This book was a fast and fun listen. I was hooked from the very start.. A murder has everyone on edge. I questioned everyone but was also not surprised with the twist.

This one if free on audible!

This book is so so because I found myself wanting to finish for the plot but hating all the characters 😅 I felt more annoyed at how long everything was taking to develop but I did finish it in 2 days and needed to find out the end 📖

It was a fun book to follow but I found it definitely dragged out at some points. Abby and her husband move to a new town and she makes fast friends with Sienna. After a dinner party one night, Sienna suggests swapping husbands (like wife swap the show) but what happens that night will haunt all of them from that point forward…

I‘ve always loved Hilarie Burton 🥹 This was just another 100 reasons to keep loving her 🥰 From the comforting sound of her voice to the amazing and heartfelt stories she shared, this was an easy binge ❤️

I wanted to love this one but I found myself only really loving the last 2 chapters of 16 😅 That‘s a wrap on this series! Really enjoyed it, helped keep my mind busy while cleaning and such 🥰

This was a really good book but I felt like besides the end, it didn‘t play into the Narnia landscape as much as the others. I really wish they wouldn‘t have canceled the movie cause it would have been so fun to watch!! Onto the last book in the series!

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage There‘s an old BBC tv version of this series that was on PBS, I think. The 1988 version? My sister and I watched it growing up. Maybe it‘s on prime? I just remember Tom Baker (of Dr. Who fame) played Puddleglum (edited) 2w

Harlan Coben does it again.. Although this one felt more predictable it still had some twists I didn‘t see coming. What happens when the love of your life vanishes on your honeymoon? Not only that but one of the biggest celebrity couples out there. 📖

Simba was sleeping soundly so obviously had to get him in the pic 🥹

I enjoyed this book but found it lacked lustre for a thriller or suspense. The book takes place through 5 perspectives, we know one of the is dead but not who or why. The end was pretty good but I wish it was that exciting throughout 📖 Side note, everytime I look at the cover I think she‘s cutting her dress strap 😂

Guyyyssss, I tried SO hard to get through this book but I‘m 9hrs in out of 42 and I just can‘t do it 😭 it‘s on my scratch off poster so I was trying so hard to get it done but I‘m so lost, bored and just keep zoning out.

This book makes me so happy ❤️ I grew up watching oth and LOVING Hilarie Burton. Listening to her talk about her life was so comforting and I can‘t wait to listen to it every summer now 🥹❤️ I deeply enjoyed this one ❤️ Also, her husband is Jeffery Dean Morgan (Negan on Walking Dead) 🤤

KathyWheeler I‘ve seen a couple of her Christmas movies, and liked her in those. I‘m a big Jeffrey Dean Morgan fan, but my first thought isn‘t Negan, it‘s John Winchester in Supernatural. 😊 11mo

The first one was formatted as a book and the second as more of a podcast. That might be why it‘s not on litsy? IT WAS SO GOOD!! Both had me hooked from the very start. A psychic helping the FBI, right up my alley!

I‘ve always loved Joshua Jackson (Pacey from Dawsons creek) and he was an amazing narrator! If you have audible I suggest checking this out for free in the plus catalogue! 🥰
