settling in with my #fridayreads #thelast by #hannajameson when the world ends & you're stuck at a resort with a murderer hiding in the ranks of survivors... well, that probably makes the survival thing that much more precarious. #netgalley #books #postapocalypticfiction #novels #bibliophile #bookworm #novemberreads 📚 thx @atriabooks

in #books i've recently read was this gem of a #novella #PrimeMeridian by #silviamorenogarcia. so good i wished it were expanded into a #novel. mars is the backdrop & the hope here, as a young woman deals with poverty & socio-economic challenges that feel too close to current but also a reliable glimpse of the not too far off future (at least i tell myself it's future). #octoberbooks #instabooks #sciencefiction #shortfiction #bookworm #bibliophile #goodreads

it's a day of days! 😍 #lethalwhite is out & what i'm reading today. admittedly, i don't love this #cormoranstrike cover as it doesn't match my others but i'm all abt what's inside. we're beginning where we ended & i'm reminded how peeved i was that robin married that troll ⬇ first line (prologue): If only the swans would swim side by side on the dark green lake, this picture might turn out to be the crowning achievement of the wedding photographer's career. #novels #bookstagram #fiction #robertgalbraith #jkrowling #mysterybooks #bookseries #bibliophile #bookworm #septemberreads #curentlyreading #readingnow

i know my IG activity has been on the low side but here's an update on my #readinglife . when one #galley references the author of another arc in your tbr pile, it's going to be a good reading jag. #theaupair by #emmarous is fairly fab already then the cover blurb mentioned #katemorton & it so happens #theclockmakersdaughter is my next to read. i've saved these expressly for #vacationreading & don't foresee disappointment. random sidenote: white cover with bold black text seems to be a thing in #bookcover trends upcoming. i think i like it but i'm nervous of smudges, scrapes & stray marks. #currentlyreading #readingnow #novels #fiction #instabooks #augustreads #atriabooks #berkleybooks #bibliophile #bookworm #booklove

#finishedreading #theconfession by #jospain . told in three povs, it was riveting & full of great surprises but the last one was too cute by half & pulled this down to a 3 ⭐ from a firm, proper 4 ⭐ read. it had all gone so well & then 😕 i hate when that happens. i was so irrirated i put off writing my review. #psychologicalthriller #bookstagram #instabooks #novels #julyreads

i don't usually request more than two arcs from @netgalley at a time but i did this week & was approved very quickly for 4 of the 5 (1 remains pending & i'm so good with that). so my reading weekend is set. i've #finishedreading #theothersister by #sarahzettel & it's family dysfunction at King Lear or the Julians level. harrowing with very clever fairytale dissection thread. next up for me is #girlsnightout by #lizfenton & #lisasteinke . idk which will come after that but #inthevines by #shannonkirk & #afternightfall by #ajbanner will round out my immediate reads. thx to #lakeunionpublishing #thomasandmercer #grandcentralpublishing #readingnow #booklove #bibliophile #bookworm #fiction #julyreads #psychologicalthriller #allthebooks

#summerreading is in full swing for me so here's a multi book post about what i've #finishedreading recently. in #apocalypticfiction #TheBookoftheUnnamedMidwife by #megelison was terrifically dark & terrifying but engaging. the mc won me when her first instinct was to stockpile tampons & birthcontrol. beautiful cover too. in #psychologicalthriller #ThePerfectGirlfriend by #karenhamilton reminded me of Araminta Hall's Our Kind of Cruelty, where the demented one is the woman. tense & crazy! in #sciencefiction #alastairreynolds #ThePrefect was a great read in a world i was introduced to in a short story anthology i read earlier this year.in #mysterybooks i also read #CityoftheLost by #kelleyarmstrong . loved the setting. #booklove #bookworm #bibliophile #junebooks #fiction #novels #bookstagram #instabooks

#currentlyreading #theperfectgirlfriend bt #karenhamilton . it's taut with a main character that has me worried she'll cause a mid-flight disaster in furtherance of her goals (okay, the cover is adding to that foreboding). i'm still on a #domesticthriller jag & have been on a book buying binge as well as trying to deal with the pile fron my last book haul. #instabooks #junebooks #novels #britishfiction #readingnow #bookworm #bibliophile #booklove

#lyinginwait by #liznugent isn't my #fridayreads but only bc i read it so quickly days ago. it's #bookbirthday in the US is next week & if you need some messed up family dynamics & a diabolical sociopath in your reading life, get it. don't be me, the woman who bought it analog last year drom the UK & had it gathering dust until now. i've passed my copy off to someone i want to be as horrified & disturbed as i was after i'd finished. it's called being a friend. 😉 #junebooks #instabooks #novels #fiction #psychologicalthriller #mystery #finishedreading #britishfiction

my #fridayreads is #thebankerswife by #cristinaalger it's high finance on a global scale, lies, suspiscous death & disappearance & all the attendant risk & danger that comes with making corruption public. #currentlyreading #galley #arc #thrillerbooks #igbooks #novels #fiction #bookaddict thx to #putnambooks

my #fridayreads is #TheBookofM by #pengshepherd & though i'm only on pg 55 i can tell this is going to be great. thx to @williammorrowbooks for the arc. it's giving me the same feels as last year's The Space Between the Stars by Anne Corlett & Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel (which i read in 2016). apparently i'm a sucker for literary leaning #sciencefiction #postapocalypticfiction . i say literary leaning bc i don't want to put off any who aren't #literaryfiction fans.this is out in june & my plan is to finish this over the weekend. #bookstagram #maybooks #currentlyreading #bookworm #bibliophile #arcs #fiction #scifibooks #amreading #bookaddict

my #cozymystery loving ❤ squeed over #deathbydumpling by #vivienchien . it's 1st in the #noodleshopmystery series. #bookstagram # bookworm #bibliophile Cleveland girl, Lana Lee's a welcome heroine in this genre & i'm definately recommending this if you need a new cozy (i've recently actually finished two, i'd been following. finally & yay!). And if anyone has any other recs for cozies with poc sleuths, do let me know below.

mini #bookreview It's all go in suburbia! #WhiteLies by #LucyDawson s quite the coil of unreliable narrators roiling on a sand dune in a wind storm. I kinda loved that about it. I won't be giving spoilers on this one and have to give points to being surprised about the big reveal at the end. Dr Alex Inglis definitely stands as a reminder that having a one off shag when you're a married woman, away on a girls' trip is a epically titan bad idea. There's some first class awful behavior on display and it was a challenge for me to apportion my sympathies out equally. And I just couldn't look away. There are several nods to current events circulating around sexual harassment and what that means and looks like through the kaleidoscope of media. It's not pretty. While reading this it reminded me in pace of the programme, #doctorfoster Not that Alex was channelling Gemma but just the level of adrenaline flowing through the story and the awful voyeuristic feeling that it's going to all come crashing down due to some serious manipulations and no one is going to get out unscathed. So if that's your thing, this may well be too. Definitely recommended. #booklover #netgalley #bookouture #domesticthriller #britishfiction #aprilreads #bookstagram #bookworm
