same place and time and it bonded with my soul more 3w
