(slow reading month for me – I was in a massive reading funk, but luckily have clawed my way back. Linking up with Jana and Steph for SUYB)
Anxious People – Fredrick Backman // I am a huge huge fan of Backman – and this one surely didn’t disappoint. A book about a bank robbery gone bad – and relationships with people really. The character development in this book is amazing, and you find yourself getting super attached and interested in their fate. So glad this one was Lindsay’s Virtual Book Club pick.
The Shadows – Alex North // This is the second book of his that I’ve read, and it is so creepy and wonderful. I loved how sometimes I had a hard time discerning between real life and the lucid dreams, and there was in no way that I saw the ending coming. Such a good, make-you-look-over-your-should read. If that’s your thing, definitely add this one to your list.
The Other Mrs. – Mary Kubica // I cant’ really say much about this book, because I’ll give it away. It is very much a typical Kubica book – twisty, mental thriller type book, and I loved it. I can say I only saw half of the ending coming, and whew – what a doozy. If you’re normally a fan of her books, you’ll dig this one, too.
The Shadows is sitting on my nightstand and I’m really hoping that I’ll get to read it before I have to return it to the library! I’ve only read one Kubica and was somewhat meh on it but may have to give her another try,
I thought I read The Other Mrs but apparently I did not. Adding to list! I have got to get myself wanting to read Anxious People! I am in the mood for something light right now, so I am trying to get through Flatshare first.
Would you consider The Shadows like scary scary or thriller/suspense with some scares?
Definitely not scary scary – mainly more suspense with a touch of scary.
The Other Mrs.was fantastic! And I’m not a Mary Kubica fan, normally. It just sounded good.
I’ve had anxious people several times but never got to it before due dates – getting it again, I’m glad you liked it!
I have both of Alex North’s books and really need to read those soon!!!

I think I would like to read The Shadows. I like creepy.
Your descriptions make all of those sound really good! My TBR list is getting a bit too much help growing. LOL Thanks for sharing and enjoy your month!
