Shiver by Allie Reynolds
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Another one in my favorite premise: a group of snowboarders reunite at ski resort for what they think is a reunion, when they start getting taunted about an event that happened in the past.
First, this book had such vivid, interesting descriptions of snowboarding that I spent hours just watching videos on YouTube, totally in awe of what the human body can do.

Second, this was a deeply satisfying read. The build-up and pay-off were both really good.
Reynolds never once tries to hoodwink us, giving us a backstory/motive that’s out of the blue & unpredictable, but lays down the clues & hints meticulously throughout.
The characters & their backstories and inter changing relationships were so interesting & had me hooked.

A solid debut from Reynolds, and I recommend everyone to check it out.

I’m really slow with #NidheyaReads, so here’s the next one.

Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins.
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

This book has one of my favorite type of premises: a group of people stuck in a location & gets murdered one by one. Image
In this case, Lux and her rich boyfriend Nico are in a off-the-beaten-path island with Brittany, Amma and a rich older couple, Jake and Eliza. The six bond instantly, getting closer, drinking, swimming & having the time of their lives. Their vacation, however,
comes to a close when a 7th person sails into the island, and doesn’t seem to have the best of intentions.

And then one person wounds up dead. And then another. You know the drill.

The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

A tale spanning 24 hours and 50 years, Eleanor Bishop muses about her life and choices after she hooks up with her childhood best friend Jonas, an incident threatening to ruin
her marriage to her husband Peter.

The book unfolds slowly, making you really wait to get to the meat of it. Jumping between the entirety of Eleanor’s life and the 24 hours since she sleeps with Jonas.
While I eventually began to sympathize with Eleanor, even her own past and the rest of characters were really hard to get into. I found myself very passively reading this book until almost the last quarter.

Really like this article on @PipelineArtists. pipelineartists.com/designing-the-…

Lots to think about in regards to a great writing group. I've been meeting weekly with my grad school writers' group for almost 2 years now (it was twice weekly back in 2020), and we've really had
a lot of these questions come up over the months. # of people, scheduling, frequency, type of content. We have switched it around a lot, but at least 2 people do present every week, even if it's the same people for a few weeks in a row when someone's working on a project, or
someone's currently busy. In 2020, we all worked on collectively 20 projects (a group of 4-5). It's a lot slower now, with jobs opening up and shit, but it really gladdens me that we still meet regularly and still help each other so much with our crafts.

Here we go, my first read of 2022!

#NidheyaReads

Survive the Night by Riley Sager
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

My first Sager novel, a thrilling, heart-pounding novel about a 19 year old girl stuck in a 6 hour car drive with who she believes to be a serial killer.
The protagonist, Charlie, is quitting and running away from college after her best friend Maddy is the latest victim of the Campus Killer. Unable to deal with guilt of knowing that she was responsible for her friend’s death, Charlie accepts a ride home with
a total stranger she meets, who sets off red flag after red flag as their lonely journey together begins.

The book hooked me from the very start, and once I hit the 150 page mark, I simply couldn’t put it down, and finished it in one sitting.

The Holiday Swap by Maggie Knox

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️.5

A Princess Switch type Christmas romcom, where twin sisters Charlie and Cass swap lives for a few days to escape the chaos in their own lives. Of course, both the sisters find new love interests and chaos ensues.
One thing I liked was that it WASN’T that easy for the two to swap lives. There were obstacles after obstacles and they had to be really quick on their feet to convince people they were each other.
I loved the cozy, Christmassy vibes with all the yummy desserts and vibes in Starlight Peak.

Within These Wicked Walls by Lauren Blackwood
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

This atmospheric, spooky gothic romance would’ve been perfect for my HalloweenReads, but I got it from the library too late.
Centering around Andromeda, a debtera (exorcist) seeking a patron and Magnus Rochester, the handsome, eccentric heir who has been afflicted by the Evil Eye, this book is about a lot more than what meets the eye.
While the romance between Andi and Magnus did border on insta love, they had plenty of chemistry between them to make it believable.
