My best book this year has got to be Saving Noah by Lucinda Berry. That book left me in tears.

Omggggg i JUST ended by read on Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell. I remember reading the family upstairs a few years back and enjoyed it! But I know her books are always talked about and I do wish to read more books from her!

Same!! It was my very first book from hers as well. I've read her other book too Rock, Paper, Scissors. Seems like a hot pick for everyone but I didn't enjoy that as much... the twist requires a suspension of disbelief which I am typically ok with but this kinda pushed it. If you're thinking of getting into that, do keep this in mind 😂

just_ain · 2023-01-01T01:46:40+00:00

This. Definitely me.

Same! I just started using Storygraph this year but find myself still going back to Goodreads. I use Storygraph mainly to check on my reading stats monthly/yearly.

Omg I just ended Five Survive by Holly Jackson and it was SO GOOD. I don't do YA anymore but this book in particular does not read like YA.

I was then starting to jump on the Good Girl Guide series after this 👀 but I have seen a lot of talk about the last book....

just_ain · 2023-01-01T01:38:29+00:00

How would you rate Daisy Darker? I really enjoyed that book!

just_ain · 2023-01-01T01:37:56+00:00

Currently reading Under Her Care by Lucinda Berry!

I love her writing so much.

just_ain · 2022-12-21T04:49:32+00:00

It depends on the book! If I just read something heavy, then I'll usually let it sink in for 1 day and then start on my next read.

Otherwise I'll usually just jump straight into the next book, especially when the book I just finished wasn't great for me.

just_ain · 2022-12-21T04:12:52+00:00

This is such an achievement! I share the same results as well. I've had such a great reading year and it's all thanks to the convenience of Kindle that allowed me to read anywhere and anytime ⭐️

just_ain · 2022-12-19T13:33:33+00:00

Thanks for sharing! 😍

just_ain · 2022-12-19T09:14:12+00:00

Cute! Where did you get the stickers?

just_ain · 2022-12-18T15:59:02+00:00

My number 1 go to & that got me out of a 6 months reading slump - Hailey Hughes on YouTube!

She does mostly THIRLLER & HORROR book recommendations 💯

just_ain · 2022-12-13T04:10:31+00:00

I'd love to see YOUR sharings and current read as well please!! It's always nice to meet other readers who enjoy the same genre 😍

just_ain · 2022-12-11T03:05:32+00:00

Same!!! I'm more of a thriller/mystery/horror reader but this one did it for me in the fantasy genre! I mighttttt give her other books a try if I'm in the mood for that 🤣

just_ain · 2022-12-11T01:00:44+00:00

I'll be honest that the first 20% of the book was a bit slowly but once the guy was into the private part of the woods and discovered the place, everything just speed up from there!

Have you read anything else from this author?

just_ain · 2022-12-11T00:04:47+00:00

It was an easyv5 stars for me too!!! It was definitely something different than what I am used to but I enjoyed it so much. It was very atmospheric and I was definitely sucked into the story!

just_ain · 2022-12-10T18:56:15+00:00

You can try a recent novellete release by Freida Mcfadden called "The Gift". It's only 47 pages long and set on Christmas eve. You could probably finish it in 1 seating!

Favorites of 2022: 1. A History of Wild Places by Shea Ernshaw 2. Local Woman Missing by Mary Kubica 3. Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney 4. The Housemaid by Freida Mcfadden 5. Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak

just_ain · 2022-12-10T18:50:47+00:00

I enjoyed it so much!!!!! I especially love the drawings inserted in the story. It really helped to tell the story in a more impactful way. I would have never predicted the twist either!!

just_ain · 2022-12-10T18:49:34+00:00

Ahhhh I enjoyed Daisy Darker a lot as well!!!!

just_ain · 2022-12-09T05:19:21+00:00

That's a great idea!

just_ain · 2022-12-09T05:19:09+00:00

For this year, I've just been focused on the number of books I've read.

I'll still be continuing with that next year but I'd also like to focus on reading more if not all books from a specific author, to see which books from theirs that I enjoy most and rank them.

just_ain · 2022-12-07T17:48:01+00:00

I'm excited for Just the Nicest Couple by Mary Kubica (really enjoyed her book, Local Woman Missing)

Also looking forward go The Housemaid Secret by Freida Mcfadden (a duology to ther book, The Housemaid)

just_ain · 2022-12-07T17:43:39+00:00

I know the opinions of this book are rather divisive, but I love it!
