TOP 10 THRILLERS EVER!! 🔪 | Literary Diversions

[@faerietalereads]

There is no one else on booktube who can convince me to add a book to my tbr the way you can Lianne!! 😅even books I thought I wasn't interested in sound so exciting when you describe them! I just adore you! ❤️

[@jguidry94]

The books I've read, I 100% agree with. Those I haven't, are now on my TBR.

[@brooke5258]

You sell every book so passionately. I want to read all of them!

[@Christine-jg2ch]

Stillhouse Lake was amazing! I read it on your recommendation earlier this year 💕

[@byhellsstandard1366]

Jane Steele has been sitting on my bookshelf for... years. I think I might have to finally actually read it. You made it sound amazing!

[@eendju]

Haven't read any of them, but quite a few made it to my TBR. Thanks!

[@56callalily]

First I have to say I recently found you and love your videos! With my work I have had mostly 14 hour work days since November of last year. I love getting off work and finding a recently uploaded video because they lift my spirit! I have noticed what little I have been able to read lately is heavy in the Fantasy and Middle Grade genres. I have really been craving a good fast paced thriller and then you posted this video! Yesterday my daughter wanted to go to our local bookstore and see what Manga they had and as I perused the markdown books I found The Lost Man for $6.97! Also yesterday was my first day of vacation and I hope to read The Lost Man at the pool this next week and add to the atmosphere by feeling the physical heat! I also got The Family Upstairs from my local library. The rest are on my TBR and library hold list. Thank you for the recommendations!

[@kr5088]

I want to read all these books, I’ve just added them to my “ want to read” list on Goodreads. My go to books have always been crime and fantasy, you have now made me want to read thrillers 🙋‍♀️

[@lisag618]

Excited by your list! I also loved Shutter Island. Also LOVED Dead Girls that I read because of you...an amazing read. Yessss to The Family Upsatirs, another fav of mine too. Read Sweet Pea because of you! Obvioyusly I HAVE TO read The Lost Man. Thanks for this, I have found some excellent books because of your fab vids :)

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Howwww did you manage to do this?! I could genuinely never whittle down my favourite thriller! I bow down to you, my Queen! 👑

[@racheltfisher]

The Family Upstairs is such a good one! I have just added a bunch to my goodreads TBR so thank you Lianne!

[@kathievolk6128]

7/10 books read because of you!!! Dozens more not on the list that I have read because of you!! Keep them coming!!

[@patriciamello7006]

Thanks I loved this video. So many books to look forward to now. You're the best.

[@NakiasHideaway]

It made me so happy to see Stillhouse Lake at the top of this list! It's also one of my favorite thrillers of all time. And now because of that I need to go read so many others on this list. Love your channel & your joy for books! 🖤

[@Georgesmomsu]

So many fantastic books! Just added Stillhouse Lake to my phone for my 7 hour drive on Friday. Going to reread The Good Daughter and The Lost Man. I forgot how much I loved them. Great video.

[@barbaraedwards8410]

Absolutely loved dead girls, I picked it up after your recommendation. Everyone needs to read this book

[@elinluhedlindahl4608]

We have such simillar taste in thrillers, I read most of them and totalt agree with all youre thaughts an feelings about them. Really great list!

[@MsReadsAlot]

How did I not know Shutter Island was a book adaptation!?! So many books added to my TBR. Great video

[@leavesofmaple9860]

I’m not normally a mystery/thriller reader, but I gave Sweetpea by C.J Skuse a read and absolutely LOVED it! I would not have picked it up, if I hadn’t watched you recommend it relentlessly lol Currently looking for recs for fun thrillers of the same caliber!

[@AbiofPellinor]

Brb adding 10 books to my tbr!

[@maartjedegroot9598]

I’ve read a couple of your list including Lost man. I loved it too, but my favorite thriller is I am Pilgrim.

[@Roads_in_Autumn]

I second The Good Daughter, that was an excellent read! You've sold me on all of these, but especially Sweet Pea. Jane Steele has been on my TBR for awhile now. I've added Dead Girls and Stillhouse Lake.

[@miriamblouw]

Love this list so many authors i love. Will read the others because your recommendations are close to the ones i enjoy

[@zara6472]

I am not a big thriller reader but you convinced me to buy Stillhouse Lake (which I still have to read) and I will definitely be picking up Jane Steele. On the fence about a few others but will give them a go if I find a good deal on kindle as you talk so highly of them!

[@the_reading_apprentice]

I've read one of them (Sharp Objects), and I completely agree with your assessment on it! The other nine are absolutely going straight on my TBR!

