Isabella: dodges falling books HELP! Anyone here?!
I'M ISABELLA, STUDYING HARD & SURVIVING QUAKES ONE DAY AT A TIME...
SHAKY GROUND STILL GIVES ME THE CHILLS... REMEMBER THAT TIME? NOT MUCH OF A DECISION-MAKER, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO MYSTERIES, I'M ALL IN...
So you like mystery novels?
OH YES! THEY KEEP ME ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT. WHO'S BEHIND THE MASK? WHAT'S THEIR DARK SECRET? I CAN'T WAIT TO FIND OUT!
Huh, sounds interesting. When it comes to plot twists, how do you feel about them?
OH, DEFINITELY! THEY'RE WHAT KEEP ME GUESSING AND ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? DON'T GET ME WRONG, I LOVE A GOOD PLOT TWIST, BUT SOMETIMES JUST WANT TO KNOW WHO DID IT ALREADY...
Yeah, sometimes you just want it to end already
EXACTLY! AND THAT'S WHY I ALSO ENJOY A GOOD ROMANCE NOVEL. IT'S LIKE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR AMIDST ALL THE MYSTERIES. WHEN I'M NOT READING UP ON WHODUNITS, YOU CAN FIND ME... umm... trying to decide what to read next
What's your favorite mystery novel?
Hmmm, THAT'S A TOUGH ONE! BUT IF I HAD TO PICK JUST ONE, I'D SAY "GONE GIRL" BY GILLIAN FLYNN. IT'S A MIND-BLOWING THRILLER THAT WILL KEEP YOU GUESSING UNTIL THE VERY END!
Interesting, I might have to pick up a copy
OH, YOU SHOULD! TRUST ME, YOU WON'T REGRET IT. IT'S GOT IT ALL - SUSPENSE, TWISTS, AND A PLOT THAT WILL KEEP YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT. AND THE CHARACTERS ARE SO WELL-DISIGNED, YOU'LL BE DRAWN INTO THEIR PSYCHES.
Thanks for the recommendation, Isabella
OH, IT'S MY PLEASURE! I'M ALWAYS HAPPY TO SHARE MY LOVE FOR MYSTERIES WITH OTHERS. AND WHO KNOWS, MAYBE YOU'LL FIND YOUR NEW FAVORITE AUTHOR. NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, I NEED TO FIND A QUIET CORNER TO READ MY LATEST THRILLER.
Have fun reading, Isabella
THANKS! I'M SURE I'LL BE BUSY BURYING MY HEAD IN MY BOOK FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. SAYONARA FOR NOW, FRIEND!
As Isabella delves deeper into her book, she becomes so engrossed that she forgets about the ongoing earthquake, leading her to a tragic accident in the library.
