I haven't posted it last week so I have a little more to talk about today. I managed to read three very different but very good books. I have to say that quality- and entertainment-wise, my past two weeks were great,
if they made PhD online programs as entertaining as what I have been reading, sign me right up! Although I know the texts in those courses are pretty dry, I know they could benefit from these books below.
I read:
This Must Be the Place
by Kate Racculia - a debut novel which I would classify as contemporary American. An awesome book, with a lot of wonderful characters. I'm very excited to write a review about it which will be coming soon.
Heart of Lies 
by M.L. Malcolm - a historical fiction, bridging the two World Wars, taking place in Shanghai mostly. A wonderful story which apparently has an upcoming sequel. I'm very happy about that!
Hide
by Lisa Gardner - a psychological thriller by one of my favorite thriller authors. Gardner really knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat. Definitely recommended for all of you who are looking for an action-packed thriller with a shocking ending.I'm reading:
The Transformation of Bartholomew Fortuno
by Ellen Bryson - I have read mixed reviews on this one and I'm actually curious to see what my opinion will be.I want to read:
1. The Alibi Man
by Tami Hoag2. By Fire, By Water
by Mitchell James KaplanLast but not least, I still have two giveaways going on right now: The Quickening by Michelle Hoover and The Hot Box by Zane. They both are international! I now have a tab on top of my page dedicated for current giveaways, so this is the place you would go to see what goodies there are:)
What are you reading this week?

I am pretty sure you will love By Fire, By Water! It was a fabulous read!
ReplyDeleteYour other ones look interesting too...look forward to your reviews!

HERE is my Mailbox Monday.
I liked Fortuno, it was her style of writing that made it good so I hope you'll like it
ReplyDeleteI do like a thriller once in a while, but right now I am in cozy mystery mode (or mood, perhaps). They seem extremely suitable for a nice, lazy summer day.
ReplyDeleteYou had an excellent week and another lined up. By Fire, By Water is fabulous. Have a great week reading. My Monday is located here: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/07/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-5.html
ReplyDeleteHeart of Lies looks good, and i don't think I recall HIDE being one of Lisa G's best books?? Read her newest one, it is awesome.
ReplyDeleteNice Monday! Mine is here. Have a good week reading! Katie x
ReplyDeleteOh I want to read Heart of Lies! I have to keep reminding myself to look for that one! Have a super week!
