    I’m 8 months postpartum from having my 2nd baby, and life is hard with a toddler and a baby and having a high-stress job. I need a book that will immediately suck me in! My usual palate cleansers are romcoms, but I’m kinda feeling some thrillers or even horror since it’s October. Suggestions??

    1. for horror – old stephen king is my go to. i’ve read a lot of his older books but still have a few left. honestly, you can take your pick but i loved dreamcatcher, duma key, and the dead zone. not really horror but 11/22/63 is great also.

      hope you and the kiddos are doing well!

    2. Dark matter by Blake Crouch and Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

      Both are books that I read postpartum and they sucked me in like no other. I would even forgo chores/sleep/self-care during my baby’s nap if it meant getting one more chapter in.

    3. For a thriller- Recursion by Blake Crouch.

      For a gender flipped adventure- A Brothers Price by Wen Spencer
