Some parts were a touch slow/repetitive. I figured out the final twist about halfway through- and it was unreal- I was so anxious to see if I was right I could not put it down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/read-any-good-books-lately-4#post-2607340 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 14:25:27 +0000 Bao 2607340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: how did you like The Good Girl? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/read-any-good-books-lately-4#post-2607338 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 14:24:52 +0000 youboots 2607338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Good Girl.</p> <p>A thriller similar to Gone Girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/read-any-good-books-lately-4#post-2607312 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 13:50:00 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2607312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: I didn't know that.

But it was still good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/read-any-good-books-lately-4#post-2604970 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 17:18:34 +0000 MrsKoala 2604970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: yes!

There are two other two co-authors, but I forgot their names. It's a three part comic book series. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/read-any-good-books-lately-4#post-2604963 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 16:56:54 +0000 AnnabelleG 2604963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree- Invisible Bridge is amazing! I had my mom and husband both read it and they were in love too. I just read Unbroken (nonfiction, WWII), it was really interesting. Speaking of Ann Patchet, Truth and Beauty and also Bel Canto are amazing books. For a light and wonderful read, anything by Rainbow Rowell, especially Carry On. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/read-any-good-books-lately-4#post-2604936 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 16:13:27 +0000 IRunForFun 2604936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: I think my mom gave it to me as a gift and I ended up lending it to her and my sister and they both loved it!! It looks like she does have another book out called Bellman and Black. I'll have to check the library!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/read-any-good-books-lately-4#post-2604915 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 15:45:20 +0000 erinbaderin 2604915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: I enjoyed it!

It is beautifully written and deeply engrossing. And terribly sad, of course. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/read-any-good-books-lately-4#post-2604844 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 14:09:31 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2604844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: loved that book!! </p> <p>I'm currently reading State of Wonder by Ann Patchett. It's pretty good so far. Not riveting but good enough to want to know what happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/read-any-good-books-lately-4#post-2604842 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 14:09:20 +0000 Silva 2604842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: how was rich and pretty?
