My reading is questionable, and yeah, if anyone cares, I have started the Kristin Hannah books with The Great Alone. It’s not going as I hoped. I finished it, and I have a better feel for Home Front, but we will see; the issue is that I’m a character-driven reader, not a plot reader. I … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 22 →

So I asked ChatGPT to recommend a thriller, and it suggested The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides. I wonder how it picked that one, because something tells me it wasn’t as random as I'd hoped. Anyway, it’s a novel I have been wanting to read, so I did. I wanted it to be twisted, as … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 21 →

My reading plan is out the window: *window* is a hint at the book I picked for today. Now, it could have a window on the cover or as part of the title. I feel that most people who love the thriller genre have read this. I was going to do The Woman in Cabin … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 20 →

I don’t know what the author was thinking while writing my current read because I’m 78% in, and the whole book they did one single thing (have sex). I will keep reading since I’m curious if they will move from that room in the end. I will make a wheel with random words and pick … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 19 →

This should be my wrap-up, but as is my brand currently, I’m late and behind on posts. I'll have time next month since I think I’m doing poetry month, which will free up some time for my to-do list. I figured this would be an easier post to do, sorry. Weird reading fact is that … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 18 →

First Lines Friday is a weekly feature for book lovers that was formerly hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines? Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 17 →

I’m worried about the blog storage space, but it will have to wait for now since I don’t have a solution yet, apart from deleting posts, which I don’t want to do. Maybe this is a question for ChatGPT to answer. For today, I have two books in mind, so doing a random spin of … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 16 →

There are two things that both readers and writers have in common: the love of words, and when we start a story, we don’t really don’t know where it will take us. That’s my rant for today. I was going to do a list of trans rep books I wanted to read, but as a … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 15 →

First Lines Fridays 13

You know how I have been enjoying this meme, for lack of a better word, is grab a random free book off Amazon, something that I don’t know a ton about, but has elements I might enjoy. Last week, it was the trans character and the thriller. This week, it is the beautiful colours on … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 13 →

The plan I had for thrillers didn’t work, but I’m keeping them because I know I want to read them at some point. In fact, I grabbed another one that I found on Amazon, and I believe it is self-published for the simple reason that it is badly formatted, or however you say it. I … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 12 →
