March AND April Reading Wrap Up 2024 • Thriller • Horror • Feminist Fiction

[@ReadingWryly]

I must be losing my mind. The Watchers is an M. Night Shayamalan film adaptation that IS NOT RELEASED YET as of filming. 😂 I just have a vivid imagination apparently.

[@AFrolicInTheTomesxx]

The watchers is an absolute fave of mine! I can’t wait for the movie.

[@ReadingWryly]

Yes! I think I said I watched the movie but I was delusional. Maybe the book just felt like a movie. 😂 Really looking forward to it though!

[@norwegian_booknerd]

💅🏻You’ve convinced me to read Natural Beauty! I’ve heard so many good things about it, and your review made me curious 😊 My favorite from April was Foe by Iain Reid, I’ll definitely be reading more from him!

[@ReadingWryly]

Yes! I love everything by Iain Reid!! He’s so good!

[@tammyd4208]

💄definitely picking up Jackal, A Better World, and Natural Beauty. Thanks for the recs!

[@ReadingWryly]

Thanks, Tammy. I hope you have a good time with them!

[@Seashells17]

Yes! Love your commentary! And your sense of humor! I’m gonna read Stranded and Bad Dolls and something else. Also, Natural Beauty. I like how you talk about older books, just not recent releases because I had seen the three books I want to read from months/years ago and FORGOT about them. Thank you!!😊

[@ReadingWryly]

❤️🙌🏻 Love to hear it! Thanks, Chris! I hope you enjoy them.

[@ericad3397]

I really want to purchase ring shout, stranded, listen for lie, bad dolls, the watchers and natural beauty 💄💋

[@ReadingWryly]

Quite the list! Nice!

[@MlleGhoul]

SO MANY good books here! I loved Better World, it was so weird --and weirdly mundane? like a bunch of weird normies? I don't even know what I am saying, but it's true!--and immersive (though thank goodness it was not as heart palpitatingly stressful as Good Neighbors!) And I too have really been sleeping on Ring Shout and Jackal--you have absolutely convinced me to grab them from the library ASAP. But dangit, they don't have Bad Dolls!

[@MlleGhoul]

I replied too soon! yes Yes YES 5 stars to Natural Beauty! That was a freaking amazing book, especially what was happening toward the end. GOSH!

[@MlleGhoul]

And can I just say! And I hope this doesn't sound weird. But when people are excited, truly thrilled and exuberant about a book, it is such a freaking joy to watch. And you exemplify that LIKE WHOA 💋

[@ReadingWryly]

Weirdly mundane is apt for Better World. And this makes me more excited about Good Neighbors too! Im telling you! Rachel Harrison’s stuff is hard to find for some reason. Is she under the radar?

[@ReadingWryly]

Awe! That’s such an awesome compliment! Thanks, Sarah! ❤️🙌🏻

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

Best wishes with your reading choices. I hope you get some great stories. Taking more than a month to read one. Currently at page 883 of the Count of Monte Cristo. Still got some way to go. Happy reading.

[@tressaischaptigued5422]

I read Stranded a couple years ago and loved it and my heart broke for Maddy and how she was treated!

[@ReadingWryly]

I don’t think I could have handled the gaslighting if I’d read it a few years ago. It was intense.

[@tressaischaptigued5422]

@@ReadingWryly I know lol. I just looked and I read it almost exactly 2 years ago. 5/13/22!

[@MattMilu]

“The Watches” was such a page turner. I couldn’t put it down!! 👀

[@ReadingWryly]

Took me a minute to get into but once I got into it, I was in.

[@amandacee113]

Definitely going to be ordering a copy of Ring Shout! 💄

[@ReadingWryly]

Yes! 🙌🏻❤️

[@al700000]

I listened to the Ring Shout audiobook. It felt so much like a video game to me and I’d love to see it made into one

[@ReadingWryly]

Oh wow. I can totally see it as a video game!

[@ronettewinston1706]

Great as always! 🫦 💄

[@ReadingWryly]

Thank you, Ronette!

