What a great "explainer" newsletter. I have read a lot of mystery/suspense/thrillers this year and I had never giving much though about what differentiates one from the other. I think my sweet spot is psychological thrillers and I've read quite a few this year, which is unusual for me as I usually hang out in the historical fiction genre. Great book recommendations also! Thanks

Great newsletter as always, Shayne.

I have read 6 of the books on the list that people lie about. I’m surprised “Gone With the Wind” wasn’t on the list, but I suppose most people watch the movie.

Looking forward to Louse Penny’s new mystery coming out.

Great newsletter this month. I have for sure read four of the ten most lied about books, but now I can’t remember if I read Great Expectations, so I can’t definitely add that as a fifth or I might be lying haha. There are some great recommendations this month and I will definitely check out the mysteries. I am in Leslie’s book club and our September read is the best selection we have made in a long time. You are such a prolific reader you may know it, but it is The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams. Thanks for your newsletter. I always enjoy it.
