Stephen McCarthy | 54 comments I have just finished Try Not To Breathe by Holly Seddon. I gave it 3 stars, it was ok but could have been better. Disappointing ending.

i perhaps need to reconsider my book choices and avoid suspenseful thrillers recommended by Kindle every month.

At the bottom of the "comment" box, you can uncheck the boxes that say either "add to my update feed" and "notify me when people comment in this group", by clicking on the blue 'edit' word.

I read Black Lotus 2: The Vow and rate it 4 stars.
It is a gritty, realistic mystery with a fair amount of violence--not for cozy fans. My review

Míceál  Ó Gealbháin (miceal) | 11 comments Been reading Ken Bruen's Jack Taylor mysteries. Waiting for # 15 to come out in November. A wee bit of Mickey Spillane with an Irish lilt. Great reads for we stranded in our homes due to the covid-19 pandemic.

I read The Wicked Hour by Alice Blanchard I rated it 3 stars, due to some flaws. However, if you live outside NYS, and are not a covered bridger, you might like it.

In my reviews about Sally Rooney's novels I point out that Rooney left some hidden clues which connect her books to the works of James Joyce.

I read The Paris Library by Janet Skeslien Charles
It is historical fiction, set in Paris during WWII and 1983-84 small town Montana. It is a story of love, betrayal, sadness and coming of age, all wrapped in one.

Band of Sisters: A Novel by Lauren Willig
This is historical fiction,set in WWI, about a group of Smith college American women who volunteer to go the French front lines in 1917. The book is based upon a group of Smith College women who did exactly that. The characters are fictional, but much of the book is based upon letters written by them.. My 4 star review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

It was a Goodreads giveaway.
