Mr. Mercedes (Bill Hodges Trilogy, #1) by Stephen King
Mr. Mercedes****A nice dark and twisted crime drama."


I'm listening to the Audiobook right now and really like it so far!

The narrator sounds like Mike from Breaking Bad, If you know who I'm talking about. I wonder if it is him... I shall google it.

message 306: by Megan (new)

Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Just completed #5 First name - Elizabeth Is Missing by Emma Healey. I was not a fan of this book. It was depressing and the flashbacks seemed rather obvious. I have come to realize I do not like books that are told from the perspective of someone loosing their memories or perceptions. I don't know if this was a failure of writing, or if I'm just not the target audience. I would not recommend. 1 star

Scott Ivlow (scottinwinterhaven) No 5. First Name: I am entering Emma's Baby. However I reading the American version The Stranger on the Train: A Novel. It is very hard to take a title of a book and put in a category that really doesn't fit into any of them. No.22 Something to Read isn't what I would use myself for the word "Topics". When reads The Book: Special Topics in Calamity Physics There are 24 categories that doesn't fit for the other 3 words in the title. I am so glad I'm fully not into I SPY.

message 337: by Megan (new)

Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Just completed #1 Color - Red Rising by Pierce Brown. Overall, I enjoyed this book. It got much better towards the end. The beginning of the book was difficult for me to wrap my head around. I appreciate the extremely complex world the author created. It was introduced in a confusing way. I felt dropped right into the middle of the narrative. Then the book morphed into a vicious Hunger Games. However, I appreciated the ending and am looking forward to the next book. Worth reading! 4 stars

message 338: by Martine (new)

Martine Ferland | 13 comments I have a tricky question: would a well be considered a body of water? I'm actually wondering if I could sneak in Aging Well: Surprising Guideposts to a Happier Life from the Landmark Study of Adult Development for the 9)Body of water goal as if it was a water well rather than the adverb, assuming a well is an acceptable body of water.

Thank you in advance!
