The Defense (Eddie Flynn, #1)

Steve Cavanagh

The truth has no place in a courtroom. The truth doesn't matter in a trial. The only thing that matters is what the prosecution can prove. Eddie Flynn used to be a con artist. Then he became a lawyer. Turned out the two weren't that different. It's been over a year since Eddie vowed never to set foot in a courtroom again. But now he doesn't have a choice. Olek Volchek, the infamous head of the Russian mafia in New York, has strapped a bomb to Eddie's back and kidnapped his ten-year-old daughter Amy. Eddie only has 48 hours to defend Volchek in an impossible murder trial - and win - if wants to save his daughter. Under the scrutiny of the media and the FBI, Eddie must use his razor-sharp wit and every con-artist trick in the book to defend his 'client' and ensure Amy's safety. With the timer on his back ticking away, can Eddie convince the jury of the impossible? Lose this case and he loses everything.

Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

Olga Tokarczuk

In a remote Polish village, Janina devotes the dark winter days to studying astrology, translating the poetry of William Blake, and taking care of the summer homes of wealthy Warsaw residents. Her reputation as a crank and a recluse is amplified by her not-so-secret preference for the company of animals over humans. Then a neighbor, Big Foot, turns up dead. Soon other bodies are discovered, in increasingly strange circumstances. As suspicions mount, Janina inserts herself into the investigation, certain that she knows whodunit. If only anyone would pay her mind . . . A deeply satisfying thriller cum fairy tale, Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead is a provocative exploration of the murky borderland between sanity and madness, justice and tradition, autonomy and fate. Whom do we deem sane? it asks. Who is worthy of a voice? Duration: 11 hours 39 minutes.

Foe

Iain Reid

A taut, psychological mind-bender from the bestselling author of I’m Thinking of Ending Things. We don’t get visitors. Not out here. We never have. In Iain Reid’s second haunting, philosophical puzzle of a novel, set in the near-future, Junior and Henrietta live a comfortable, solitary life on their farm, far from the city lights, but in close quarters with each other. One day, a stranger from the city arrives with alarming Junior has been randomly selected to travel far away from the farm...very far away. The most unusual part? Arrangements have already been made so that when he leaves, Henrietta won't have a chance to miss him, because she won't be left alone—not even for a moment. Henrietta will have company. Familiar company. Told in Reid’s sharp and evocative style, Foe examines the nature of domestic relationships, self-determination, and what it means to be (or not to be) a person. An eerily entrancing page-turner, it churns with unease and suspense from the first words to its shocking finale.

Unreliable Narrators Request 👀

Okay. I reread the first 17 Dresdon Files books and then #18 and I’m in a post binge funk. I need a palette cleanser.

I think I need a book with a really good unreliable/untrustworthy/bad guy/gal/pal narrator that is going to really pull me in.

Books with this vibe that I’ve read:

The Dinner by Herman Koch Th1rt3en by Steve Cavanagh (this is a series apparently? Should I read the rest?) The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose The Silent Patient by Alex Micharlides

Probably some others but these come to mind 😅🙂

Any ideas?!

Thanks friends!

Out of Time (The Time Police, #6)

Jodi Taylor

The Time Police are accustomed to jumping to the past. This time, however, the past has come to them. What connects a dead dinosaur with Romulus the founder of Rome, a shocking cover-up at TPHQ and a plot to murder the Princes in the Tower? The Time Police are determined to find out, helped - and occasionally hindered - by a wayward member of St Mary's and a recently reunited Team 236. Each in their own unique way, obviously. As if all that wasn't enough - something somewhere in the Timeline is wrong. Very, very wrong. What is the Time Map trying to tell them? Can the Time Police find the answers before Time runs out? BOOK 6 IN THE TIME POLICE SERIES FOR FANS OF TERRY PRATCHETT, RICHARD OSMAN AND DOCTOR WHO

Tempting to Re-Read for the Forum

Anyone else a little sad when thinking about the books you've read before you were on PB and now seeing those forums empty.

I have been revisiting some reads on audio so I am able to go back and comment or post in some of those forums which is fun. However now I am thinking about re-reading some of my favs that don't have any forum posts or very few.

A few off the top of my head I would like to post in the forums of would be; Asking for It by Lilah Pace Off the Clock by Roni Loren Neon Flux by Ava Thorne The Scent of Us by Elianna Lee Unlocked Dive by AK Blythe

What books would you want to re-read so that you can post or comment in the forums?

In need of a light and funny read

Hello boundlings !

I have read two heavy books in a row. And by heavy I mean the content (heavy subject) and emotionaly (definitely made me feel a lot of bad things). I loved both, but I need a reset 😅

So now that I have been emotionaly destroyed, I need a nice, light and cosy read. Except I don't do cosy reads xD

So I though "this is the perfect time to ask the community for some recommandations!" and here I am.

What is your favorite cosy book after a hard read ?

(I'm open to everything but I would prefer a book that make me laugh and relax without needing to think too much. I also want to avoid self help books or anything like that 😅)
