What I am planning to read this week…
I have started two books – The Vanishing Season by Joanna Schaffhausen ( a police/procedural mystery) and The French Girl by Lexie Elliot (psychological thriller). I have been interested in both of these so far! I also plan to read Little Broken Things by Nicole Baart (NG) and Silent Companions by Laura Purcell (EW- A Victorian ghost story!) Trying to squeeze in The Good Daughter by Karin Slaughter (own) if I can manage too! It will be my first Slaughter book.
What I finished…
Silent Lies was my favorite of these! (Review posted tomorrow).
What I bought/received/downloaded…
I bought City of the Lost (NEW hardback Amazon 7.19) so I could start this series from the beginning. She has a new book, This Fallen Prey on NG that I am hoping I get approved for! I also downloaded Strangers (NG), Look for Me (EW) and The English Wife (NG)! I picked up Worry Less, Live More from a library sale (who can argue with this title!!) I was able to buy The Night Circus (New paperback paid .69) and Fly Away (new hardback/paid 1.50) from a local thrift store! Super excited as they were both on my radar. None of my friends will go “book” shopping with me because they say I stay too long! Well, what do you expect when you find bargains like these!!
Aren’t Kristin Hannah’s books great romance novels? I’m actually a bit excited that you’ll read a Karin Slaughter novel for the first time :-). I haven’t read this one yet but you can’t go wrong with her :-). Great and interesting titles on your list. Happy reading this week!

I may be able to help you with the lighter reads! I try to alternate between dark and light or I get into a funk😆

The Christmas Holly Martin book I just read was a (very) sweet romance too, a little racy at parts though. It’s for request from Bookouture right now. Christmas at Mistletoe Cove.

I look forward to your thoughts on the vanishing season. I have that on my TBR.
For romantic suspense I really enjoyed At Close Range by Laura Griffin. 😊

Oh thank you Zoe, I’ll look Close Range up! Vanishing Season is actually very good (but still a “serial killer bk) a bit on the darker side, well written.

It’s good to see you enjoyed Silent Lies! I’ve been wondering whether I should request a copy myself. I hope you’ll have a wonderful week!