[@lynnbarbato1551]

I want to read allllll of these!!!

[@sarahbarden4135]

There are quite a lot of these I have not heard of and I am currently adding them to my cart to purchase! I did just get Stillhouse Lake love Rachel Caine! I read Sharp Objects. It had some trigger issues for me but it was still very good!

[@snazzym00se]

I love thrillers and I need to read all of these! I love your arbitrary lists!

[@booksoverbreakfast]

Rhiannon's obsession with her Sylvanian family is the best part of Sweet Pea. I would google images of the toys and always LOL

[@KerryAnnGL]

Oh gosh I watched Shutter Island when I was 12 years old (it had just come out - I am young). My older cousin rented it from blockbuster and it gave me nightmares. Every time it is mentioned I cringe up, but honestly still appreciate it because even scared dead I needed to finish it.

[@Mamatanner1992]

I found your channel in 2019 & the first video I watched was a review of The Lost Man. Your excitement caused me to immediately order it and I devoured it as soon as it arrived. It was my favorite book of 2019 and is still my first recommendation when someone asks me what they should read. Love your channel & book recommendations.

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

Ooh now I need to reread Dead Girls cause I remember I loved it and can’t quite remember that ending!

[@booksandbargains]

Oh my god, I totally agree with sweet pea!! I have read in bloom and dead head and while I'm invested in rhiannon I've been disappointed by them

[@fionadonohue572]

I have just got Sweet Pea from the library because of this video. I'm intending to get the others I haven't read over the next while.

[@amy_harboredinpages]

...my brain is now rocking out to Eye of the Tiger... thank you Lianne for the start of my Saturday morning Brain Playlist! 🤣😂🤣🤣 I read Jane Harper because of you! And totally agree that the Aussie atmosphere is so different from American or British crime mysteries. I've experienced a visceral feeling of the place described in both The Lost Man, and The Survivors. I am hoping to have the same experience when I finally pick up The Dry.

[@1Koriander]

Oh, I just love Lisa Jewell's novels!

[@thefrenchbookdreamer7745]

Thank you so much for this video ☺️

[@jenniferastwood405]

I just bought several of these books! This video came at the perfect time. I've been craving a good thriller!! Thank you!

[@theadora1693]

Oof, Shutter Island. There are many books and movies that I have been trying to look at differently recently, which has been harrrd. There are a couple of movies I loved as a kid that now it's like, ahhh people with DID, Delusional Disorder, personality disorders in general, and other mental illnesses that aren't more accepted are depicted as violent, murderous, always 12/10 on their symptoms, and just. I've been thinking about it a lot because I recently was diagnosed with BPD and have been trying to do more education on personality disorders and how they show up in media. And it's like, I'm not trying to say it's a bad story to tell, those twists feel intense!, but it's hard when that's the only representation we get with these kind of disorders. So, as I know mental health is really important to you, I was wondering what your thoughts are on the mental health depictions in Shutter Island. I only ever watched the movie, and if I understand correctly, it was also set in the 50s? BUT yes, I would love to know how you felt about that part of the book! (or really, mental health in thrillers in general) However, if that's too intense (especially for the comment section) I completely understand.

[@agneskrob]

So so so excited to finally get this video. I guessed maybe The Dry by Jane Harper as your favourite, but I definitely agree I prefers The Lost Man just that little bit more. So stats wise 6 of these I have already read based on your recommendation, 2 I have bought based on your recommendation and are waiting to be read, abs the other

[@teaindecember]

I just added so many books to my TBR, thank you!!!

[@edwardsjarje]

Woo hoo! Here I was looking for someone to keep me company and you come along!!

[@HouseofHannah]

*Sees new video from Lianne. Stops everything, opens Goodreads, and clicks on video* YESSSSS !! 💗

[@playsintraffic2]

I haven't read any of them. Library borrowing and Amazon wishlist now getting full.

[@aed2069]

Yay! Proud QLD’er here! Have you read or watched The Dry by Jane Harper?? A rarity whereby the movie packed an even bigger punch than the book!

[@justdeb6091]

I read Sweet Pea on your recommendation and really enjoyed it. I don’t think I’ve read anything else quite like it. I have 3 others on your list on my TBR, lucky me.

[@jennderqueer]

So I just added ten books to my Want To Read list... :D

[@Yvette.T]

LOVE a good thriller! I listened to Dead Girls on audio...broke my heart 🥺 Sweet Pea will always be a favorite, along with Lisa Jewell. Most of the others are already on my list 🤗

[@ExpressionBunny]

Ok, so I'm just going to go and order all of these books...

