I finished Gone Tonight, which publishes today. It was interesting and engaging. You had to suspend your disbelief at times, but I was ok with that. It was more of a mystery starting out and you are slowly given bits of the mom's history. The end is where the twists and thriller parts come in. I enjoyed the slow build more than the 'big twists', but that is just my personal preference. If half stars were allowed, I might have considered going down to 3.5 stars, but only because I'm not of fan of (view spoiler)

Finished my first one of the month and BOY was it evil and twisty and juicy.
None of This Is TrueIt was told through dual perspectives and also through a podcast style. It really worked for me. 5 stars!
I had no books left that publish the end of this year, so I added
The Predictable Heartbreaks of Imogen Finch . It looks really cute. I'm planning to finish up some of my past due reads before getting to it.
I finished
The Space Between. It didn't grab me right away and it is a bit long so I was worried that it would drag, but the I couldn't put it down the second half. my Space Between review
I finished The Prisoner. It was good, but not great. It was nice to get a past pub book off my shelf. My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Probably won't finish Imogen Finch today, so this is my tally. Read: 3

Well, a little bit of a slow month for my NetGalley reads. I've actually been spending a little more time delving into some of the series that I already have going. I have added several new ARC's to my NetGalley library though.End of the Month

3. At the end of the month, update your post and with:
a: What books you read
b: Link(s) to your review(s)**
c: Your updated shelf count
d: Your updated books to read
e: Your updated ratio
Then start a new post for the next month!
