Hi. Checking in. Looking forward to this month’s challenge, even the non-reading one!
What's everyone's tbr for this month?
Prisha wrote: "What's everyone's tbr for this month?"I don't have a set TBR but I'm trying to read a lot that I either own on my shelf or own in my Kindle to get my TBR down a little. I keep getting distracted with either books at the library or buying new books XD
Do you have a set TBR or a good idea of one for this month?
Yeah! I have a few books I need to go through... trying to catch up on my reading since everything's been so rushed... What are you currently reading?
Prisha wrote: "Yeah! I have a few books I need to go through... trying to catch up on my reading since everything's been so rushed... What are you currently reading?"I just finished
Home Is Where the Bodies Are and now I'm on to
The Family Across the Street. I primarily read mystery/thriller/suspense although occasionally I read some general fiction (i.e. last month I read and loved
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and
The Exception to the Rule and this month I'm excited to read
Wild Dark Shore and
Broken Country). What about you!? :)

I've read Home Is Where the Bodies Are before! Did you like it?

I did, but I wasn't wowed because I predicted "who did it" really early on so there was no shock value or that moment that WOWs you like I like so much in a thriller :/ what did you think?!

THAT twist SHOCKED me!!! I..."
Yeah that twist was crazy! I wanted to read it because i saw the show was out haha. I just watched the first two episodes. Want to see how it compares!

Ohhh, I thought it was alright, but I did find it a bit boring. Really surprised you got the who did it early on 😮
Jenn wrote: "Yeah that twist was crazy! I wanted to read it because i saw the show was out haha. I just watched the first two episodes. Want to see how it compares!"I can't wait to watch it! I heard it's good but leaves out a lot of smaller details. It's been so long since I've read it though I might not mind or notice haha
I just finished The Family Across the Street
and OMG I did not like it -- do not recommend -- unless you want to witness a woman and her two young children being physically abused with no explanation while the neighbor & delivery man justify not helping for a couple hundred pages, don’t read this book. If you want to know what happens & the dumb twist, read my review w/ spoilers: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
For the group buddy reads, I cannot find Underground Rose anywhere. Not even to buy on Amazon. Has anyone found this to read anywhere?

That's weird. I don't see it for sale anywhere anymore either. You could try commenting on her post about it and asking! https://www.facebook.com/SaraBurrBook...

A bit delayed starting Broken Country, but starting today. Trying to pick up some BRs.
I finished 5 books. Just got to find time to write the reviews! Should be posted up this weekend at the very least!
Had a couple of slow reading days but hoping to get a couple finished by the end of the weekend.
