I finished Orphan X and gave it 5 ⭐️. I’ve got book 3 on hold at the library and it’s rapidly becoming my new favourite series. Starting False Witness next. I was really disappointed with the last Karin Slaughter book I read do hoping this one makes up for it.

I’m trying to get into Eyes on You. I think I need to move away from this genre. I feel like I’m just hate reading them at this point. I read The Woman in Cabin 10 the other day, so that might be influencing my feelings. it felt like such a cliche, I am currently angry reading all suspense books. Ooooh, the Woman in Cabin 10 made me sooo angry. I think the only thing I enjoyed about that book was the descriptions of the fjords.

Lol, I have not read that one. Mystery is generally not my genre. We read the Woman in Cabin 10 for book club a few years ago.

Oh yay. Definitely not for me. Woohoo, let’s work at making women look “crazy”. Skeeves me right out.

I used to really like this genre and still do but I've noticed I can only read one or two in a row and then I need to switch to a different genre for a while or I get annoyed with them. Plus I feel like I've read so many at this point that there aren't a lot of "twists" I don't see coming anymore.

I'm hate-finishing The Paris Appartment at this point. I have about 50 pages left. I just want it to be over 🤦🏻♀️ I'm grateful that I got it from the library instead of buying it at least.

Basically interchangeable. Both can be filed under “drunk lady swears she saw a horrible happening but she’s recovering from a traumatic event and weird things keep happening but she’s also an unreliable narrator.”

I actually liked Reckless Girls! Like, it’s not winning any awards 🤣 but it’s a quick fun read. This gives me hope, because she's going to nag me into reading it regardless lol It will occupy you for a weekend. And I didn’t find it boring.

Lol, exactly! By page 15, I was hate reading it knowing what I was signed for.

I'm currently working on Member of the Family by Dianne Lake. She was a member of the Manson family from the age of 14-16. It's an interesting and creepy look inside the cult.

Cher Good! It's just so weird to read about her doing LSD & pot with her parents and all the things Charlie made her do. You forget for a moment she was so young. Her parents just handed her a note and let her go off on her own. I know it was the 60's but still. I'm only about halfway thru so they just met Dennis Wilson.

I just added it to my want to read list. I would love to hear that perspective.

I finished The Love of My Life by Rosie Walsh last night and loved it 5 stars, maybe my favorite book I’ve read this year. I can’t believe this is a debut.

I just finished Come Find Me by Megan Miranda, I think someone here mentioned it. I thought it was a great YA mystery and different than I was expecting. I really enjoyed it.

That was probably me, I really liked this one. I read it not knowing that the protagonists would be teenagers, which usually isn’t my thing, but I thought it was a really cool and spooky story.

I finished The Patient’s Secret. It was good but there was A LOT going on and I think it could have benefited from some cutting down on characters and perspectives. It’s apparently based partly on an infamous Canadian murder case that I’m not familiar with. It’s very dark.
I think I’m going to try In a New York Minute next.

Ohhh I have this from the library and was actually considering just returning it without reading since I have a bunch of others to read too. But now I'm changing my mind.
