Hollie’s comments from the Safety in numbers, never go into a book alone. #Group Reads group.

You don’t trust Ella Catherine? That’s an interesting point of view! X

FEBRUARY: (FANTASY)

No probs! The beast player it is! X

Sara as you have made such a good effort in getting involved in the January group read, even though it was not your prefered genre, would you like to choose the group read book for February? How about a Fantasy title this time as I remember you saying that this is one of the genres that you enjoy reading, Let me know the Title and the author of your chosen book should you wish to do this, and I will add it to the monthly book schedule. If possible your chosen book will not be part of a series.

That is such a shame that you were dissapointed with the book Sara, Although I must admit I have come across parts that are extremely frustrating. For example, I have just reached 34% (view spoiler)[ It's the first day that Jacob has gone back to work leaving Ella in the house alone, The nosey but lovely neighbour Liz knocks at the door, (I am sure that Liz already suspects that something is not quite right about the goings on in the Sinclare household. I also have a feeling that she will be back and may possibly play a part in Ella's escape.) Anyway, instead of grabbing this perfect opportunity and asking Liz for help, Ella just chats about her and Jacob's imaginary baby for a while and lets her walk off!!!!??? Yes I understand that if Ella escaped now, this book would be very short, and no I have not forgotten about the video that Jacob has that supposidly contains evidence of Ella doing something that could get her in a lot of trouble, probably leading to a stretch in prison..... BUT, she is in a type of prison now is she not? Only difference is that she is being guarded by a crazy man. And if she does ever escape, whats to stop him going staright to the police station with the video then?? The only way I can see Ella getting out of this mess is if she kills Jacob... have I guessed the ending? I really hope the book isn't this predictable. (hide spoiler)] Sara I am reading your spoilers as I reach the % marks that you are stating. So far I completely agree with you.

(view spoiler)[ I think Jacob is Zach too Sara! Have just reached 30% and the cameras have just arrived! From what I can gather so far is that Jacob got hurt in a fire which Ella caused and he seems to have video proof of this.....but i am still not sure what he is trying to gain by keeping her prisoner, so far he has bought a lovely new house for them to live in, is cooking for her and has kidnapped someone elses kitten to keep her company while he is at work :-/ yes he is extremely unhinged to imprisson her in the first place, but from what i am seeing at the moment things could be a whole lot worse for Ella. Then again I am sure Ella had her reasons for starting this fire 10 years ago, could it be that she had to do that in order to escape Jacob before? He might be not so bad to her at the moment, but maybe he was back then that we don't yet know about and that is why Ella is tip toeing so carefully around him right now. Hmmm. (hide spoiler)]

Hello Chris (This is my Mum everyone lol). You have got some catching up to do. But you have till the end of February before we all discuss the book properly so you have a while yet. x

Hi Catherine! Welcome to Safety in numbers! Right now we are reading “The Liar’s Wife” by Samantha Hayes (Easiest way to find a copy is e-book) if you want to catch up? If not will be starting our next group read on 1st February.

I am 15% in and (view spoiler)[ Ella is just about to leave the hospital with Jacob!!!! 🙈🙈🙈 (hide spoiler)]

Ok, I am 12% in! So far I really like Ella, and I love how at the moment the story is quite fast paced. (view spoiler)[ Jacob’s Character on the other hand is already making my skin crawl, he seems so conniving and sly! For now I can only hope that there is a happy ending for Ella ahead and that she can get herself out of the mess that she has clearly got herself into. It seems that love had lead her down the wrong path in the past and has unfortunately caught up with her. (hide spoiler)]

Ok Shawnda, join us whenever you are ready x

Happy New Year!! I hope everyone has had a good Christmas. Today is the day we begin our adventure of ‘The Liar’s Wife’ By Samantha Hayes. So curl up in your favourite reading chair and hold on tight as we travel together into our first group read of January 2019! Enjoy Everyone!!

If there was ever a book that made my jaw hit the floor at the end, it’s Shutter Island! Lol x

And Shawnda, I have very nearly finished “The death of Mrs Westaway, I noticed that you have read this one. I have REALLY enjoyed it so far! Has kept me guessing all the way through. I can’t stand it when a book is predictable, I love a big twist! Has anyone read “Shutter Island” by Dennis Lehane? I can recommend it!! So good! Especially if you love an ending with a twist!

Sara I see that you have read the “a court of thorns and roses series” I loved the 1st book but wasn’t so keen on the rest.

Welcome to safety in numbers Sara! Everyone say hi! I’m sure you will enjoy and benefit from being in this book club, thanks for joining! What genres do you enjoy reading or are looking to get into? I will do as much of a variety of genres as possible in this group. As you have probably seen we are starting with a thriller on 1st January. I hope you will come along on the adventure with us.
