Lock Every Door
By Riley Sager
⭐️⭐️⭐️

No visitors. No nights spent elsewhere. No disturbing the rich and famous residents. These are the rules for Jules Larsen’s new job apartment sitting at the Bartholomew, one of Manhattan’s most high-profile buildings. Recently heartbroken—and just plain broke—Jules is taken in by the splendor and accepts the terms, ready to leave her past life behind.

As she gets to know the occupants and staff, Jules is drawn to fellow apartment sitter Ingrid, who reminds her so much of the sister she lost eight years ago. When Ingrid confides that the Bartholomew has a dark history hidden beneath its gleaming façade, Jules brushes it off as a harmless ghost story—until the next day when Ingrid seemingly vanishes.

Searching for the truth, Jules digs deeper into the Bartholomew’s sordid past. But by uncovering the secrets within its walls, Jules exposes herself to untold terrors. Because once you’re in, the Bartholomew doesn’t want you to leave....

This was good and one of those that keeps you thinking is it supernatural or something more sinister and what’s more sinister than human beings being dark and twisted? All through this though I couldn’t help but feel I’d read something similar which did distract me a little. But it was a decent read.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2200 KP) rated The Story of Diva and Flea in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Flea is a street cat in Paris who lives by his wits all alone. Diva is a dog in a small apartment building who is afraid of everything. When their paths cross one day, they build a friendship. How might that change their lives?

This early chapter book is longer than normal for author Mo Willems, but it still holds all of his charm and bits of humor. The story is utterly charming for all ages, and the lessons about the power of friendship are great.

Has anyone ever run a movie club? like a book club for movie fans? I'm starting one this week for my Apartment Building. We are going to see Mary Poppins. It got me thinking if maybe we start one on here.

We could do one every week, different hosts. Pick the movie on Monday, everyone see it by Sunday, then post an online discussion thread on Monday.

I'm really just spit balling, I'm open to any ideas you all have.

I also know that AMC does the $5 movie Tuesdays so we are taking advantage of that to do our movie club on Tuesdays.
