I’d take 20, it was -5F here this morning

I have my next two books already picked out, I keep 4 books in my LFL book exchange rotation (used to be just two but my partner occasionally decides he wants to read one so I upped it so he doesn’t hold up the que and so I can often wait till I’m on a trip to change them out as I like to hunt them on vacation runs) so next is “all the light we cannot see” which will be followed by “welcome to the god damn ice cube”

I didn't get far through All The Light We Cannot See, but I did enjoy Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube (has someone given you the trigger warnings on that yet?) Have you read Blair Braverman's fiction book Small Game?

Nope, no one has given me trigger warnings for that book yet but it’s ok I generally don’t read trigger warnings anyways, otherwise the stress of knowing something awful is going to happen just adds more on top of the feelings from just reading it blind.

I haven’t read the other book.

I recommend Small Game! It’s a thriller about a survivor show gone very wrong.
