Ya’ll know I love a good book. Like, legit. My favorite way to spend a free hour is wandering aimlessly around a bookstore. They have to be actual books, too. No reading via Kindle or Nook, no hate, I just want to be able to hold the book and feel the pages as I turn them. We all have our thing and I guess that’s mine (shrugs).

And while I’m definitely not a genre snob – and will pretty much read anything except horror, I’ve definitely been going through a psychological thriller/suspense phase the last three years. Give or take. I haven’t really been counting.

While these books have been around for a few years, they’re definitely not ones to pass up. If you haven’t yet added these semi-oldies to your book shelf, do so. Asap. With warmer months ahead and hopefully a beach vacation or two, these books are definitely pack-worthy to take with wherever you go.
