Books #12 Reading Chats

Oh I didn’t realise there was 2 this month! Not sure what else to go for

 

[ToxicPony]

I thought The Stroke of Winter sounded good so got that one, not sure if I want a second but the selection this month seems better than usual? Can't wait to not read this and delete it in a year's time.

 

[Shutterbug99]

I've heard a lot of good things about The Last Girl to Die - currently 99p.

A few of the First Reads sound promising this month. The Stroke of Winter looks like it might be a good spooky read for Halloween. Will read up on the books a bit more before I make my choices.

I went for The Edge and Over Her Dead Body.

I fancied Critical But Stable but was put off that it said I had been published under another name previously. I want a new book not an old one.

Happy 1 October guys aka new monthly Kindle deals. *Just* three for me this month

 

[Marylou]

I went for Well Behaved Wives and Over Her Dead Body for Prime 1st Reads.

Currently reading Last Night by Mhairí Mc Farland and I've skimmed a bit already.

I went for Dirt Town by Hayley Scrivenor (thanks @Caffeine Fiend) and The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager (thanks @vanilla cupcakes)

I feel like I’m drowning in things to read/listen to atm because I have a free trial of Kindle Unlimited, three month discounted Audible, and I finally got signed up to BorrowBox and Libby recently.

Not that I’m complaining obviously

What did you think? I did feel like you’d mentioned or recommended Skint Estate before!

 

[SaintLeo]

Am I the only person who doesn’t bother with First Reads? I’ve got so many books already on my TBR and wish list that i do really want to read, the thought of adding even more to the pile stresses me out!

Had a quick scan of the 99p offers...


True Crime Story by Joseph Knox. I read this last year. Its written in quite a strange way but I did enjoy it. The ending wasnt perfect for me but they never are with thrillers. Im a hard person to please.

The Push by Ashley Audrain. I loved this one. Very tense and uncomfortable.

Books Ive bought that I liked the sound of. All 99p

The Ex Hex - Erin Sterling
What Happens in Dubai - Sophie Gravia (read the first one so my toxic trait is I need to read the 2nd even though it wasnt v good)
Pretty Girls - Karin Slaughter (this has got rave reviews on Bookstagram)
The House Across the Lake - Riley Sager
The Herd - Emily Edwards.

Delighted The House Across The Lake is 99p I'm a big fan of Riley Sager love all his previous books

I’ve had some amazing reads this month! Asking For It especially has been one I’ve thought about a lot since finishing. I’d recommend any of these! (I’m including A Little Life because I’m 93% through and not letting it take up half my month and not be included - hoping to finish it tonight)

Nah I do! Free books! Plus you might find something really really good!

I usually don't bother. I think this month's selection looks quite good though. I usually don't see much that interests me on First Reads.

I loved Rock Paper Scissors!

 

[ScoutFinch]

I’ve gone for The Stroke of Winter and The Quarry Girls for first reads.

I’m also really enjoying making the little monthly wrap up pictures As I usually read on my kindle I never really notice the covers on my books but I am now. I’m only 5 books away from hitting my annual goal of 100!

Ooh I’d forgotten about this yesterday…

80% through Sorrow and Bliss but I’ll finish today. It’s had mixed reviews here and I see both sides. I want to love it but there’s something missing for me and I can’t put my finger on what it is.

 

[pixxyy]

I read just the 3, Caraval, Legendary & The Weekend Away but i'm aiming for a few more in October.

 

[D.W's Library Card]

4 from the wishlist in 99p deals and more yet to be discovered no doubt.

I’ve been struggling with my reading for a few weeks Aiming to finish The Paper Palace, am I missing something or is it seriously overhyped?
