I really thought I'd be caught up by now, but no ... Just starting.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm glad you didn't hate The Virgins. I obviously liked it more than you did, but I also really loved the author's writing style. Sometimes that can make or break a book for me.<br /><br />I really liked In a Dark, Dark Wood as well. <br /><br />Many of these books are already on my "To Read" list, but I didn't realize The Roanoke Girls isn't going to be released until February. I wanted to move it up the list, but I couldn't find it on my library's website. Now I know why. <br /><br />I laughed so much over your review of Behind Closed Doors! I'm on the waiting list for it and I still want to read it, though now my expectations have been considerably lowered. Haha. And, if nothing else, sometimes a shitty book is good for a fun review. I always find reviews so much easier to write if I didn't like the book.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14757174923718324262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-78386303470147070832016-09-15T12:54:18.577-04:002016-09-15T12:54:18.577-04:00Everyone is talking about Wayward Pines this month...Everyone is talking about Wayward Pines this month and I'm torn between holding out and wanting to read it. <br /><br />Honeysuckle Girls sounds like I may need to that to my TBR.Teh Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13715128040792877195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-5220499508890076202016-09-14T21:20:18.577-04:002016-09-14T21:20:18.577-04:00In a Dark Dark Wood is on my list but I may just h...In a Dark Dark Wood is on my list but I may just have to break down and buy it because the reviews have been so good. <br /><br />The Roanoke Girls has me so intrigued!

...Added the Honeysuckle Girls; sounds interesting. <br /><br />Thriller—even if there's a suggestion of a thriller-type premise—books are generally not my speed; I admit I'm a total chicken and get nightmares really easily. It took me like two years to work up the courage to read Gone Girl, and that was mostly because FOMO.<br /><br />I only read 1.5 books since last linkup so I didn't post this week, but I can't wait to join the two year anniversary party next month!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-49901508533878339522016-09-14T09:32:16.962-04:002016-09-14T09:32:16.962-04:00Woah, looking into Roanoke Girls and Moscow Gentle...Woah, looking into Roanoke Girls and Moscow Gentleman.

I'm with you. You know I liked Cabin 10 so I want to add Ware's other book to my TBR. Also I finally listened to the podcast for Girls on Fire last night since I finished the book and really, I should listen to the podcasts first since you guys kind of warned people that it wasn't so great.
