My Early December Reads.

6 books in!

This month is going to be a little slower, but so far so good!

I am currently listening to “the Ex” by Freida McFadden and this weekend (tonight, maybe) I will read “The party” by Natasha Preston.

Andddd I will do another update next week 📚 #decemberreads #lemon8bookclub #letschat #reading #audiobooks

... Read moreOkay, let's dive a bit deeper into some of these reads, especially 'The Maze Runner' since I know many of you are curious! While my main article just showed the cover, I wanted to share a bit more about my experience with this classic Dystopian YA series. I've been listening to 'The Maze Runner' audiobook by James Dashner, and honestly, the narration by Mark Deakins is absolutely brilliant. His voice really brings the tension and suspense of Thomas and the Gladers' desperate struggle to life. If you're looking for an immersive listening experience, his performance truly makes its mark on the story, pulling you right into the labyrinth. It's not just a book; it's an adventure you feel like you're a part of, especially when you're caught up in the mystery of the Glade and the terrifying Grievers. Beyond 'The Maze Runner,' my December stack is packed with psychological thrillers that I think you'll love if you're into suspenseful reads. I'm talking about books that keep you guessing until the very last page! For instance, I've got 'All the Dangerous Things' by Stacy Willingham on my radar. Her writing always delivers a twisty, turny plot that makes you question everything. And speaking of twists, Freida McFadden is a master, and I've been eyeing 'Do You Remember?' and 'The Widow's Husband's Secret Lie.' Her books are pure addictive page-turners, perfect for cozying up with on a cold December night. Another author I always recommend for gripping thrillers is John Marrs. His 'Keep It In The Family' looks absolutely chilling, and I can't wait to see what secrets unfold within those pages. And for those who enjoy a bit of fantasy mixed with their suspense, Tahereh Mafi's 'Defy Me' and 'Imagine Me' are part of a series I adore. Her Shatter Me series has such a unique voice and compelling characters – they really leave their mark on you! Reading these books, whether in physical form or as audiobooks, has been such a wonderful escape. Each story offers a different kind of journey, from the adrenaline-pumping chase in 'The Maze Runner' to the intricate psychological puzzles in McFadden's and Willingham's works. I love finding little details that resonate, things that truly leave a 'mark' on my imagination. What genres are leaving their mark on your reading list this month? Let me know!
