Invisible by James Patterson and David Ellis
Question is, why do you have to read 25 thrillers before December? Lol
@Carissa 5 different book clubs
@Leslie I don’t think I would ever want to read a thriller again after having read 25 in such a short period of time lol!
The Girl Before by @JD, and The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware.
Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter
The Wife Between Us
sometimes I Lie
Behind Closed Doors
Behind Her Eyes
Ink and Bone
I let you go
@Diane lisa Unger, B.a. Paris, Karin slaughter all great . So is Anne Frasier
A Noise Downstairs by Linwood Barclay, some of his other books are also great, some are psychological thrillers some aren’t. The Promise Falls Trilogy is my absolute favorite and Trust Your Eyes is what got me hooked on reading his work!
@Kensley every one on this site recommends him
He must be really good. Is A Noise Downstairs a good one to start with?
@Leslie yes! It is his most recently released novel. I highly recommend it, I read it in about 2 days. The Promise Falls trilogy has 4 books and a novella (Final Assignment). I read the first 3 books in about 5 days. I am about to read the last book, and the novella I read in a very short amount of time in one day. All of his books are good, though, those are just my favorites. His writing sucks you in and I haven’t read a book of his that I didn’t like.
@Kensley Thank you so much
I’ve read all of his books, just finished A Noise Downstairs and loved it. He’s one of my favorite authors.
Killing Kate by Alex Lake
@Lidia wanted to read that
I randomly picked it up in the library before holiday and really enjoyed it. Well written with amazing twists!
Because you loved me
??
The 7 and a half deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle was good
i just started this, I’m only 2 chapters in but I’m bored so avoiding picking it up, does it get better then? Xx
@Nikky I think it does. I also liked it from the get go though so it may not be a good book for you. I’m a big believer in not wasting time on books that bore me Soo…lol. Maybe read 2 more? If you still hate it then be done lol
Good idea lol I’ll do that and see what happens ?
Oh, and The Chalkman. It’s a short, quick read with good twists
@Jessica want to read that
I read it in one sitting. It sort of had an IT vibe because of the way the story is told
Read some Sue Coletta maybe?
@Amanda Havent heard of her . Thanks
@Jordan have it. But haven’t read it
Reading this now. So good!
I enjoyed this one
The black book
Twisted.

Something in the Water and I just read Then She Was Gone which was very quick!
Gerald’s Game and Intensity
Trevanian’s Shibumi.
This question is perfect for me to answer! The death of Mrs Westaway by Ruth Ware, any mo Hayder book but especially the Devil of Nanking. If you can tolerate a bit of horror try hex by Thomas Olde heuveldt and the outsider by Stephen king. All of Gillian Flynn’s books. Sharon (also goes by S.J.) Bolton’s books especially her first 3 books: sacrifice, awakening, and blood harvest. Also her books daisy in chains and little black lies. Odd Thomas series by Dean koontz. A Noise Downstairs by Linwood Barclay. The last time I lied and final girls by Riley Sager. Joyland by Stephen King. The Storm King by Brendan Duffy. All of the books by Wendy Webb.
Omg how could I forget Night Film by Marisha Pessl, one of my favorite books EVER!
Just read Thirteen by Steve Cavanagh…you won’t be able to put it down…
@Suzanne Thanks
My question is this…Why set a limit of how many books you read per year? And why stress over not meeting the quota you set for yourself? I read for me when I can and don’t worry about how many I read a year. I personally think this idea is silly. It should be about your move of reading and not about some silly quota you set for yourself.
@April it’s for 5 different book clubs
Where Sleeping Dogs Lie by @Luc don’t miss it, every time you figure it out your wrong.

Shutter Island, but it’s not fast.
The Doll’s House by MJ Arlidge
25? Oh my. You have your work cut out for you. I really liked Shutter Island by Dennis LeHane.
I lLoved The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson. So unpredictable and just finished it last week, and immediately ordered all other Swanson novels
@Donna, I loved this book. I’ve recommended it several times.
The Obsession by Nora Roberts was really good. If you don’t mind YA, Kara Thomas has 3 and they great and fast paced. The Darkest Corners, Little Monsters, and The Cheerleaders.
25 in 6 weeks? What’s the rush?
4 a week. Doable but I feel like it’s a rush for those types of books. I usually have to take a break with a fluff read after a dark read.
@Debra m, I get that. I also have to alternate light and dark.
Why?
Why read 25 ?
@Mocha book clubs and there are 5 different ones
Does that take the fun out of reading when it is competitive or like a task , rather than a pass time of pleasure
