I read THE NEST,which I liked  very much, I know a lot of you read it last year and. I hadn’t gotten into it at that time. Interesting plot,and what happens when we count on something that is so many years away and how it effects each one. Also like how they were after at the end too. Middle part of the book was the personality of each,also a bit of the morals and the desperation to keep and not loose was insightful. PS I liked  Bea the best.

My January reads...it was a good month!

The Woman in the Window - great thriller that I didn't figure out...love that!

An Unwanted Guest - loved this thriller also...very easy quick read and great story

Where the Crawdads Sing - one word...masterpiece!!!

Family Trust - kind of a Crazy Rich Asians knockoff...didn't hate but didn't love

Something in the Water - Another good thriller!

Convenience Store Woman - quick, cute book about a quirky girl and her convenience store job

I finished "Three wishes" today". I really enjoyed the book. I loved the relationship between the sisters, parents, friends, and significant others. It was not a we all have a perfect life because we are triplets. Several issues were addressed, infidelity, abuse, divorce, and others.

 I will definitely read more from this author.

@icezeus  I am so happy to read this!  I'd point you next to "The Last Anniversary," which I adore too.  What I love about Liane Moriarty is she's a great writer and rises above chick lit with he issues, you nailed it on the first book. 

"The Last Anniversary," I absolutely love that book.  I love Scribbly Gum Island. Whenever I hear or write the name I can smell the marble cake and hear the kookaburras (went on line at the time to hear their calls!).  It's a terrific story.

@smoky22  and with apologies to anyone who also read and recommended this book:

"The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle" by Stuart Turton has won the UK's prestigious Costa Prize for 2018's Best First Novel.  

I have a few books in front, going to finish up Rick Wilson and read Flavia natch, but I'm even more excited to read it now.

For those who are interested in the U.S. the title is "The Seven and a Half Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle."  Smoky can explain why!

Last night I finished The Little Shop of Found Things by Paula Brackston, I enjoyed this book.  Mind you, you have to keep an open mind as it deals with Time Travel and a ghost, but I still enjoyed it!

Next up Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford, my friend really enjoyed it, and told me I would too.

Will post my final review when I finish!

I looked up the name of her second book last night and  wrote it  down on my TBR list.  once I get through the stack of books that I currently have at home from the LIbrary I will be requesting this one.

Thanks for the great recommendation.

@appmJames Rollins has been on my TBR for years.  I think this might be the year I start reading.  So many books!  I'm wishing I had multiple lives.

Love James Rollins.  So far I have read, War Hawk, James Rollins and Grant Blackwood, Amazonia, The Devil Colony and Blood Line.  I slowed down on my reading for a while, time to pick it up again and looking forward to more of his works.
