Recent Reads: Four Great Thrillers

December 11, 2020 / beckmank / Leave a comment

Four great thrillers that I've read in 2020. All four have two things in common: They have multiple narrators, and they are all page turners.

In Five Years. An unexpected love story.

October 14, 2020October 11, 2020 / beckmank / 5 Comments

5/5 Stairs. I loved Rebecca Serle's The Dinner List so much, that I knew I had to read In Five Years. When I picked up this book, I thought it was a romance. When I finished this book, I knew it was actually a love story. The greatest love story. And it was completely unexpected.
