Riley Sager's Lock Every Door

This book was published on 07/02/19 by Penguin Group Dutton. This is my third Riley Sager book, but it's the first one I've read. I actually ordered this as part of my Book of the Month box, even though I was lucky enough to get the book early from NetGalley.

Jules has lost everything. Her job, her boyfriend, and her apartment, all in the span of a few days. Broke and worried, she finds an ad for an apartment sitter in the paper and applies. This turns out to be for the The Bartholomew, one of the most prolific apartment buildings in Manhattan. She is given very simple rules-no visitors, no nights away from the apartment, and no bothering the famous residents. She strikes up a friendship with one of the other apartment sitters named Ingrid, and discovers they have similar pasts. When Ingrid goes missing, Jules starts to investigate her disappearance, despite many warning from people in the building. She begins to unravel a deep and secretive history, putting herself in danger in the process.

THIS.BOOK.WAS.SO.FANTASTIC. I couldn't put it down. I would stay up late reading it until I could physically not keep my eyes open anymore. Riley Sager is a genius. I loved the ending and all of the twists and turns it took to get me there. I'm currently trying to read down my NetGalley books and once I do, his other two books will be among the first ones I read. Go pick up this book. You will not be disappointed!

Is One Truly the Loneliest Number?

I was given a digital copy of One? by Jennifer L. Cahill. She reached out to me through Twitter, and she was so sweet. I couldn't wait to dive into her book.💙 The Plot (From Goodreads): It's London in the mid-noughties before Facebook, iPhones and ubiquitous wifi. Zara has just moved to London for her first real job and struggles to find her feet in a big city with no instruction manual. Penelope works night and day in an investment bank with little or no time for love. At twenty-eight she is positively ancient as far as her mother is concerned and the pressure is on for her to settle down as the big 3-0 is looming. Charlie spends night and day with his band who are constantly teetering on the verge of greatness. Richard has relocated to London from his castle in Scotland in search of the one, and Alyx is barely in one place long enough to hold down a relationship let alone think about the future. One? follows the highs and lows of a group of twenty-somethings living ...

First Post-Here We Go!

This is still a little insane to me. Last week I wasn't even thinking a Bookstagram would be possible for me, let alone a blog! What if I'm not interesting? What if my reviews are terrible? What if I actually have BAD taste in books? I guess we're going to find out. Follow me. Be patient with me. Grow with me. Let's explore as many amazing stories, wonderful authors, and unforgettable books as we can! 💙

Less is more? An honest take on Less, by Andrew Sean Greer.

I finished this book and immediately thought, "I wish this wasn't going to be my first book review." What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? Let's see if that's true. The plot is interesting enough. Arthur Less is a failure. He's a failed novelist. He's also a failed lover, proven by the wedding invitation from his ex that shows up in his mail. The love of his life has found someone else to love. What does he do, as a functioning adult? He accepts invitations to participate in literary events around the world in an attempt to avoid the nuptials. Less travels to Mexico, Italy, Germany, Morocco, India, and Japan in an effort to avoid his grief. This is a love story, a satirical look at Americans abroad, and an honest, if not painful look at relationships and how they progress over time. Sounds entertaining enough, right? This book was 260 pages and I felt every single one of them. I trudged through th...
