Into the Water by Paula Hawkins

Fair Land, Fair Land by A.B. Guthrie Jr.
Rating: 4 stars
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
and I started reading:

Matilda by Roald Dahl
which is not my usual fare, I know. I don't usually do well with reading children's books as an adult but my daughter cleaned out her shelves recently and I decided to read this one before it is given away.

No Exit by Taylor Adams No Exit
A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham A Flicker in the Dark"
Both were great reads:)

Rating: 3 stars
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Rage by Stephen King writing as Richard Bachman
which has fallen out of print at King's request because it deals with the subject of school shootings

The Woman in Black by Susan Hill


The Woman in Black by Susan Hill
Rating: 3 stars
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
and I started reading

A Land More Kind Than Home by Wiley Cash


While I don't share author Stephen Kinzer's conviction, this was an intriguing book providing an overview of Iranian history and delving deeply into foreign intrigue of the 1950s.
