Thrillerathon Summer 2019

Thrillerathon is a biannual readathon hosted by Harriet Rosie where we read thrillers for an entire week! For this round, the dates are 19th August - 26th August (so if you're in the UK this includes the August Bank Holiday)

Harriet has always provided challenges you can choose your TBR around, although there is no pressure to do so. This year is a bit different as there will be a bingo card instead! I'm so excited for this, it looks fantastic! Please see Harriet's announcement video here for all the information.

So you can be super ambitious and choose 9 different books, or meet several challenges with the same book. This is definitely the approach I'm taking! I'm also having mainly my current library checkouts as my TBR to help me get through those reservations! 

My TBR is as follows: 

1. I Looked Away - Jane Corry

• Thriller with a trope you love
• A new to you author

2. Lock Every Door - Riley Sager

• Your most anticipated thriller 
• Newest thriller on your TBR

3. Who Killed Ruby? - Camilla Way

• Shortest thriller on your TBR

4. Platform Seven - Louise Doughty

• An author you've read before 
• The thriller with the creepiest cover

At the moment I haven't officially picked anything for the oldest thriller on my TBR. It's technically The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware, so we'll see if I end up getting to that (spoiler alert - I won't have time!) 

And for a host's favourite thriller (see the video for more information) I would go with Sleep by C.L Taylor, but again, I doubt I'll have time to get to that. But you never know...!

WWW Wednesday 7th Aug 2019

WWW Wednesday is hosted by Taking on a World of Words where you answer three questions about your reading.

We've had the dreaded sick bug in our house this week - so far it seems to have escaped me and my youngest daughter (fingers crossed) although she's teething so that's a joy all of its own! It's horrible watching your child being ill though, so it's been an emotional and exhausting week so far.

What are you currently reading? 

I've jumped into No Further Questions by Gillian McAllister this week. It's the last one of her currently published books I have left to read and I'm so excited. I've absolutely loved her other three, and I'm already sucked into this courtroom drama. 

I've very nearly finished Never Have I Ever by Joshilyn Jackson on Pigeonhole - it's so good! Can't wait to see how it all wraps up. I really can't guess how it's all going to end, so a perfect thriller! 

I've also just started Take It Back by Kia Abdullah over on Pigeonhole. So far, the start of it has completely gripped me. It's such an intense read and I'm very intrigued to see where this one will go.

What did you recently finish reading? 

A Version of the Truth by B.P. Walter - this was absolutely fantastic. A 5 star read for me! You can see my full review here.

What do you think you'll read next? 

I've got two books in mind that I want to pick up next.

First is The Stranger Diaries by Elly Griffiths. I've heard amazing things about this book. I've read one of her Ruth Galloway books before and enjoyed it, but I think this one sounds quite different from that series. I've got this one currently checked out from my library so need to get to it soon anyway.

Second is The Perfect Wife by J.P. Delaney. I'm ashamed to say I've not read his previous two books under this name, despite owning both of them! But I do have an ARC of this book so will be getting to it very soon.

Please let me know your answers below, or share your blog post, I'd love to see what you've all picked!
