I was in the mood for a thriller written by a woman, and this turned out to not be a thriller but was still a really fast-paced read that kept me wondering what would happen next. It left out the evolution of the protagonist's psyche, but honestly, I think that would have slowed the book down and wasn't really essential.
I read all the time, yet this list doesn't reflect that. I read the Express weekly, I read trashy magazines at the gym, and yes, I read a lot of comics. I think I just read slower than I used to.
