    I started reading that last year but found it too hard to get into giving it up.

    Easy read. The horror stories will make your blood boil.

    Love a bit of morbid humour. Despite the humour though, I'm learning a lot from this book.

    Smoke gets in your eyes and other lessons from the crematorium by Caitlin Doughty.

    I LOVE Caitlin! I got to see her speak last fall and it was really awesome. Both of her books are 10/10 in my opinion but I loved that one better than From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death.

    Career of Evil by Robert Galbraith (J.K. Rowling). It's the third book in the series. Very good!

    I've been sick with a cold so have read quite a bit this week - silver lining? lol. Read all ten books in Elly Griffith's "Ruth Galloway" mystery series. It's very atmospheric, and she really grows as a writer during the series.

    Also finished "The Night Before" by Wendy Walker (got it as an ARC through the publisher) - it was pretty shallow, but a decent thriller. Same thing - ARC - of "Lock Every Door" by Riley Sager. Compulsively readable - can't recommend it enough.

    Last night I read "Cruel Acts" by Jane Casey and it was superb. If you like police procedurals, her Maeve Kerrigan series is to-die-for, and this is the best yet.

    I honestly have no idea what to read next so might hunt around this thread for some ideas...

    @seltzermint555 that's so cool that uoh got to see her speak! I have a lot of admiration for her & would love to be friends with her :) I don't know anyone else who knows about her. One of my co-workers did history at uni & I'm trying to get her to read the book so I can chat to her about it!

    The Nicci Chronicles by Terry Goodkind. Old fan, got hooked on Sword of Truth in high school. I am a little disappointed though, I was really excited for him to expand on Nicci's character, but its really not sucking me in the way I had hoped. I feel like he could delve really deep into her character, but he just isn't. He is also being super repetitive, you expect some synopsis in a series in case readers hop in on a middle book, but do I really need a recap of what happened a few chapters ago?

    I just finished The Lying Game by Ruth Ware and thought it was AWFUL.
    Now reading The Farm by Joanne Ramos.

    Do you watch her on YouTube? I had to ask, just in case you don't!

    I have a stack of books I've started and abandoned. My attention span these days is short.
    This promises to scare me, we'll see, I hope so.
