Alas, Babylon was one of my BookBub offers this morning. Go figure.

One of my all-time favorite books! I've probably owned at least 6 copies since I first read it in 1969. I also loved "Emergence," by David Palmer, as well as "Nature's End," by Whitley Strieber and James Kunetka.
Yes, as long as you don't mind depressing and sad books.
If it's interesting, depressing and sad can be ok, so I've put the e-book on hold at my library.
Currently flying through An Unwanted Guest by Shari Lapena. Really enjoying it, and had to put it down last night to go to bed.
I've just finished Crisis by Felix Francis. I was a huge fan of his father, Dick Francis, and found that this one was right up there with many of his.
Have you read The Hunger Games? I read all 3 books and didn't realize it was YA till I had put the book down, picked it back up and saw it on the inside cover. Yes,
there is romance but it's not the main focus.
That sounds good, jcat. What's next?
That's what I'm trying to decide - I've downloaded about 15 books over the past few days and am not sure whether I want something light or "heavy".
Still plowing through the Mrs. Murphy books, with LOTS of interruptions. Normal I can read 4-6 books a week. I'm doing 2-3 right now.
Have you read Sophie's Choice by William Styron? It's one of my fave book but heavy.

How are you finding Unwanted Guest? The author has written several books.
I finished it yesterday! Must be close to a record for me - only 4 days!!! It was a quick read, and kept me turning the pages, or err, swiping the screen.
I'll spoiler a couple thoughts, in case anyone else plans to read it.
Even though I was trying to figure it out, I didn't guess Lauren at all. I was also surprised at the twist that Beverly killed her cheating husband. I really found the book a "fun ride", however, I do have to say I did find it a bit disturbing that so many people died.
Are her other books similar to this one?
So I wasn't sure what I wanted to read next. Wasn't in the mood for another "who dunnit", and though I looked at a few "summer reads" nothing really caught my eye. Then Love Saves the Day by Gwen Cooper popped up as an option, so I'm going to read it. Sounds cute, as it's "primarily told through the eyes of the most observant member of any human family: the cat."
Yes, they are mysteries.
With Lauren, I guess someone had to be the killer, but Beverly was unexpected. Especially since her husband was thinking of killing her!
I'll have to read them next time I'm in the mood for a mystery.
Does anyone here watch movies? I just binge-watched The Last Kingdom and understand it's a series of 11 books. It helped that the main character looks just like my oldest son. The Silent Patient was good, rather different from the usual thriller. I took out Season 1 of Outlander due to everyone's raves about it. I just discovered the library is a better source of movies than Netflix.
Yes, but that was ages ago. I chose something that doesn't make good bedtime reading:
Restless Souls: The Sharon Tate Family's Account of Stardom, the Manson Murders, and a Crusade for Justice
Yikes, ha! You're right about that but I'd like to read it but during the day.
