That line actually comes from the Department of Homeland Security. It's kind of their motto. It's supposed to get people to report "suspicious activity." I think a lot of groups have adopted it.
Ahhh thank you Kristie haha that makes sense now!!!

I'm looking forward to seeing what you all think of it and may read it eventually.
I have like 5 Netgalley reviews to do as well but oh well I'm looking forward to this one
Thats too bad, Kristie, this looks like a good one, so hopefully you can pick it up at some point. I hope you are enjoying the books you need to review.
I was looking into netgalley at one point but I think they only accept US.
I don't blame you, Courtney! This is a fun group to be a part of. I love discussing while I read. I'm trying to stay focused for a little while longer though... I have at least four more that I have to read before February. I am enjoying them, Corina! I think I have some good books on my shelf. :) I have friends from other countries that also use NetGalley - UK, Australia, Canada... Where are you from?
Good luck with those, Kristie! Looking forward to seeing your reviews and probably add some more to my neverending TBR hahaI live in New Zealand, I should probably check it out again more thoroughly
Yeah Corina you'd really like it, I'm just now getting into it but I do find a lot of my time that I spend reading I like to do it with you guys so im definitely neglecting it. this one is already pulled me in! Kristie, maybe you can jump on in February or suggest something to read when you get a chance!
Sounds good, Courtney. Thanks for the invite. :) I also have a ridiculously long TBR, so I'm sure I can come up with a suggestion.
This one is defininitely intriguing and tense. I like a closed mystery/thriller too.I'll have a look again
Definitely, Kristie, it would be great :)
Courtney!! yes this is so good so far! i started it just to see and it definitely sucks you in right away!! i love the way the author has portrayed such a stressful atmosphere from the very beginning. I'm super excited for this one :)
Yesss me too! I read 90 pages fast last night
I'm loving this one I'm almost half way through it! It's getting so good
dang!! okay I'll try to keep up with you guys with this one lol
I'm about 40% I think, its definitely good, intrigued to see how it unfolds
Woah u guys are so fast! I finished just about 50 pgs!
And Corina for NZ it's netgalley.co.uk I guess
Haha, not that fast Thanks, Vanessa, I will look into it probably after UNO ;-)
it's hard to put it down + it's been so long since I've read a thriller type book.... whose picking the next one? does anyone have anything they wanna throw out there?
I am open to any suggestion, I still have loads to read haha
Lol, what genre should we go for next?
Up to you guys.... maybe not just a plain romance lol but idc I am a sucker for all of it
Lol, I think I'm romanced out for a bit as well, read too many in November haha
I wanted to read A Thousand Ships! idk if it's a romance or anything but it's a Greek mythology retelling!
I love Greek mythology, I've been meaning to read that one and I have it on my kindle, so I'm keen :-)
Yay, its about the Trojan war btw told from the perspective of women
Oh and if you like Greek mythology, really recommend Stephen Fry's Mythos. Listened to it on audio and its great. He has a few other books, but haven't gotten to those ones yet.
ok cool ya I love Greek mythology. And the pagans etc. love history period
ooh that sounds good!! i read The Silence of the Girls and that one was also really good!
Thats on my TBR as well, but haven't gotten to it yet
Looking forward to A thousand ships after this one...yay
just when you think you know what's gonna happen it all changes!!!
Haha, thats good...I'm just over 60% I think. The first little twist happened but that one wasn't too much of a surprise. I'm still suspicious of everything lol. It certainly is tense and high stakes.
Just finished it tonight...certainly a tense one with lots of twists and turns, some I didn't see coming.
Haven't heard from Vanessa or Bella lately .. u guys still there?
Hey guys! yes yes still here.just not keeping too well. so have been just sleeping.
Glad u guys loved it .. I'll try to finish it by this weekend