[@samememe4997]

I really like Stranded and feel like no one is talking about, never hear it from any recommendation video, the plot is not that mind blowing but the writing style is so realistic and really make me stressed out, is a good isolated thriller

[@ReadingWryly]

Agreed!

💋💋💋

[@seanoconnor2865]

Mr. & Mrs. Smith is such a fun movie! Do yourself a favor. It's not a spy movie. It's one of a handful of movies I've watched 3x and I'm sure I'll watch it again. Knight & Day is similarly fun and rewatchable.

[@ReadingWryly]

I make no promises, but I will consider this. 🙈

[@OoLaLaFrenchGirl]

💋I've read The Watchers by AM Shine and loved the atmosphere created in that read.

[@ReadingWryly]

Yes it was creepy!

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

Nearly an hour long.. yay! 😄 I'm ready 📝

[@ReadingWryly]

🙌🏻❤️😂

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

i loved Bad Dolls. I got the physical copy from Blackwell's UK I think it was only 13 bucks and free shipping highly recommend getting that it's a super cute Edition.

[@ReadingWryly]

Good to know. Thank for the tip! ❤️🙌🏻

[@susiekidd9183]

👄 👍🏽 ✌🏼 Always enjoy your videos! 🥂 Cheers…. Just finished, “Funny Story,” which I found to be just ok. And just picked up, “Listen for the Lie.” I wanted to do immersive reading to listen to podcast elements. But, because Libby had a 20 yr queue, even tho I have half a dozen libraries hooked up, I went for your Everand link. Not sure I did it right but hopefully I got you the 30 days! It only offered me 30 days & had me sign up for both Everand & Scribd… it’s confusing!

[@ReadingWryly]

Oh!!! Thanks for letting me know! They must have changed it since they switched to Everand. I didn’t know you could even still get Scribd, I thought they were integrated. I’ll have to look into it more. Thanks again!

[@susiekidd9183]

Yeah, thanks for checking. Some things may still be in process during name change transition. The email confirmation came from the new Everand name, and I signed up via iPhone if that makes any difference.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I want to read listen for the lie, it sounds so entertaining!

[@ReadingWryly]

It was fun!

[@smurfette01]

Beautyland looks like my kind of weird 💄

[@tb-tk5sj]

I read The Passage by Justin Cronin….again!

[@bethmetcalf3447]

👄

[@KieranLikesCake]

That guy in Stranded might be my most hated character in any book EVER. I def want to check out more books by Sarah Goodwin.

[@ReadingWryly]

Yes. Infuriating!

[@dessertcomes1st]

Agreed! Do read The Yacht, it’s even better than Stranded.

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

A bird called The Yellow One... so.. Big Bird? 🤭

[@ReadingWryly]

Now THAT would be terrifying

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

​@@ReadingWrylylol I actually had a nightmare about Snuffleupagus when I was kid .. I loved The Count though 😂

[@CathyHarrison-bd8vi]

I tried to use your Scribd link for the 2 free months and 1 for you and it didn’t work for me 🙁. I was only offered 1 month free trial and nowhere did your name pop up after I hit your link. I’m sorry it didn’t work it’s a great deal.

[@ReadingWryly]

Thanks so much for letting me know! I’ll check in with them and see what’s up.

[@LavenderLydia]

Are there eating disorder triggers in the last book?

[@ReadingWryly]

Yes, I believe so.

[@LavenderLydia]

@@ReadingWryly Thank you! I'll be skipping it in that case

[@jamesbaird1342]

[@serisajohnson69]

Thanks for your recommendations! My library (cardinal system in NC- has access to many branches) has no Sarah Goodwin books!! 🥲 I really want to read Stranded but can't find it for under $15. I try not to pay over $10 for a book. I am also looking for Cackle by Rachel Harrison with the orginal cover. Again, none under $15. But I will keep looking!

[@ReadingWryly]

The struggle is real! Those are both hard to find books. Have you tried Pango?
