I have read 2 of his novels and 1 short story collection. I liked 1 novel and the short story collection.

Sure I think I have some of his books

Yes, I have heard a lot about this author. Harry styles reads his books. I do want to know what the hype is about.

Are you a Harry Styles fan? There are quite a few celebs who read and whose reading lists are available online.
We can do a what celebs read kind of monthly readathon at some point post the June readathon when all of you are less busy.

I like harry styles' music. I try not to get obsessed with celebrities which my younger self used to do shamelessly. Now I appreciate the art more.

And that's a cool idea..... We can do that. There are oprah winfrey and reethe witherspoon's Club on goodreads. These are pretty famous ones

I have actually already read 20 books this year starting from January. So I think I will reach 100 pretty soon😆

I am not enjoying Vicious. It reminds me a bit of The Shining maybe because of the genre. I didnt enjoy that one either.

I reached my 100!I'm slow, so this is a great feat for me.😆

Yeah, all fantasy books have that element that seems to be the same no matter how well it was presented. Was it the supernatural powers made you think of The Shining?

I started logging books religiously into goodreads three years ago. Before that I didn't really know how to use it. I remember downloading it and feeling disappointed as I initially thought the app had free books. Lol.

I don't think I will be able to read this month's book. I will read it next month for sure.

@bold: Same. I was so disappointed, I didn't use the app for the first 2 years at all😆

The Woman in Cabin 10 is engaging. If you have read many thrillers, it is predictable but a good read nonetheless. Amongst these, I really liked The Woman in the Window although I kind of predicted the twist. The Wife Between Us is slightly twisted and a little different, but again a good read. I haven’t read The Wife Upstairs.

Order of preference according to me -

1. The Woman in the Window

2. The Wife Between Us

3. The Woman in Cabin 10

I haven't read as many thrillers as I'd like to, but I can usually predict their endings but that's fine as long as the story was good and well-presented. Thanks for the recs, though! 😃

I have so many thrillers lined up for reading, it makes me wish I could give more time to reading.

Okay I can do that. I have a couple of popular graphic novels in mind, will choose 1 between them and put it on the marathon list.

Cool! Share all the titles you have in mind. If I like the one you choose for the club, I'd maybe give the others a try too.

Sure, I'd like to give it a try. Everyone seems to be reading his books these days.

I've been slow with every book this year except Vicious. I guess lockdown laziness still hasn't left me😆

Yeah, I wish we have shorter books until May too. That's exam time.
