Just cleared another book - The Patient by Jasper DeWitt. This book was creepy up until the last chapter, and then the ending just fell flat. I’m not sure if the author meant to leave it vague, or if the writing was just not clear enough for his intent. I did appreciate the structure of the tale. The blog posts gave a bit of reprieve from the tension and prolonged it a bit as well. I received this book as a free giveaway in exchange for my honest review. Worth reading. 3.5 stars

Just cleared another book - The Lines We Leave Behind by Eliza Graham. I knew little about the Yugoslavian resistance during WW2 or the British agents sent in to assist them, so I appreciate that knowledge. I found the viewpoints towards women at the time infuriating, found some of the statements about women’s sexuality judgmental, and I wasn’t a fan of the last quarter of the book. But the ending was redemptive. Overall, interesting read. 3 stars
