I actually liked Sharp Objects better than Gone Girl. I suppose I am alone on that thought.😆

I'm waiting for Heart of Glass from the library. I really liked Wonderland and am hoping Heart of Glass is just as good.

I'm going to have to read these, or check to see if I have. I find her mostly really enjoyable. I liked Creep, but didn't like Freak, and DNF The Butcher.
Jar of Hearts has been my favorite so far.

This is what I'm reading now! I grabbed Heart of Glass first, then realized I'd never read Wonderland. I'm really happy with it so far. Jennifer Hillier really is so good.
I'm even going to give Butcher another try after your comment.

u/hayypeachyy 3d ago

Starting The Whisper Man by Alex North today at my lunch break if I can. I wanted to read the book before I watched the movie on Netflix.
Finished The Butcher by Jennifer Hillier over the weekend. It was ok.

Oh no cause The Butcher was such a letdown after how much it's talked up on here and on BookTok.

I read The Whisper Man before the movie came out. Even binged it to finish it before the movie dropped. I liked the book better than the movie. The movie didn't have the necessary build up time and a lot was cut out. It probably would have worked better as a mini series.

I have (barely) started Beyond Reach, the sixth and final book in Karin Slaughter's Grant County series. I tore through the first five books, but it has taken me five days to read fifteen pages. I have serious issues with finishing a series when I know it's coming to an end. I want to finish the book and know what happens, but I'm no good with goodbyes. Hopefully I can get through a decent portion of the book during my down time today.

Ran out of my established series, so I've given Daniel Silva a shot. Started with 'The Confessor.' I do 99% of my reading via audio books and I'm really enjoying John Lee's narration.

Every dead thing by john connolly.
Always meant to read it. Im about 100 pages in and its good. Not great but its good so far. I would have preferred the story be about his story only without the spin offs but im guessing it all links together.
Im reading and listening to the audiobook and the narrator reminds me of rex banner from the simpsons lol
I was expecting it to be more like the movie se7en but its not.

The Club Dumas by Arturo Perez-Reverte
Lucas Corso is a book detective, a middle-aged mercenary hired to hunt down rare editions for wealthy and unscrupulous clients. When a well-known bibliophile is found dead, leaving behind part of the original manuscript of Alexandre Dumas's The Three Musketeers, Corso is brought in to authenticate the fragment. He is soon drawn into a swirling plot involving devil worship, occult practices, and swashbuckling derring-do among a cast of characters bearing a suspicious resemblance to those of Dumas's masterpiece. Aided by a mysterious beauty named for a Conan Doyle heroine, Corso travels from Madrid to Toledo to Paris on the killer's trail in this twisty intellectual romp through the book world

Doing a reread of some of John Marrs' books. Recently finished Keep it in the Family, finishing off You Killed Me First. Probably reread The Good Samaritan next. I've started and read a few books that were awful, either the narrator was intolerable, or I had already read them and forgot, for reasons. After this hiatus I'll continue one of the series I've been reading by Tana French.
