October 2018 Book Club - One of Us Is Lying

I have been dying to read this!!

 

Number 53 on the wait list.

 

I went ahead and bought this one at Target last weekend. I've been wanting to read it, so I'll probably jump into it after September's book which I have already started.

 

Oh! Yes, I want to read this book too.

 

Sept 1 - I'm #30 on 10 copies.

 

Yay! Just notified my digital hold is available from my library! Downloading now!

 

I'm #6 so that should be quick.

 

I might just stop trying with september's book. I put this one on hold, and went for the english version this time. I like the blurb about this book, so here's to hoping!

 

October 2 - I'm #10 on 12 copies. Apparently my library bought 2 more copies (I LOVE my library) so hopefully I'll get this before the end of the month!

 

Seeing this is the new posts made me realize we have two books with a form of the word "lie" in our fall book list here. I just started the other one, The Last Time I Lied, yesterday.

 

Bart would never lie!


(Justine is enjoying this book and about 70% through - it reminds her of the Riverdale series a bit on netflix and definitely has parallels to Reconstructing Amelia with the high schoolers - and yes, she's oddly started talking about herself in the third person)

 

Kissed the frog ...

 

I'm on page 83 of 373 Kindle-for-iPhone pages. It has got me hooked enough to have read a little of it most every day this week.

edited several days later when I realized I was confused again by the two books with lied/lying in their titles. I read The Last Time I Lied this week. Haven't started this thread's book yet!

I finished this the other day. I'll be back later to type in white but I'm gonna have to self impose a ban on me for suggesting books that have a high schooler die in it - back to back with Amelia, fictional & all, it was too much by the end - it was good but y'know too close to home with DD now 13 to feel like escapist fiction; that said, the book I'm audio-ing is also about teens but a dystopian where they get to resurrect someone on their 18th b'day so maybe it's the combo of all 3

 

I'm done! I picked up the book at the library yesterday and finished it this evening. So it's a quick read!

I'm with you Justine @bellbird I didn't read Reconstructing Amelia but I did just finish The Last Time I Lied so I've had enough murder mystery for a while! Plus this one delves into some very heavy topics. But it was well written enough to keep me wanting to turn pages and find out how it happened. I actually guessed correctly pretty early on, though I wasn't confident until just a chapter before the characters figured it out. And then I was horrified by the idea because it went further than I imagined. I like how the characters developed. And I like that there wasn't too much sappy romance and the ending was a good balance of realistic and romantic.
