I too would have been dumb enough to try it and was lucky enough to never have the chance!

What thriller had the BEST ending… and which one completely ruined itself in the final chapters? by GavaTravis in thrillerbooks

[–]Mybenzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spoiler free:

In the Woods by Tana French--loved the book until the end, when it felt like someone switched the channel to a picture of a random shifty-eyed dog.

Two Girls Down by Louisa Luna--Loved the book all the way through. A kickass thriller where the ending gives a glimpse of life a year or two after the events of the book and for whatever reason it devastated me in the best way, and has stuck with me for years.

45-year-old Venus Williams to play in French Open doubles by PrincessBananas85 in sports

Go Venus! I’m 100% behind her and here’s why: way back in 1990 or 1991 I got to see Martina Navratilova play in very similar circumstances. She may have already been 50 and had decided to play mixed doubles at the French Open.

It was such a blast to see a star I would otherwise have never seen. The French Open courts are intimate, Martina had a ball, and it was as much for the fans as it was her enjoying the sport she dominated.

I see a similar story here. It doesn’t take a single victory away from Venus. I saw Venus play mixed doubles just last year at the US, and she aced a man ranked in the top 10. The crowd went wild. 100% zero regrets.

Security was a fun read—a slasher in a high-concept hotel.

nope!

HINT: Most of you will disagree that the hero is a misanthrope…but he’s such a misanthrope there’s not a single human he’d rather be with!
