Kris (My Novelesque Life) (mynovelesquelife) | 2447 comments Sorry for long list I have not listed my reads in a bit.

I finished listening to:

- Before She Knew Him by Peter Swanson - 4 Stars - suspense thriller - a very engaging and interesting suspense!
- Odd Child Out (Jim Clemo #2) by Gilly Macmillan - 3.5 Stars - British police procedural - I liked the first book in the series more than this one, but enjoyed it!
- The Fifth Letter by Nicola Moriarty - 3 Stars - this one is a bit of a mystery, but is more about friendships drama-filled friendships.
- Full Throttle by Joe Hill - 3 Stars - a mix of suspense/horror/fantasy short stories (a story or two was co-written by Stephen King). I really liked a few of the stories and found the introduction really interesting.
- The Butterfly Girl (Naomi Cottle, #2) by Rene Denfeld -3 Star - I really enjoyed the first book, so was disappointed that this one was so tame in emotions.

I DNF:
- 99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne - I tried this rom-com on audio and I just could not finish
My Review
- Miss Bingley Requests A Pride and Prejudice Regency Variation by Judy McCrosky - I could not get into this one

I finished reading:
- Savage Appetites Four True Stories of Women, Crime, and Obsession by Rachel Monroe - 3 Stars - Nonfiction - true crime
- The Clothing of Books by Jhumpa Lahiri -3 Stars - short books on essays about books. I thought it was okay.
- Miss Pinkerton by Mary Roberts Rinehart -3.5 Stars - a fun mystery - if you like Agatha Christie
- 77 Fragments of a Familiar Ruin by Thomas King - 4 Stars - amazing collection of poetry!

I agree on 99 percent mine. I finished but it was a struggle.

Glad to hear it wasn't just me, Laura. I gave up only because I struggled with her first book as well.

I saw your comment on Frost's book, and I agree it was not a great book. The series does get better :)

Looks like you got a lot of reading done in October. Loved the SEP book!


message 562: by Christina T (new)

Christina T (crysteena73) | 558 comments @Jonetta--Where the Crawdads was so highly recommended by you I couldn't do anything but put it on my library waitlist. It took forever to get the audio version but it was so worth it. I'm sure it would have been a great book if I would have read it myself but the audio version blew me away.

@Robin--It was nice to get back to an SEP...it's been a long while since I read one....and it was so good!

I finished listening to The Twenty-Three by Linwood Barclay, Promise Falls #3, and really enjoyed it and am glad one more book was added to the series. Teensy bit left unresolved. Here’s my review.

I’m listening to In Pieces by Sally Field, which is already fascinating.

Robin (robinmy) | 3473 comments I went from one extreme to the other with my reading this week. First I listened to Seen and Not Heard by Anne Stuart Seen and Not Heard by Anne Stuart. Though some of the suspense was interesting, I had a hard time with the TSTL heroine and the lack of romance in a book that was billed as "romantic suspense".

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

My next book was a novella in the Legionnaires series. It was Forbidden River (The Legionnaires #2.5) by Brynn Kelly Forbidden River by Brynn Kelly. I'm not a fan of short stories, but this was top-notch. Actually, the whole series is very good. If you are a fan of Suzanne Brockmann's Troubleshooters series, you should give this series a try.
