Netflix’s Luther movie starts streaming in March

(TW suicide) This is my current audiobook — with a fantastic narration by Hannah Choi — and I am loving it! It’s for fans of a possibly unreliable narrator and psychological works where you’re really up in the main character’s brain. And wow, she has a fantastic voice. Katrina Kim read a children’s book as a child that stuck with her and she now uses the world of the book to create scenarios in her current life to basically try and cope with her mental health and life stresses — including being broke. She is also stalking a coworker, which she argues is in no way stalking! She is just doing this as part of her rituals to help her out. While desperately needing to do one of her rituals — going to Cayatoga Bridge — she watches her coworker die by suicide. And he blames her. Needing to understand how this happened, she tries to go through everything she’s learned about him in the years she was stalking him, but a different picture starts to present itself. What if every time she was watching him, he was watching her?…

This is the kind of book I would inhale in one sitting, and the only reason I haven’t is because life keeps getting in the way!

For fans of childhood friends brought back together to solve a childhood mystery, and past and present stories. Decades ago, as children, Naomi, Cassidy, and Olivia were playing in the woods when Naomi was repeatedly stabbed by a serial killer. Naomi managed to survive and the girls identified the attacker and ended up getting a serial killer sent to prison. The thing is, they didn’t tell the truth: Naomi didn’t really remember who attacked her. Now a photographer in Seattle, she’s back home in her small-town in Washington where she’s reunited with Cassidy and Olivia after the killer dies in prison. But things aren’t well, Olivia wants to finally come forward and tell the truth. When she’s found dead, Naomi is forced to try and find out the parts of her attack that she’s never remembered.
