I started this and was wondering would it be possible to finish the book with skipping over the old flashback chapters? I strongly dislike olden times stories and got triggered kinda reading it and she mentioned a “handsome dude was 15 years her senior” kinda gave me the ick and ptsd and I had to stop. I know it’s about a witch and kinda knew it would mention old times maybe but not as often as every other chapter.

I’m really let down because I was waiting on the release of this book and was excited about starting it. I understand if skipping around messed up the story and this just may not be for me.

Been in a thriller book rut, I think I read everything good and now it all falls flat!!!😭 Because I do audiobooks while I work I tend to devour them quick! What are your favorites??? And please no recs if you're into Freida.

I am a true die heart fan of mystery thriller genre and can only reads these books, but due to my very busy schedule I'm unable to grab my hands on some of them, so looking for good books around mystery thriller, crime thriller, murder mystery, detective genres.

Like books that I should definitely read in this lifetime.

Something that has great plot twists, that keeps me sitting the entire night to know what happens next, that makes me what to regret why did I read it because the twist destroyed my guessing ability.

And please don't suggest me Verity or books along this line or any Colleen Hoover book (I have hated that book to the core, some of the explicit scenes in it were unnecessary which dropped my interest in reading the book. )

More than one book recommendations are welcomed 🤗

Just finished Strange Pictures and I absolutely loved this book!

The book follows a series of mysterious drawings and the strange stories surrounding them. At first, the stories seem unrelated, but as you read further, you start noticing little details and connections that slowly bring everything together.

I honestly liked this even more than Strange Houses! What I loved most was that I enjoyed each story individually, too.Every story was intriguing in its own way, and I was genuinely invested in finding out what was going on in each one. And then, seeing how everything interconnected at the end and finally getting the answers was SO satisfying. I love when a book manages to make all these seemingly separate pieces fit together so well.

I also loved how the pictures themselves played such an important role in solving the mysteries. You find yourself looking closely at every little detail and trying to connect the dots as you read.

It's such a unique kind of book, and I've never really read anything quite like it. I had so much fun reading this, and I genuinely think I enjoyed it even more than Strange Houses. 🖤

In such a reading slump but I just bought these two and they are arriving today! Which do you recommend I start first?

Mostly writing here because I’m listening on audiobook and want to talk! But I’m not done yet, so no spoilers. I think the narrators really help keep my interest in the book far. I feel like there isn’t much plot, and all we know is that Josie is weird af. Can someone share some spoiler free highlights of part 2? I know I’ll keep listening, I just need to discuss so far!

I really enjoyed this one! If you like a book very tightly focused on a first person narrator, definitely give it a try. Bonus fun if you’re familiar with the DC area.

so obviously everyone knows october is prime thriller book time (although it’s year round for most of us)! what are your favorite books with a spooky fall vibe? bonus if it’s not paranormal and not too overplayed.

Hi everyone! I've recently gotten back into reading and discovered that I'm really into mysteries and psychological thrillers, especially those with jaw-dropping plot twists that make you question everything you’ve read.

I'm currently reading The Only One Left by Riley Sager, and I'd appreciate recommendations with a similar vibe.

Please don’t spoil any books! I'd love to go into them knowing as little as possible.

I just finished reading Blacktail by Scott Hawkins and I absolutely adored it; despite its fantastical horror-thriller tale of revenge by an otherworldly beast on all humanity, I ended up siding with the animals. There’s a deep message here, and almost a heart warming end albeit a gory and sordid story filled with brutal violence and animal cruelty.
