I'm a writer, but I'm also a
reader. Each month, I'll share with you what I'm reading and some reviews. My
available time to read is limited because I write, but I love to curl up with a
book or a reader at night for the last hour of my waking day.
I tend to read what I write, but not exclusively. My current read is a Romantic Suspense by J L Wilson entitled Candy, Corpses, and Classified Ads. I'm not quite finished so you'll have to wait until another month for the review. But I also like detective thrillers, WWII historicals, mysteries, and some main stream character driven novels.
Here are some of the books I've read recently. Maybe you'll discover a new book or author!

John Sandford is the author of the Prey series, Crime/Thriller. I’ve read
eighteen of the twenty-six books in this series. Although I didn’t start with
book one, I changed directions after the first couple. They can be read out of
order, but because the main character, Lucas Davenport, starts as a maverick
detective and works his way up the law enforcement ladder, in order might be
advised. I LOVE these books. I’ll certainly be sure to finish the series
eventually. My TBR pile runneth over.
The Hunger Games #1 in the series by Suzanne Collins
I saw the movies first. I
really didn't care about seeing them or reading the books, but my FDW came home
one night with the first one from the Redbox. Wow, did I get hooked! We watched
all three on consecutive nights. I then got the books. So entertaining! Books
and movies differ, but I thoroughly enjoyed both.
On the Surface #1 in the series by Margo Hoornstra
For some reason I'm always
attracted to bounty hunter stories, if there's romance involved. Margo Hoornstra
didn't disappoint me with this Romantic Suspense. A wrongly convicted woman has to depend on
one handsome bounty hunter to help rid herself of the slimy guy who used her
and is coming back for more. She's caught between keeping herself out of his
web and the law, and she needs help. The hero is a certainly the one she needs.
This is good romance and suspense.
Hidden Secrets #3 in series by Jannine Gallant
I've read quite a few books
by Jannine Gallant, and she continues to please. This Romantic
Suspense is maybe the best. It's
been a long time that a book has kept me reading past my usual bedtime. An
antique dealer has something that can lead to a murderer. I had a lot of fun
trying to figure out who the bad guy was and never did nail it. The romance
between two childhood friends was so believable. An absolutely great read.
Thanks for the terrific review! I read parts of The Hunger Games when my youngest had to write a book report on it in middle school. A far cry from the books we had to read back in the day! I'm in excellent company in this group.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I always enjoy your books. Yep, we didn't get to read such books back in the day. I think about all of the great books of the past and the great ones of the last 30 years, and wonder how the heck educators can make choices. Tough job.
