Dragonfly in Amber (Outlander #2) Dianna Gabaldon

Well, if this isn't the longest book I've ever read... checks the book out 4 times from the library... sees that book three is even longer... sigh. But really, it's so long. So-so long. Honestly, I love a nice, long book...

The Woman in Cabin 10: Ruth Ware (audiobook)

When they said this book had an Agatha Christie vibe, they didn't lie. Imagine this, a woman on a cruise ship. In the middle of the ocean. Wakes up to hear a heavy splash from Cabin 10 ( just nextdoor) and thinks she se...

Crazy LoveYou: Lisa Unger

This book was a wild ride. I've never read Lisa Unger before, and while I loved the book the ending to this book was a bit unexpected and I'm not sure how I felt about it. I suppose that's simply because I didn't go the ...

Something in the Water: Catherine Steadman

This book has a little bit of a slow start for me. Not that I didn't enjoy it, I did- very much- but it took a while for the action to start. I had to look up the blurb to see what the book was about since it was taking ...

Outlander by Diana Gabaldon (Audiobook)

Well. Sighs deeply... let me compose myself for a moment. This book... just... wow. I tend to listen to books while I'm doing things like driving, working, folding laundry. Imagine me driving down the highway gasping... ...

Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng (Audio Book)

No, I haven't seen the show. I almost never do that-the read a book after I watch the movie/tv show- thing. The book is always, always, always better. So I don't often bother with it. I grabbed this book with the though...

The Shadows: Alex North (Audiobook)

I read his first book, The Whisperman, and I enjoyed it very much. So when I saw this one out, I picked it up without hesitation. The Shadows has the same creepy, dark vibe that the first one did. Warning though, this on...

The Scapegoat by Daphne du Maurier (Audible)

I fell in love with this author when I read Rebecca. This is the third book of hers that I've read now and it's just as good as Rebecca and Jamaica Inn. In this book, two strangers meet by chance and happen to be identic...

Rebecca (Audible): Daphne du Maurier (Spoilers)

I can't believe how good this book was. Like in my top three good. Simply amazing, and better than the movie. However, I'm glad I watched the movie (many, many times) because it gives you a point of reference for the ima...

The Housekeeper: Natalie Barelli

This book was so refreshing after reading that Twighlight nonsense. Like being back home. Right up my alley. Meet Claire, who seems a bit dark, a bit off, and you can't decide how to feel about her. A touch obsessed wi...
