Hey, (mood) readers!
It’s been a while since I posted a blog like this, and I missed doing posts that are not book reviews. So, I decided to share with you the 10 thriller titles I listened to last October on Scribd.
I really don’t know why but thrillers become even more spooky and eerie when you are listening to them. Perhaps, its because as the narrator whispers in your ear, it feels like you are immersed fully in the world your characters are living in.
So, if you haven’t tried this yet, I hope you take the chance. You can start with these 10 titles! Though not all of them are 5 stars, for my tastes, they might match yours and I’m sure you’ll enjoy the experience.

Book description: An elite prep school where people involved in a secret incident keeps committing suicide catches the eye of a journalist with a Youtube channel, a forensic reconstructionist in the autism spectrum, and a criminal profiler.
Quick review: I wasn’t expecting to adore this random pick from Scribs. The story is written so effectively despite there being too many storylines to keep track of. I would love to see the next part of the story focusing on Rory and Lane, and read their first book, too.

The 7 ½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Torton
Listen on Scribd | Buy on Amazon | Buy on Book Depository
Book description: A Groundhog Day story follows the murder of Evelyn Hardcastle and the limited attempts one has to figure out the murderer.
Quick review: This book was quite confusing to read on audio, which I don’t usually encounter. The plot twists are awesome, though, but it did take some time to build up my interest. There are so many fatphobic statements here my head hurt a lot and almost DNFed.
