March's Reading Challenge ~ Go Forth!This month you will read:1 ~ a book with character(s) who travel.2 ~ a book that takes place in a different country from where you live.3 ~ a book that takes place in the future.4 ~ a book you read at a place other than your home. This particular prompt was quite easy given my Anglophilia. I chose The Girl on the Train to cover it, mostly because my e-book hold from the library finally came in. It is set in England, and unfortunately I do not live there. “There's nothing so painful, so corrosive, as suspicion.” This was intriguing and rather dark. None of the narrators are entirely trustworthy or not morally questionable in some way. One of them I outright hated. I did see the ending coming before I got there, but I made it about to the halfway point before I started guessing right and I am a suspicious little bugger, so I didn't feel like things were too apparent. I enjoyed the particular way the "unreliable narrator" thing played out here as well as how carefully plotted everything was. I pretty much swallowed the whole novel in one quick rush and I did enjoy all of it, even the parts where I was busy hating someone. The ending was worthy as well, which has been a problem with thrillers lately. It's not going to go on any "favorites" lists for me (thrillers almost never do, admittedly, for all that I enjoy them), but I'm quite pleased I read it and I'd be interested in something else by the author.
Me tuvo picada todo el tiempo, buen ritmo. Me gustó mucho y seguro lo volvería a leer.

🔸25% "But I did become sadder, and sadness gets boring after a while, for the sad person and for everyone around them."
🔸29% "I don’t know where that strength went, I don’t remember losing it. I think that over time it got chipped away, bit by bit, by life, by the living of it."
🔸41% I thought it before, but Megan having an affair is bad, of course, but having him to her house is just tacky.
🔸83% "... I don’t know how to say no..." It's easy if you don't have laryngitis. And if you'd EVER set the precedent of having a backbone with your husband. But he didn't choose you for that, did he, Anna?
🔸84% “Let’s go back to bed,” he says.
“I think I’m going to have a coffee,” I say, trying to pull away from him. He’s not letting me go. His arms are tight around me, his hand gripping the back of my neck. “Come on,” he says. “Come with me. I’m not taking no for an answer.” He sure picked his doormat women well. (doormat bc I don't think he's hurt Anna yet.?)
