I’ve started the first DS Nathan Cody book after seeing it mentioned here. Really enjoying listening to it so far. Can’t wait to drive to work so I can listen to more.
I blitzed through all of those books in one long weekend. I'm a sucker for a detective series and I particularly enjoyed this one.

I have only read Don't Make A Sound but I found it so hard to put down that I finished it within 2 days. I definitely want to re-read it at some point though.

I finally read a good book! The average to bad book run of 2025 is over!! I read Such Quiet Girls by Noelle W. Ilhi and I could not put it down!! I was reading it through the night when. I couldn’t sleep then said last night I’d read for ten minutes then sleep as I wasn’t feeling too well l but ended up reading for 90 minutes so I could finish the book. Easy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for me!
Do you know that book is loosely based on a real life incident? I will put the name in spoilers just in case for others
I heard the author talking about this book on a podcast -https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_Chowchilla_kidnapping
 
I’ve started reading Emily Henry, book lovers and I’m struggling to get into it. It’s the first of her books that I’ve read, I’m about 100 pages in and half feel like I just need to keep going but don’t know if I can be bothered, so anyone who’s read it, should I continue?!

Ooh no, thank you! I’ll go dive down that rabbit hole now.

Thanks for reminding me about these! I listened to a few and enjoyed them then forgot about them 🤦‍♀️

I am not! A worthy ambition but I see A Little Life on the list and I know I'll never manage it, since even the cover makes me feel sad.
The cover of A Little Life just makes me annoyed. I didn’t actually mind the book (didn’t hate it, didn’t love it) but I had to read it on kindle as I couldn’t bear looking at the damn orgasmic man or whatever the duck it’s called.

I’m back! Been off this thread for a while because life has been life-ing but I have been reading. I recently finished Alice Slater’s new book - let the bad times roll. It was quite repetitive and there were too many characters - although that is my own pet hate in books - even though there were barely any characters - frankly what is the point of Richard? And max? It made me miss New Orleans terribly though, and now I want to go back. I gave it 3 stars.

I need to catch up on this thread, I haven’t read in a while because my slump has been long 😂
I finished Atmosphere the other day, have to give it a 3* unfortunately which I don’t usually give TJR
am I heartless to say I would’ve preferred the ending where she died? It felt too twee at the end
Agree about the ending for Atmosphere.

It also was just so anticlimatic and abrupt. Like oh, look. They made it! The End.

Ooh interesting, we read her debut Death of a Bookseller for my IRL book club last month and didn't really rate it at all. A good idea but not well written at all and just generally tedious. I don't think I'll rush out to buy this one :ROFLMAO:

I read it last week- my first Emily Henry book. I really enjoyed it; I reckon stick with it 🙂

Thank you! I read a little more last night so will keep going, it’s also my first Emily Henry read and had heard good things so I purchased a couple from vinted, I think the other one I have is happy place.

I’ve read both. They are both Officially OK. An easy read but not exactly great art.

Hey all, I’m currently reading The 5am Club which I am finding interesting but can’t wait to finish so I can start Beartown!
I also have found a book club local to me which I’m going to try and start going to! This months book for them is Believe Me by JP Delaney. Has anyone read this ? I’ve never read anything by this author before so will try and pick up and read hoping I can attend the next one.

I always do the reading year challenge on Goodreads but I am trying to get better at the little individual challenges through the year to make my reading more varied.

I like J P Delaney books and have read quite a few of them. Easy reads that I find quite quick to get through.
I gave Believe me 3/5 stars.

I do! Although I finished a book that’s in two of the current challenges yesterday and I still haven’t got the bookmark for it *huff
