Week 20

I really enjoyed the thriller from last week and decided to stick with the genre. A step too far by Tina Seskis was on playlist and so I launched into the story. This story had me at the beginning. Emily/Cat runs away and in the opening chapter you want to know why. The storyline had me engaged the whole way through. You are waiting for a twist, and it delivers twist after twist until the end. A gripping story.

Week 19

This week I listened to Little Sister by Lucy Dawson and Meant to Be by Lauren Morrill. Last year I read You Sent Me a Letter by Lucy Dawson which I found a really good thriller and so I added Little sister to my to be read pile. This book did not disappoint, Anya disappears in Mexico 🇲🇽 and her sister Kate struggles as they try and find her. It was really gripping.

I then wanted something a little light, and Meant to Be joined my to be read pile as it had this attractive cover and the story took place in London. I just spent a week in London and as Julie and Jason visit tourist sites as part of a school trip, I imagined myself with them. This was a light young adult read, highly predictable.

And so I am at 27 books for the year..

Week18

This week I listened to the audiobook, The Woman in Cabin 10. I hadn’t read this author before but as I was listening to the book, it reminded me of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express. There is a burglary and then Lo (a travel journalist) boards a luxury ship to the fjords of Norway. Then there is a murder... this book is full of twists, it kept me intrigued right until the end.

Week 17

This book was on a list I discovered on Pinterest. I use Pinterest, goodreads and blogs to find new titles. I had read a Jojo Moyes title off the list and then added A Window Opens by Elisabeth Egan to my to be read pile. I had this title on my audible app. 

A window opens reminds me of a Sarah Jessica Parker movie, I just don’t know how she does it. Alice is a working mum, juggling a career and raising three children. Her father’s cancer returns sending her life a curve ball.

This was my final title in Erin’s book challenge... Read a book by an author whose first and last name begins with the same letter. I originally chose a Monica McInerney novel, but didn’t take it on holidays with me.

24 books read so far this year.
