Top Ten Tuesday

 
Top Ten Tuesday is a fun weekly meme hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.

This week's theme: Genre Freebie.

I love THRILLERS! Especially when there are unexpected twists, a bit of edge and darkness, and some good psychological suspense. So I went through my past blog posts and chose 10 of My Favorite Thrillers:








































If you've never read a thriller and want to give one a try, I recommend any
and all of these! I also list more thrillers I've loved on my Memorable Reads page.

Happy Reading!

  1. I'm terrified of thrillers, so I'm fascinated with others (and there are many!) who love them best. Maybe one day I won't be such a scaredy-cat.

    1. Thrillers can be very dark and suspenseful...and not always the best books to read before going to bed. ;D

    1. Ellison has a new one out that looks really good. And Good Girls Lie was amazing! I really liked that one. :D

  5. I didn't know you read that many thrillers. I don't even read normal crime stories, so I would have had very little to put on that list. And, needless to say, I haven't read any of your books. But I'm glad you enjoyed them.

    My TTT this week.

  13. I've got a bit of a love/hate relationship with thrillers. Either I absolutely adore them and they're some of my favorite books of the year or I'm very meh about them. I haven't read any of these so I'm taking notes!

    1. I do. You regularly review and recommend books that end up on my own TBR list. :D

  23. Some of these books look really scary just based on the covers. I do have a book by Loreth Ann White, In the Dark, not read yet. I did not realize she had written so many books.

    I read a book partially set in Santa Barbara (where I live) by Meg Gardiner (China Lake). Had a forest fire in it too. A little over the top for me, but I still may read the second one, Mission Canyon, because that is the neighborhood I lived in for six years when we first moved to Santa Barbara.

    1. In the Dark is a good one! I liked that one, too. And it's fun reading books set where you live.

  24. Oh this is so my kind of list! The Meg Gardiner book was great and all the others I haven't read, so I feel like I'm going to be add a whole heap to my TBR!
