I like books.
And cats.
I remember devouring Fool Me Once by @harlancoben.bsky.social  when it came out so I had to pick up Nobody's Fool when it came out! Past secrets leading to present-day trouble are always a winner. Love the mystery and suspense. Can't wait to read! @grandcentralpub.bsky.social #booksky #catsofbluesky

I've always wanted to read Robert Dugoni and A Killing On The Hill seems like a great place to start. A reporter following a murder in Seatle during the Great Depression and maybe biting off more than he can chew. Sounds like a lot of fun! @amazonpublishing.bsky.social #booksky #catsofbluesky

The new Alexandra Martel thriller from @steveurszenyi.bsky.social  came out in paperback this fall. I can't get enough of globe-trotting action thrillers and this one has a kick-ass heroine to boot. High stakes and high octane. That's just how I like 'em! @stmartinspress.bsky.social

The Quiet Mother is the latest Detective Konrad novel by Arnaldur Indriðason. Indriðason is one of Iceland's most accessible authors, writing stories mixing suspense, tragedy and featuring great characters. I am really looking forward to this one! @minotaurbooks.bsky.social #booksky #catsofbluesky

Happy to fill in another missing piece of my Will Trent collection! Fractured by @karinslaughter.com  is the second book in the series. Slaughter writes with a grit and intensity that is nearly unmatched in the genre. I love spending time in these books! #booksky #catsofbluesky

A high-stakes con, impersonation, and ratcheting tension. I love some good cat-and-mouse games, and First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston looks like a book that will keep me on the edge of my seat. Looking forward to diving into this one! #booksky #catsofbluesky @pameladormanbooks.bsky.social

Every so often I'm in the mood for a quirky, cosy mystery. Thus Was Adonis Murdered fits all the criteria! A young barrister, taking a vacation from her troubles in Italy, becomes embroiled in murder and must seek help from her fellow barristers to untangle herself. @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social

I love a good globe-spanning thriller, and the Garrett Knox thriller, 5 Minutes to Die by R J Patterson, looks to fill the bill! A wilderness expedition leader called back into service to hunt down a former friend accused of murder and treason. This sounds like a blast! Can't wait to read! #booksky

The Stand by @stephenking.bsky.social  is one of my favorite books. The End of the World as We Know It collects stories set in this world from a bevy of great authors! @meggardiner.bsky.social  @chuckwendig.bsky.social  @ronaldmalfi.bsky.social  @tananarivedue.bsky.social @timlebbon.bsky.social

The Twilight Zone was an imaginative series with stories that still impress and resonate 60 years later. I'm excited to read new stories that honor that legacy, written by some real heavyweights! @torbooks.bsky.social @whitleystrieber.bsky.social @lauralippman.bsky.social @joerlansdale.bsky.social

A standalone thriller from Phillip Margolin comes out this November! False Witness introduces defense attorney Karen Wyatt. Freed from wrongful imprisonment, and now with something to prove. Margolin writes fast-paced, interesting legal thrillers, and this looks exciting! @minotaurbooks.bsky.social

The new Gabriel Ward historical mystery from Sally Smith comes out this November! A Case of Life and Limb sees Gabriel hard at work on a libel case when a severed hand shows up at the Inner Temple. More parts follow, and it's clear the Temple is the target! @bloomsburybooksus.bsky.social

The Kindom trilogy by @dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social  concludes with This Brutal Moon, which comes out this December. This is hands down one of the best SF series I've read in the last 10 years. If you haven't read the first two yet, what are you waiting for?! @orbitbooks.bsky.social

The new novel in the Alien series looks intriguing! A reclusive billionaire who wants to visit the abandoned colony of New Providence to rescue an artist obsessed with dark and horrifying creatures. Alien: Perfect Organisms by @shaunhamill.bsky.social  out this November! @titanbooks.bsky.social

Happy to find some books I'd been curious about at The Book Deal, including The Maid by Nita Prose. This appears to be a smart mystery with an intriguing main character. Can't wait to read!

Who doesn't love a good thriller about a hitman? Assassin Eighteen by @johnbrownlow.bsky.social  looks like a lot of high-octane fun! Happy to find at a bookstore I hadn't visited before, The Book Sale.

Found a book I've wanted to pick up for a while and couldn't resist. The Grim Company by @lukescull.bsky.social  Action, battles, and a fun story. That's what I love, and this book looks like it will deliver! Excited to read.  @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social

I love legal thrillers. Grave Danger by James Grippando looks like a great one.  Jack Swyteck takes the case of a mother fleeing to Miami from Iran with her daughter and a father who wants her back—a fight in international court and a strain on his own marriage loom. @harpercollins.bsky.social

I couldn't escape this book on social media, and I understand why. Not Quite Dead Yet by @hojay92.bsky.social  is about a young woman who is attacked and suffers an injury that leaves her with 7 days to live. Jet has just enough time to solve her own murder! @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social

Caddyshack is a legendary movie that people have been discovering, rewatching, and quoting for more than 40 years. In Caddyshack: The Making of a Hollywood Cinderella Story, Chris Nashawaty goes behind the scenes with the tale of how this irreverent story became a classic! @flatironbooks.bsky.social
September 25, 2025 at 2:03 PM
Amazing to think of how many great, classic movies came out in the summer of 1982, one after the other. E.T, Blade Runner, The Road Warrior and more! The Future Was Now by Chris Nashawaty chronicles it all. Blockbusters, apparent failures, all classics. Love them all! @flatironbooks.bsky.social

One of the best books of the year has arrived! The Killer Question by @janicehallett.bsky.social is deliciously good! This is a must for mystery lovers! Check out the review: bit.ly/46QV8Wu @atriabooks.bsky.social

I love @janicehallett.bsky.social  's writing style! It's a unique method of storytelling using texts, app messages, police reports and news accounts. She manages to build suspense and add thrills in totally unexpected ways. I can't wait to read The Examiner! @atriabooks.bsky.social

What a great time to return to the Old Man's War universe with The Shattering Peace by @scalzi.com . It's been 10 years of peace, but trouble is always looming. Check out the review: bit.ly/422CcBr This is another good one! #bookthreads @torbooks.bsky.social
