Kill All Your Darlings by David Bell reminded me of another recent book about a professor publishing a book written by a student. But there are some differences. "Connor Nye is an average professor teaching creative writing to young, impressionable college students. He has recently published a best-selling thriller. The only problem is - he didn't write it. The student who did write it disappeared so Connor took it and claimed it as his own. Now she's back and wants the money from the book. Or she will expose Connor as a fraud. And the police want to talk to him because there are details of a murder in the book that are strangely similar to a real murder - and the police want to know how Connor could possibly know these details unless he was there..." This is my first book from Bell. He has an easy-to-read writing style. He keeps the tension pretty high in the story. Similar to so many thrillers today there are dual timelines. You have a decent idea about where the book is going. There are several clues that may help you guess who the killer was and is (they stay busy) I like the resolution. It's not a happy ever after but it works. Good summer beach thriller from Bell. Thanks to @berkleypub and @netgalley for the advanced copy. And thanks to @wherethereadergrows for including me on this book. #killallyourdarlings #davidbell #berkleypublishing #netgalley #wherethereadergrows #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #bookhoarder #bookworm #sodacityreads #bookish #bookreview #hardcover #bookcover #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #goodreads #homelibrary #fiction #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ1JHv3rro5/?utm_medium=tumblr

I had never read Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls. It was never assigned in school or recommended by the librarian I saw every week growing up. It’s the story of a boy and his love for his coonhounds. It’s about perseverance and knowing when to push back against the bully. The determination of a young boy to be self sufficient. About dealing with grief and tragedy. The ending is very emotional. Anyone who has ever said goodbye to a fur friend will understand. I listened to the audiobook and finished it walking Nelson (our rescue dog) Luckily no neighbors saw me bawling my eyes out. Thanks Chandra @wherethereadergrows for recommending this one. It’s juvenile fiction but there’s plenty of adult lessons to learn. Have you read it? You should. #wheretheredferngrows #wilsonrawls #wherethereadergrows #allthebookreviews #bravethebacklist #childrenslit #audiobook #libbyapp #anthonyheald #bookstagram #bookshelves #bookswithcharacter #bookhoarder #bookworm #sodacityreads #bookreview #hardcover #bookcollector #bookaddict #bookhaul #bookspines #homelibrary #fiction (at Ballentine, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4kdqzFg2wz/?igshid=1augjrwq9squ7

I’m a day early but here’s my spooky green stack for #wtrgstackattack Not sure how spooky it looks or how much it reminds you of Frankenstein but there’s some excellent reads there. It’s a brisk 96 degrees here in SC so we’re struggling to get into an Autumn mood. All of the pumpkins are melting #wherethereadergrows #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #bookhoarder #bookworm #sodacityreads #bookish #bookreview #hardcover #novel #bookaddict #bookcover #bookhaul #bibliophile #goodreads #homelibrary #fiction #crimefiction #thriller #bookstack #greenbooks (at White Rock, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3IDoeKgbvA/?igshid=hv0w843fhy5r
