I reserved a Harlan Coben book at the library. It is a recent one. I didn't start the finance book today so I will start it tomorrow.

Is the book "I Will Find You"? It was published just last year and I finished it today. It was good though a very dark subject so there was little of the humor I always enjoy. Still a good read!

I am just about done with the Outsider. I messed up and ordered 2 books on hold for my next books. I have the last of the YOU series "For you and only you" and another SK book "If it Bleeds".

Reading things about if it bleeds makes me excited for the book, short stories book. I did watch Mr Harrington's phone, there is a movie coming out for Life of Chuck with some of my fave actors and it has a little more from the charter Holly.

I just finished another Harlan Coben book called "Gone for Good." It was published in 2002 so a little "old." It was amazing! Has to be one of his best! So many twists and turns all the way up to the last few pages. It has murder, the mob, love, disappearances, a psycho killer. Everything you need for an exciting read!

I am over half way through and I agree, it is very good - I stopped reading a 1:30 am and was tempted to keep going - will hopefully finish today. Thank you for the recommendation.

Just finished "In My Dreams I Hold a Knife" by Ashley Winstead. This is her debut novel. I had read another one and found this one. It is an incredible psychological thriller that is very dark which the other one was too. Her writing is amazing though with her character development creating complex and compelling people. There are two timelines in this book and the perspective changes from first person to third periodically. Our main character is Jessica Miller who is obsessed with being the best of everything. She returns to her college for a 10 year reunion determined to show her circle of college friends, known as the East House Seven, how successful and accomplished she is. But things do not go as planned. The unsolved murder of one of the group all those years ago still haunts them and secrets are revealed. It jumps back and forth in time to tell the story. This is a disturbing tale of love and friendship and betrayal and obsession. I couldn't put it down.

finished the Coben and also read Just Get Home by Bridget Foley, which again I thought someone here recommended and I can't find it in the search, so thank you to whoever did so - Gone for Good (Coben) was great and Just Get Home was also very good

I read "The Dark Hours" by Michael Connelly. It featured two of his series characters, Harry Bosch and Renee Ballard. The crime that had to be solved was home invasion and rape committed by 2 men which is a rare occurrence. Renee is a detective working that case and a murder so there is a lot going on. Bosch is the retired detective she asks for help. A good mystery and took place during the pandemic so many references to that. Connelly always gives you a lot information on police procedure so that was interesting.

We were going to watch the show Bosch, but I got put off by how many seasons there are. I did just watch Gilmore Girls and Seal Team, though and they were both long.

I loved all the Bosch books and have watched some, not all, of the show.

I'm going to finish Die With Zero today. I do have another book I bought for 99p of ways to clean your home in a green way so I might start that after.
 
I have been reading a lot of Kristen Ashley books - they are not for everyone as there is a fair amount of highly descriptive copulation in them - I like that and more importantly I love the way she writes - the characters are so vivid and so well developed as many of her books are very long and yet I always hate for them to end - she covers a wide variety of types of stories, some are vampires, werewolves etc (that is the series I am currently reading) and others are set in day to day life.

I am almost done with book one of a trilogy by Daniel Price called "The Flight of the Silvers." It is a big book at 594 pages and book two is even bigger which I also have as the library had them both. Book three has just been released and hopefully the library will have it by the time I get to it. It is a time travel, alternate universes sci-fi epic journey of a group of young people who have special powers. Their particular group is called the Silvers. It has some really crazy stuff and is really good.

There is a movie called Silver and the book of Dreams. Is the movie based on these books?

 
I finished the Silvers book and what a ride that was! I will probably take a break until tomorrow to start the next one. So much going on in this story with centuries old time travelers, time jumping portals, and lots of violence and killing as factions clash.

I heard a YouTuber talking about a book called Four Thousand Weeks which is the average amount of time we are alive! It is a self-help book. It sounds interesting so I will start that today.

Sarah J Mass - A Court of Thorns and Roses - I thought someone here recommended it and now can't find the post - not my typical choice and yet it held my interest and I believe I put the second in the series on Hold.

Thank you if someone did recommend it.
