What an awful selection. I skipped November and am tempted to skip this as well, but will probably go with Punishment.

I went with Punishment myself, it does sound a lot like a Philip K. Dick story.

I got Twist of Fate. Like so many of these Freebies, it went into my "maybe I'll read this after I retire" list.

I'm probably going to go with Tips for Living, if I can get past that stupid title and that awful cover. What were they thinking?
The only other book I'd consider is Twist of Faith, but the apparent religious aspect is a turnoff--I don't want to read something with an agenda. |

This must be the Bleak and Desolate Noir selection from Amazon this month.

Lol !" Zombie's in love tragedy, they met today but have no future. " or something like that. Nothing up lifting, only doom & gloom. I want to read about adventure or the underdog who wins. Oh well maybe next month.

I bought the $2 whisper sync audiobook, the narrator was very good. But I got so involved in the story that I stayed up late one night to finish reading the ebook instead of waiting to get through the audio during my commute. Last edited by Alohamora; 01-28-2018 at 05:17 PM. |

I went with Bone Music myself. Probably a good month for thriller fans, since two are definite thrillers and Neighborly is similar as well.

I went with "Silent Victim". It sounds like it has a nice 'twisty-turny' plot.
