2. The Ink Black Heart by Robert Galbraith Just finished reading The Ink Black Heart' it was a great big thwack of a book & took me ages. Not her best crime novel could have done with some judicious cutting but it was otherwise a chilling & terrifying look at internet trolls. #inkblackheart #crimefiction pic.twitter.com/DvkPel01Bu

Edie is desperate to uncover Anomie's true identity.

becca taylor's version (@elainereadz) September 30, 2022
From the author of the Goodreads Choice Award winner The Spanish Love Deception, comes the eagerly anticipated follow-up novel, The American Roommate Experiment.
Rosie Graham has a problem. A few, actually. She just quit her well paid job to focus on her secret career as a romance writer. She hasn't told her family and now has terrible writer's block. Then, the ceiling of her New York apartment literally crumbles on her. Luckily, she has her best friend Lina's spare key while she's out of town. But Rosie doesn't know that Lina has already lent her apartment to her cousin Lucas.
Lucas offers to let Rosie stay with him, at least until she can find some affordable temporary housing. And then he proposes an outrageous experiment to bring back her literary muse and meet her deadline: He'll take her on a series of experimental dates meant to jump-start her romantic inspiration. How could this go wrong?
2. It Starts with Us by Colleen Hoover Ever since the first book It Ends With Us took over TikTok, we've been manifesting that Colleen would do the honourable thing and write us another one Well, the power of manifestation came through and this month, the book was *finally* in our hands. https://t.co/YYU9QUAMMt

Before It Ends with Us, it started with Atlas. Colleen Hoover tells fan favorite Atlas's side of the story and shares what comes next in this long-anticipated sequel to the #1 New York Times bestseller It Ends with Us.
Switching between the perspectives of Lily and Atlas, It Starts with Us picks up right where the epilogue for the gripping bestselling phenomenon It Ends with Us left off. Revealing more about Atlas's past and following Lily as she embraces a second chance at true love while navigating a jealous ex-husband, it proves that no one delivers an emotional read like Colleen Hoover.
