Books from the Backlog is a weekly feature hosted by Carole @ Carole's Random Life in Books.
Debut author Darby Kane thrills with this twisty domestic suspense novel that asks one central question: shouldn’t a dead husband stay dead?
Lila Ridgefield lives in an idyllic college town, but not everything is what it seems. Lila isn’t what she seems. A student vanished months ago. Now, Lila’s husband, Aaron, is also missing. At first these cases are treated as horrible coincidences until it’s discovered the student is really the third of three unexplained disappearances over the last few years. The police are desperate to find the connection, if there even is one. Little do they know they might be stumbling over only part of the truth….
With the small town in an uproar, everyone is worried about the whereabouts of their beloved high school teacher. Everyone except Lila, his wife. She’s definitely confused about her missing husband but only because she was the last person to see his body, and now it’s gone.

I know my copy of Red Rising is so ruined now but I love it. |
I'm doing my monthly tbr/themed reading challenges!! For this month, I decided to pick up books I got in January of 2018!! which are generally books I got from my local bookstore for free when I was still working there. I miss those days, to be honest, but it is what it is.
I have more free books but I just picked these particular books up just because these were the books I got in January of 2018 (just because January and it's the year I left the bookseller life).
Hi,
December somewhat helped me calmed down from all the mess.
I'm happy to finally get a drawing tablet which I mentioned the weekend I got it. I did a few drawings but I haven't been in a really good mood to just sit down and draw. I have too much idea in my head though. So there's that. I hope I get into them soon.
Over the Holidays, I sister also stayed with us for 2 weeks. It was all fun although a bit worrisome since she goes out quite a lot and we try to not do that around here. She isn't that scared with the virus as much as we are here but aside from that, we had a fun time. We watched a few decade old movies aka those old High School Music movie trilogy and those Resident Evil films. Rewatching old films was just fun even though we're just out here lashing out on all the wrong things we noticed and never cared about before.
Christmas-wise, as usual, I didn't get books for gifts. Every year, I just cry out I want books but never get them. But my sister got me printed out sticker copies of artworks which is really nice. I didn't expect that to be honest.
Hi,
