I personally loved it @itsfi @fatimamummy ! I'm not a hard critic tho.. I love all mysteries 😂
@jaaayp I finished it last night and I enjoyed reading it. I love that there wasn't any boring patch or unnecessary stretch. One of the few books where I wasn't able to guess who it was very early in the story. I hear there is going to be a movie on it and I will very much like to watch that as well.
Whaaaa @fatimamummy a movie?! I feel like they keep making movies out of good books and it's never as good as the book! But yes, I agree. I think it's one of those like "twist and turns". If you come across anything else amazing, please let me know! 🥰
I just finished this book. The book is a series of essays. I really found some useful information in the last essay that I could apply to my own life. I don't want to give too much away. However, this book is based on the life events of a child star turned writer. It is interesting to read her perspective. I would recommend this! It did take me a while to get into but I am glad I finished it!
@Mellmars1185, the title does draw you in; or it does me. That’s great that you connected with the last essay.
@itsfi , @Mellmars1185 That ! Title is enticing and now I want to read it too.
@itsfi My aunt recommended it to me! It is funny the title didn't cross my mind when I first started reading it! Thank you 😊🙏
Report back from slow reader 😂🤣 I really like both The Whistler and The Love of my life. The Whistler is very much classic John Grisham. The Love of My Life was recommended by our lovely @itsfi . I read Ghost from the same author but can’t decide which one I like more. The Love of My Life is faster pace than Ghost. Recommend both for good read. #! Lawyer by James Patterson is a disappointment. I feel liked it got dragged out. The story just went all over the place and hurry up pick a random ending at the last 50 pages. It’s probaby my least favorite book of the year.
So many great recommendations @blackkitty2014 My read list is growing longer and longer!
@blackkitty2014, great to hear you enjoyed it. I added the other book to my list and now The Whistler too - “classic John Grisham” - that’s all you need to say.
Never Lie by Freida McFadden
Oh, I love these types of books, thanks for sharing, @itsfi ! Of to add to my library wish list! 📚
Edit: Rats! My library only has it as an audio book without an option to request an e-book. I put it on my wish list anyway. It looks like this author has a number of these types (genre) of books (all audio books at my library).
@Titian06, this was the first of its type of book for me so when you get to reading or listening to it, I’d love to get your feedback on the story and writing and how it compares to other books you’ve read in this genre.
Absence of Grace by Ann Warner
@itsfi Thank you for sharing your opinion. I have seen this title but have not read any from the author. Alaska is an interesting place to set a story. Good to know you enjoyed it.
@Cissy63, it was a good, easy read. The storylines include topics that are thought-provoking and that did make me think about topics in every day life, some that relate to my own life and others that are less relatable but nonetheless significant. Agree, Alaska is not a place that you see as a setting in many books. Interestingly, after reading this book, I learned of a few friends and coworkers who went to Alaska or were thinking about a trip there.
I just finished this book. It is a quick read. Lots of action going on.
Main characters are women, a FBI Special Agent and an experienced archeologist.
But it gets a little offbeat when it takes a turn. The place is Roswell Area 51. And what they are supposed to have found and who would go to a huge extent to not let the secret out
I have read Lincoln Child as a single author and enjoyed them. And this is my third book by the duo.
They are both very good and keep the story moving.
Wow, your third book by Preston & Child @Cissy63?! That says a lot. 📚
@itsfi Oh yes. I have read this which is the third installment of the Nora Kelly stories. I have read the first installment which is Old Bones . And Relic, which is the first installment of the Agent Pendergast books. And I have read Lincoln Child as a single book author. He is a very interesting suspense writer ❤️
A very controversial book that I basically decided to read after seeing multiple heated arguments on instagram about it. I was not familiar with the author before and haven't read any other of her books except of this one book now and it's sequel. My daughter later told me it is a "BookTok" famous book and the author in general is considered very controversial. She hasn't read any of her books either so she was unable to give her personal opinion about it. The reason for this long statement is to clarify that I am not familiar with any of her other work or herself as a person or writer so any commentary I made here is solely about this particular book.
The Book is about Spousal abuse and domestic violence. Before offering my opinion I want to make sure if it is ok to talk about it? I don't want to start a discussion on it if it is an uncomfortable topic. Have you guys read it?
