Happy New Year! And a Look Back at My Reading Life of 2019

I love Goodreads for tracking my books and for discovering new books to read and new authors to follow. I especially love how I can get graphics that let me look back on my reading year. 

It is always interesting to look back on the year via the montage that I can create for the year. It's like a trip down memory lane as I look back on all the wonderful books I read.

Take a look, maybe you'll find a few that you will want to add to your TBR list.

Recent Reads ~ Books That Lie

As I looked over my recent reading list, I was struck by how many of them are about lies, liars, and secrets. Is this just something that I have been drawn to recently or is this a 'thing' now?

Here's what I mean. These are the books that I've read in just the first three months of 2018 that are about lying, in one way or another. 

Are there any titles that you could add to this list? 

Here We Lie

....betrayal can lead to disastrous, and deadly, consequences

My thoughts

Tess and Tattoos

....centered around psychological manipulation
My thoughts

No Time to Blink

....devises a plan to deceive him

My thoughts

The Marriage Lie

....what else has he lied about?

The Good Liar

All these women are guarding important secrets

My thoughts

Best Day Ever

....a gripping, tautly suspenseful tale of deception and betrayal

Let Me Lie

....nothing is as it seemed

My thoughts

The Broken Girls

....secrets that were meant to stay hidden in the past

My thoughts

Sometimes I Lie

My name is Amber Reynolds. There are three things you should know about me: 

1. I’m in a coma. 

2. My husband doesn’t love me anymore. 

3. Sometimes I lie.

My thoughts

Before I Let You Go

....long-buried secrets from the sisters’ childhood

My thoughts

Manipulated Lives

Manipulators are everywhere

My thoughts
