I should have just watched that Trixie and Katya video

The Woman in the Window by A.J Finn

Did I read The Woman in the Window because I wanted to watch an episode of Netflix’s Queens Who Like to Watch (with Trixie and Katya) but I couldn’t watch it because I hadn’t seen the movie, and I couldn’t watch the movie because I hadn’t read the book? I will neither confirm nor deny but, YES I DID. All this just to watch a 10 minute video of my favorite queens. Was it worth it? Well, yes but only because Trixie and Katya are […]

A theater for my unquiet mind

The Woman in the Window by A. J. Finn

My mother is a reader but unfortunately it is rare for us to share a book that we both enjoy. Occasionally though, we hit upon one that pleases us both. She tends to think that the books that I read are “weird” so she didn’t hesitate to recommend this one to me. After reading loads of similar sounding books and suffering from Gone Girl burnout, I was wary. I have a love/hate thing with books that I KNOW have some kind of twist and/or unreliable narrators that […]

This is a decent thriller that relies heavily on references to 1940s and 50s noir like Rear Window — the main character spends her time watching old movies and spying on her neighbors. Due to a combination of psych drugs, alcohol, and people lying to her, to call her an unreliable narrator would be an understatement. Gaslight definitely comes to mind, as does the much more recent The Girl on the Train. “I think of Dr. Brulov in Spellbound: “My dear girl, you cannot keep bumping your […]

I actually read more books this year than I have since I can remember. I just don’t have the energy to review them all for various reasons. Last year I did a round-up of all the books I didn’t properly review, and I’d like to do the same now (I’m only counting this review as 1 book read, because even though it’s lots of books, it’s not a full review for each and there’s no overarching theme like I usually do in my multi-book reviews).

Episode 1-49: I Feel It Coming, Babe

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/12/28/episode-1-49-i-feel-it-coming-babe/ Wherein I review: 186 – The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn I guess psychologist is the new author in the dark thriller. This was pretty much Drunk Rear Window, and I saw the twists, but it wasn’t bad. And as we creep towards the finish, I ponder whether or not to keep doing the podcast or hang up my spurs. And disappoint my twelves and twelves of fans.

Entertaining thriller; leaned into all the wrong parts. #CBRBingo (3rd Bingo!)

I didn’t expect this book to blow my mind, so I had a good time reading it. It was pretty fucked up, in that what-the-hell-is-going-on sort of way. That made me read it super fast, and I was completely absorbed the whole time. But when the reveal finally happened, it just felt really clichéd the way it played out. This book is about Anna Fox, a former child psychologist, now agoraphobic shut-in, who hasn’t left her house in ten months (almost eleven), and who spends […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
