Clinic on a mountain top on cover

The Clinic by Cate Quinn

From the critically acclaimed author of Black Widows comes a thriller set in a remote rehab clinic on the Pacific Northwest coast, in which the death of a woman inside prompts her sister to enter the clinic as a patient in order to find the truth. Perfect for fans of Stacy Willingham and Tarryn Fisher!

Meg works for a casino in LA, catching cheaters and popping a few too many pain pills to cope, following a far different path than her sister Haley, a famous actress. But suddenly reports surface of Haley dying at the remote rehab facility where she had been forced to go to get her addictions under control.

There are whispers of suicide, but Meg can't believe it. She decides that the best way to find out what happened to her sister is to check in herself – to investigate what really happened from the inside.

Battling her own addictions and figuring out the truth will be much more difficult than she imagined, far away from friends, family – and anyone who could help her.

Bonny & Read Caribbean, 1720. Two extraordinary women are on the run - from their pasts, from the British Navy and the threat of execution, and from the destiny that fate has written for them.

Plantation owner's daughter, runaway wife, pirate - Anne Bonny has forged her own story in a man's world. But when she is involved in the capture of a British merchant ship, she is amazed to find another woman amongst the crew, with a history as unconventional as her own. Dressed as a boy from childhood, Mary Read has been a soldier, a sailor, a widow - but never a woman in charge of her own destiny.

As their exhilarating, tumultuous exploits find fame, the ballad of Bonny and Read is sung from shore to shore - but when you swim against the tide of history, freedom is a dangerous thing...

An exuberant reimagining of the extraordinary story of Bonny & Read - trailblazing, boundary-defying, swashbuckling heroines whose story deserves to be known. Perfect for fans of Ariadne, The Mercies and The Familiars.

Ivan the Terrible is history.

Volunteering for Sky tower!

Hi everyone, checking in.

Good to see some familiar faces and hello to new reading buddies.

I’m just away at the end of an amazing 5 week holiday with my sister. We started in Milan and are just ending up in the north of Romania.. seen absolutely amazing things but looking forward to getting back home to the family.

I think I’ve been to the sky tower around 1998 or 1999 on a family holiday when my kids were little. We did the Aussie family holiday driving around New Zealand as my kids introduction to travel.

I get back the day before the challenge starts so I’ll check out everything more fully when I return. The phone is a bit of a pain in this regard.

Looking forward to another fun TT - my 10th and the travel theme is awesome!! 🤩

Sally… we can be frienemies.. bwahahaha.. 🤣🥰

Great. Thanks Judith. 😀

Hi Team

Hi Team,

I finished Where the Light Enters on April 21.

That finishes Carrie and Mr Big.

I am on holidays without my laptop so could someone mark it read on the spreadsheet and spin for another Monster. Thanks!

Yes, it was. But I’ve filled in so many signups I could work it out.

Another rainy day in paradise today.. but not complaining for a second!

Can’t wait.. it will be awesome, even if I can’t see all the details on my phone.

And so glad it starts the day after my holiday ends, something to look forward to banish the back from holidays blues!

Thanks Kelly!

Signed up - even with the form in Italian but think I worked it out. 🤣

And it starts the day I get back from holidays, even better!

Yay… Tower teams!

I’m away on holiday with only my phone and can’t get into any details.

Would someone mind posting here the start date and link to the sign up sheet . thanks!
