Author Ranking: Riley Sager (Through With a Vengeance)
Author Ranking: Riley Sager (Through With a Vengeance)

I can officially say I’ve read every book by New York Times bestselling author Riley Sager published to date. After reading and enjoying the premise of Survive the Night a few years back, then loving The Only One Left when I read it in late-2023, I knew I had to make it my personal mission to finish reading all of Sager’s books, including a handful of older titles and a couple newer ones too. Now that I’m caught up on all nine books in Sager’s backlist (including the summer’s newest release — With a Vengeance), I can FINALLY make and share an author ranking.

Recent Book Purchases I'm Excited to Read
Recent Book Purchases I'm Excited to Read

Of course I’ve added a few books to my (already overflowing) TBR. I’m a reader, that’s what we do — we! buy! all! the! books! haha. All jokes aside, I’ve become so much more intentional about the books I buy over the last couple years. I used to grab a copy of every book recommended to me (which resulted in me reading 20-30+ severely “meh” books that current Jen probably wouldn’t have picked up if she’d been smarter), but now that I know my specific reading taste, I’ve really dialed that part back. So, when I buy a book in 2025, it means I’m all about reading it. Here are a handful of books I’ve purchased over the last few weeks that I’m super excited to read.

November 2024 Book Club Pick: The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley

Guess what friends? I (finally) started a virtual book club — my FIRST ever book club — and I couldn’t be more excited! Because I love talking books and book opinions with others (no two people read a book with the same perspective), I wanted to bring together a group of book lovers to (very casually) bond over books. With the popularity of reading blowing up over the last several years, so many people are reading books again and that’s so great to see!