[@KathyTrithardt]

_Sweet Pea_ has been on my wishlist for AGES. It sounds so good, and good to know that maybe I should not read the following books.

[@Amylaseable]

The Lisa Jewell one was on my radar and after your pitch I tossed it onto my kindle like it was nothing. And then came sharp objects this was was von my shelf and I pulled it from it. And then the lost man! My mum has recommended it to me last year and gave me her copy and I still haven't gotten around to it. Maybe I do that now. Because damn girl all I wanna read is thrillers now. Ok Bye📚💜

[@Lemonade_Stand_]

I see that Stillhouse Creek is the 1st of 5 books in a series, have you read the other books? Are they as good as the first?

[@crazyforbooksandcoffee]

Had a few of these already now added the rest to my TBR 🙂

[@BooksandSushi]

Ooo what a great list, I will be sure to refer to this video for my next thriller! I’ve always meant to read The Woman in White!! The Lost Man sounds so good ... set in my home state QLD 🙈 the outback is forbidding like you’d never want to go on a big road trip without supplies for real 😂

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

YES LOVE THE GOOD DAUGHTER AND THE FAMILY UPSTAIRS

[@StaceyReads]

My absolute all time favourite thriller is Confessions by Kanae Minato!

[@agneskrob]

The other 2 have gone into my to be bought list. I will always read any thrillers you recommend. You could tell me your Take Away menu is thrilling, and I will read it. I can’t decide what my favourite of all time thriller is, but would highly recommend The Son by Jo Nesbo. Thank you so much for making this video

[@careyfletcher694]

I'm not typically a thriller reader. However, your excitement about these books has me thinking seriously about picking up several of them.

[@liloulux2739]

I am absolutely not a thriller reader, but I bought "Sweet Pea" because of you. Very excited to get to it in June. Greetings from very cold and very wet Germany 🥶💦

[@Tinahgirl83]

Count Fosco is the best villain of all time outside of Darth Vader for me.

[@sheilar06]

The Lost Man was an epic read for me too

[@elizabethanne1632]

OK, I DNF'd Stillhouse Lake (the daughter was annoying?) but you've convinced me to give it another try!

[@baibalai]

Have you read The Last House on Needless Street? It does something that I think you might appreciate. But it's one of those that you need to know nothing about before reading.

[@traceybuchanan9153]

Have you read The Child Finder by Rene Denfeld it's one of my favourite books ever

[@k.s.thompson5766]

EVERYBODY SHUT UP! I couldn't click this fast enough. I have heard so many good things about "The Woman in White" that I somehow ended up with two different editions on my eReader. The "Sharp Objects" TV series was very well done. Wish I had read the book first, but there ya go. I see that "Stillhouse Lake" is a series - have you read any of the others?

[@osakaskuam]

I came here to ask the same question about Stillhouse Lake, so yeah. I hope we get a reply!

[@AnEmbarrassmentofBooks]

Please read The Good Son by Jeong You-Jeong - DO NOT read anything about it first, though! Amazing psychological thriller.

[@lauracorsi3309]

I didn't love The Family Upstairs. It was okay but just meh. I kind of hated the ending as well. However, Jane Steele sounds amazing and I would also love the read The Lost Man.

[@SrtaMiette]

I love The lost man, I loooooove Jane Steele and I DNFed Sweet pea, all your fault. I'm more of a whodunnit mystery than thriller reader but those 3 sounded good to me, 2 out of 3 is not that bad.

[@melindaforry644]

Great video! But I’m a scaredy-cat. Can you do another with the spoilers? 😁 Please say hi to LWH and her adorable dimples!😊 Thank you for always brightening my day!!!

[@AJ_Dunn]

Gone Girl was WAYYYY better than Sharp Objects. Sharp Objects was predictable. I'm definitely interested in checking these others out.

[@michelle.planteachread.413]

Fab video. But ouch, the basket is getting heavy.... I have read and loved The Family Upstairs and Jane Steele.

[@shatoj]

I adore the good daughter but nothing can surpass pretty girls for me. Also how did I not know about dead girls? I have to pick it up.

[@jess2424ica]

The Woman in White fans unite!

[@KristenReads]

I'm sorry, you said you ALMOST never carry out your own kill lists? So you sometimes do... 👀

[@AnastaciyaSh]

Found out today that Rachel Caine passed away in November 2020. I liked her other books, and am absolutely devastated :/ definitely going to read the Stillhouse Lake series.
