Welcome to Booked on a Feeling — because the best stories start at your library.
A Knife Between Chapters is one of our staff readers, moving quietly through pages where motives matter, alibis unravel, and someone almost always ends up dead. Her reading life leans delightfully murdery, with psychological thrillers, mysteries, and crime at the core, softened now and then by a literary turn of…
The Will of the Many was absolutely fantastic and had me hooked from the very first sentence. This is the kind of book you don’t rush through-not because it drags, but because you want to savor it while trying to piece everything together. I found myself constantly wondering how Vis…
