The Classic

Who hasn't played monopoly? It's a fun, classic board game that almost everybody has heard of and attempted at some point. It takes a bit to get set up with your money, but after that, it's just rolling dice and traveling around the board. You're either buying or paying rent on properties you land on, you can trade with your friends, and it feels great when you finally win after playing for literal HOURS. The drawbacks, of course, is that you don't always finish the game because who has a full day to set aside to play a board game? It can get boring after a while. It can also get tense when your friends are building hotels on Boardwalk and Park Place, and all you have is Baltic Avenue and St. James Place.
However, if you have some time to kill and some sturdy, strong friendships you want to test, I highly recommend playing Monopoly.

Suspense Thriller

Gigi missed dancing with her. Tara wanted to borrow that designer dress. Dimitri wanted to know when he’d see her again.

And she knew none of this because Nori was receiving all her messages.

Nori’s new phone number once belonged to a woman with a life much more exciting than her own. Almost immediately, she finds herself obsessed with the glamorous way in which Talia lived. But when Nori begins receiving her more urgent messages regarding missed prescriptions and late rent, it becomes clear that Talia abandoned her life without warning a soul. Driven by curiosity she can’t shake, Nori finds herself using Talia’s text messages like a map as she goes out in search for clues of where she may have gone. But as Nori becomes increasingly immersed in Talia’s job, friends, and romances, she finds their once separate lives too intertwined to untangle.

And Nori begins to see Talia may not have left of her own volition, she realizes her own life may now be in danger.
