There Was a Crooked Man…

March 1, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

Honestly I don’t have that much to say here besides the fact that I really really love this book. This was one of Agatha Christie’s favorite books and I can see why. There are a lot of twists and turns and I thought I figured out the perpetrator, but per usual, I was wrong. “Crooked House” follows the character of Charles Hayward, as he goes about investigating who could have murdered his potential fiance’s (Sophia) grandfather, Mr. Aristide Leonides. Christie sets up the book so […]

The Kind Worth Reading On a Beach When You’re Kinda Drunk and Not Thinking Too Hard

February 24, 2017 by Lindzgrl 3 Comments

    I added this book to my audiobook queue because it was recommended that if you liked Girl On The Train and Gone Girl you would also like this. It’s also supposedly in development to become a movie, but I read that same thing about The Lies of Locke Lamora about 20 years ago, and it STILL hasn’t happened and I’m STILL angry about it. Here’s the thing, I DID enjoy both GOTT and GG, and I can see why someone would recommend this […]

Never Doubt Rainbow Rowell…OR Scootsa1000!

February 15, 2017 by Melina 2 Comments

First, you should probably go read Scootsa1000’s review here…because her review made me want to read the book–and what if I don’t do as good of a job? Then you’ll be missing out on a great book recommended by Rainbow Rowel AND Scootsa1000!  I don’t want that on my conscience. Ok.  I’ll start here. I loved this book.  If that were enough, that’s all I would say.  But I’ll say a little more.  Have you ever read the Ice Storm where you know everything is […]

You Really Shouldn’t Share Mascara…That’s My Takeaway From All of This

February 10, 2017 by Melina Leave a Comment

  This book keeps popping up on book lists everywhere and then someone in our book club picked it, but then changed her mind to have us read Just Mercy  instead (this was last year which is why I don’t have a review for it).  But…I had already purchased the book and so I decided that eventually I would get to it. After reading The Kind Worth Killing I realized that I’ve been missing suspense and mystery in my life.  Soooo…I turned to The Woman […]

Caution – Difficult to Put Down

February 4, 2017 by janetfaust 4 Comments

This book is fairly new territory for me as a reader who primarily sticks to science fiction, fantasy, and the occasional non-fiction book. Fiction set in our world, in current times, simply hasn’t been on my radar. But Resurrection Express enticed me with its cover, featuring the skyline of my hometown, and from the first couple of pages I was hooked. How this thriller compares to others in the genre, I really cannot say. If you enjoy action, lots of plot turns, suspense, and don’t […]
