Every once in a while I hit a few books in a row that I can't get into and that will usually halt me in my reading tracks. When that happens, I just enjoy the brain break and pick it back up when it feels natural to.

Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell - Oh, I loved this book. It was creepy but well written and totally nuts. Check it out. I love when I make the correct Book of the Month Club pick. Hardback, own
Passed the Time Just Fine
The Twilight Wife by A.J. Banner - I read a lot of books like these that require suspense of belief but this one, man. I am not sure how these people didn't figure this shit out before. Philly library paperback
A Stranger in the House by Shari Lapena - This was fine. Fine. I might need a break from the domestic thrillers between this one and The Twilight Wife. OCNJ library hardback
Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney - This book threw me for a few loops, which is always enjoyable. It was also really unpleasant in parts. OCNJ library hardback
All the Beautiful Lies by Peter Swanson - I quite enjoy his books, but I know not everyone does. There is a weird formality to his writing sometimes. I was left shaking my head at the end of this one. Philly library hardback

All the Little Liars by Charlaine Harris (Aurora Teagarden, #9) - I devoured this series years ago. I was happy to find there was a new one. Not so happy to realize I was no longer immersed in this little town and didn't like it much when I went back for a visit. Paperback, own
Saints for All Occasions by J. Courtney Sullivan - Her books always sound better in theory than they are in my reading reality. I feel like I pump myself up like you can like this one! And then I don't. That was the case here as has been in the past. She's not the writer for me, and that's okay - she's the writer for many. OCNJ library hardback
The Anniversary Man by R.J. Ellory - I plucked this off the shelf. I should've left it there. Philly library hardback
