Discussion post from @ljuliel 😁♥️
“Can you name an author that‘s an immediate purchase when they release a new book, plus you‘ve read every other book they‘ve written already?”
I devoured every single book in the Kay Scarpetta series by Patricia Cornwell (years ago). These books are what got me so hooked on the mystery/thriller genre, and the emphasis on forensic science is KILLER (no pun intended 😂).

pickHoly breadsticks, this was GOOOOOOD. Does me liking the sociopathic main character mean that I, myself, am a sociopath? I mean.....🤔😂😂
LOOKIE WHAT I GOT TODAY 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
pickI tried to be all artsy with my book pic (hence the crumpled paper). Hubby kinda laughed at me 😂😂
This is now my favorite John Green. I want to go back and reread it just so I can soak it in a little more ♥️♥️♥️ #NWC

So, I‘m not a Twitter person, but I decided to revamp my account and only follow authors I love. Look who replied to my tweet! The ever amazing Rainbow Rowell!! I‘m dying ❤️♥️❤️♥️
pickLet me try to explain to you just how much I already miss this world..... well, I don‘t think I can 😂
This is the 2nd book in the series, and I loved it more than the 1st. Still don‘t feel like it‘s a middle grade series - despite the main characters‘ ages, it‘s super adult-y with plenty of scary situations and circumstances.
There‘s a 3rd one coming out too 😁😁😁
pickHow can I put into words what a beautiful book this is? It‘s about wrenching loss, betrayal, and utter heartbreak. But, it‘s also about forgiveness, redemption, fragile trust, and LOVE. The love that Myra has for her daughters, and the love she eventually shows herself.
On another note - I would most likely not survive an apocalyptic event. So there‘s that. 😳😳
I highly recommend this one ♥️

pickCrazy fast read! Not my favorite, but definitely had plenty of thrills and a super twisty plot, with some surprises thrown in.
pickAbsolute gem of a book! Hilarious, heartbreaking, unflinchingly honest. Some icky parts if you‘re squeamish (I‘m not).
It‘s really a love letter to all of those healthcare workers who feel under appreciated, underpaid, overworked, and exhausted beyond words. So thankful to have read this finally ♥️
pickCrowley, this was fantastic! I think I read it in two days. Dearest Rainbow, I love you, and also please don‘t wait four years for the 3rd book, kthanksbye 😂😁♥️

pickReally enjoyed this one. I do feel like it‘s more YA than middle grade (I read some reviews on Litsy mentioning it‘s middle grade?), as there are some intense and scary situations that might frighten younger readers. Looking forward to reading the next one in the series! 😁😳
CONGRATS @Librarybelle 😁😁😁 Thanks for the opportunity to enter this giveaway! I would love to read the tagged book, as I have a fascination with octopuses and my son‘s very favorite stuffed animal is a red octopus named “Mr. Octee.” ♥️😁#200KGiveaway
pickI am enthralled with this series. How am I supposed to wait until November 5? 😂 To pre-order or not to pre-order...... 🤔
Karin Slaughter is damn good at thrillers. What a (crazy, twisty, graphic.....did I say crazy?) ride.
pickHere‘s the thing: anytime you have people in power, whether government is involved or not, there will be conflict. One group wants to maintain order and the “old ways.” The other wants to change those ways, sometimes quite drastically. I don‘t think it can be avoided - there will always be someone who wants more. Power can be dangerous.
I loved this book. Thunderhead on request 👍
pickDear Jackson Brodie,
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Okay, there are too many “ways” to count. I loved this book! I loved the different stories and how they converged. I loved the characters. Did I mention I adore Jackson Brodie? ♥️♥️
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I am so proud of this!!! A few months ago, I wasn‘t reading anything due to some sad family circumstances. So glad to be back on track ♥️😁
On to 40 books! 🙋♀️
Who else loves Jackson Brodie? I‘ve just started this one - he is hilarious! 😁♥️ #blameitonlitsy
pickOH EM GEEEEEEZ this one ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I must read his other books now - I couldn‘t put this down! Twisty twisty and oh so creepy 😁
pickI expected something entirely different when I started reading this one. What I got was a beautiful book about love, loss, new beginnings, and the importance of forgiveness. Having gone through some rough patches lately, I think I needed to read this. Forgiveness, and letting go of the past, are both major struggles for me 🤷♀️
It also has a super happy ending, so there‘s that ♥️😊
so-soI admit the cover is what got me at first - it‘s very Dali-esque. But, the book felt disjointed, and the ending was very abrupt with a boatload of unanswered questions. Kudos for the abundance of girl power and the portrayal of strong, fierce women. I finished it, but barely. 🤷♀️

pickKarin Slaughter is the queen of dramatic, shocking beginnings. I LOVE IT.
This one shifts POV between the main characters, a mother and a daughter - one who is trying to hide her past, the other trying to figure out who she is. It‘s riveting, twisty, sometimes emotional, and SUCH a fantastic story. A must read!
