Hello Tuesday! Are you reading this from work or home? I’m not working today, but it’s got nothing to do with the holiday…
Today I’m linking up with Jana Says and Life According to Steph for Show Us Your Books!
Here are the books I read in October:
The Empty House by Rosamunde Pilcher
Meh. Snow in April was a good story, but the other books from this author (including this one) seem a bit too damsel-in-distress for me.
One Plus One by Jojo Moyes
I binge-read Jojo Moyes earlier this year, so I was very happy to read a new book from her. This one didn’t keep me up until 3am like The Girl You Left Behind or sobbing like Me Before You, but it was highly enjoyable.
Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin
I think I’m done with Emily Giffin. I really enjoyed Where We Belong, but her other books are filled with completely unsympathetic characters that I don’t want to live happily ever after.
The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith
This is a classic British murder mystery, and since it’s written by JK Rowling, you just know it’s going to be a winner. It is a bit gruesome, so not for the faint of heart.
The Kitchen God’s Wife by Amy Tan
I just love stories about first-generation/parent-child culture clashes, and Amy Tan’s books are captivating.
Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure
The less said about this the better.
The less said about this the better.
What are you reading? Lay your recs on me, please!
LOL!!! I seriously laughed at your summary of Emily Giffin books because I have always felt that way and refuse to read others of hers!
I keep trying to find the magic of Where We Belong…but it’s not just happening.
lol at the last one.
i have only read one emily griffin i think and i have another on my shelf to read but they just don’t ever call out to me.
i havent read one plus one yet but it’s on the list! 🙂
Most of her books have the same theme, so you’re probably not missing much!
i just picked up that jojo moyes one and will try to get to that this weekend but i keep getting distracted with my crocheting!
Read it! Or get audiobooks to listen to while you crochet!
I need to read some Jojo Moyes books, they have been on my to-do list too long. That last one cracks me up.
Read them all!
I’ve been hearing a lot about Jojo Moyes so I can’t wait to read her. And oh yea, Amy Tan!!!! I should definitely read her!
two of my favorite authors
I read a lot of cozy murder mysteries. I just finished Merit Badge Murder by Leslie Langtry ($.99 in the Kindle store), and it was quirky funny, so I enjoyed it. I also read Maple Mayhem by Jessie Crockett, which was cute, but it annoyed me that her computer was “destroyed” by the power cord being cut. Really? What computer has a power cord that is permanently attached and irreplaceable? At least smash the tower. LOL I’ve read a few others too, but I won’t list them all. Today I’m going to start The Kill Switch by James Rollins. I started reading him about a year and a half ago, and he’s quickly become one of my favorite authors.
Hmm, I think I’d like cozy mysteries. I’ll have to look for some, especially if they’re in series.
The only , books I can show are ‘Rebecca’ “Kane and Abel’. Do, something on soaps and I bet noone can top me 😉
soaps high-five!
I think Jojo Moyes will be on my binge read list for next year. This was the year of Rainbow Rowell.
I liked Emily Giffin’s first few books. This year I read her newest, The One and Only and it was so bad and weird and unsettling (not in a good way) and disappointing that I’m done with her.
Thanks for linking up!
I read text books and celebrity gossip websites and books by Joel Osteen -that’s all I can manage for now
