message 179: by Megan (new)

Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Just finished #8 (dark blue) - The Stranger by Harlan Coben. I enjoyed this book, probably because it was a lot different than I expected. The story was essentially about a suburban dad being caught up in a bizarre situation that turns deadly. I liked the main character, the writing was straight-forward, and the plot kept moving. Worth reading! 4 stars

I'm really trying not to purchase any more new books until I have significantly reduced my unread piles. Sign me up for 10! ~ that will be manageable for sure.
