    I just saw Razorblade Tears in a free library today and didn't grab it but looked at it for a long time. This was my sign, going back for it.

    Some of your 5 star reads are also on my list so I’m not going to mention those. Here are some of my 5 star read: The Girl with the Louding Voice, Symphony of Secrets, Perfect Peace (very hard read but worth it), Hurricane Summer, One Summer in Savannah, Someday Maybe, 32 Candles, The Dust Bowl Orphans, Solito (audiobook), The Thing About Home and recently released Sweetness in the Skin. Ok I’ll stop there lol

    I always like/love Fredrik Backman books. I assume you read A Man Called Ove….(that was my introduction to the amazing F. Backman- I think it’s a 5 star for me). The Nightingale was a 5 star read for me. I’ve read some of the books you talked about, and I’m adding some to my REALLLY LONG TBR list. Happy that The Measure is #2 on my list!! I think I might be moving it to #1 and The Bee Sting can go to #2. Thanks for another great video. I hope your eye feels better soon.

    Okay Razorblade Tears is an easy 5 stars, but All The Sinners Bleed.....6 stars! That book came after way too many poorly written, problematic, BS thrillers and SA Cosby, a damn lyrical poet of an author comes in with the serial killer thriller to end all serial killer thrillers? *chef's kiss* He's a master.

    Ooh I read Razorblade Tears at the end of last month and loved it. Am going to be reading ALL his other books. All. Of. Them. I loved Black Cake, I have not watched the show, pleased to hear it did it justice… Ooh I might start the show tonight. Allegedly was amazing. I need to read more of her books. The Nickel Boys broke me. The Rachel Incident is a book I’m soooooo excited for. It’s on its way I believe. Honor also sounds amazing. Too many amazing sounding books… that I haven’t got my mitts on yet. Lol.

    I loved Razorblade Tears. It's one of my all time favorite books. Wrong Place Wrong Time was so different. I enjoyed it but found that listening to the audiobook helped with all the time jumps. Another favorite of mine is All My Rage. It's Young Adult but it is so powerful and beautifully written.
