    I work in a bookstore in Australia, and we class all the Colleen Hoover as "General Fiction" and at the moment because it's a much hyped book it's also on the "New Titles" wall under the TikTok books.

    I kind of feel the opposite about series ans sequels. I think i love them more than standalones and that's because we get more time with characters so i connect with them more. As for standalones, i feel like by the time i start caring about them the book is about to end 😂😭

      Not a prequel! Its before, during and after It ends with us. Goodreads says this:
      Before It Ends with Us, it started with Atlas. Colleen Hoover tells fan favorite Atlas’ side of the story and shares what comes next in this long-anticipated sequel to the "glorious and touching" (USA TODAY) #1 New York Times bestseller It Ends with Us.

    I just finished “I Must Betray You.” It is absolutely incredible! I loved it so much that I am making it my next pick for book club. As many people as possible need to read this book. I will definitely be picking up some of Sepetys’ recommended resources for this novel once my TBR is more manageable.

    I'm rereading the epic spy novel Beyond Enkription. It's the first of six stand-alone thrillers in The Burlington Files series based on his life. It’s a titanic action packed novel set in 1974 in London, Nassau and Port au Prince. The protagonist, Edward Burlington, is a far from boring accountant who unwittingly works for MI6. He later works eyes wide open for the CIA. It's so real it made me wonder what’s the point of reading espionage fiction when facts are so much more exciting.
    If you're an espionage cognoscenti, don't skip the prologue thinking you know it all. If you're squeamish speed read the brutal bits in Chapter 1. Thereafter it's a compelling read as double agents, disinformation and deception weave wondrously within the relentless twists and turns of evolving events as Burlington fights to survive. I loved this down to earth, magnetic and exceptional novel. Whether you're a Cornwell connoisseur, a Deighton disciple, a Fleming fanatic or a Herron hireling, so should you.
    Indeed, Mick Herron and Len Deighton could be forgiven for thinking they co-wrote this noir narrative. In some enigmatic ways it reminded me of Ted Lewis' "Jack's Return Home" (namely Get Carter of Michael Caine fame). Edward Burlington is a sophisticated multi-dimensional anti-Bond character who doesn't wear glasses. If anyone ever makes a film based on Beyond Enkription they'll only have themselves to blame if it doesn't go down in history as a classic espionage thriller. In the meantime do read it and given it's fact based you'll find researching it becomes as compelling as reading this thriller.

    I feel the same way about reading new authors and worlds as you do about sequels, lol. Also I loved hearing you say you don't figure things out about what's going to happen: I always felt so weird for "missing" what others predicted but lately I've been feeling more like people are enjoying things less because they author didn't do what they assumed and thought best, so I like the style of reading/watching that's more just along for the ride rather than focusing on predictions! Who has got time for that anyway...
