Short and Sweet: What She's Reading Now
For Book Club: Tigers in Red Weather by Liza Klaussmann
2 women in the 1950s, struggling in their roles as housewives and mothers. Lots of descriptions about the fashion and lifestyle of that era, which I love. Lots of love, relationships, struggles. Good so far!
Average 3.5 star rating on Good Reads.

Heartbroken By Lisa Unger
Description: Heartbroken is a tense, mesmerizing novel about the limits of dysfunctional families, of an island haunted by dark memories and restless ghosts, and of the all-too-real demons we must battle. Wonderfully suspenseful, exquisitely crafted, and written with raw, emotional power, this is Lisa Unger at her very best. Average 3.5 rating on Good Reads.

Why I chose it: Jane Green is like Jennifer Weiner to me, they are great go to authors that I know I will enjoy without even reading the back cover.
What are you reading right now ?
You and your books! You should start compiling a list so I can start checking them off :)
ReplyDeleteHey now, that's not a bad idea! I need to make a list of to-reads and my favorites...sounds a good weekend project, thanks for the post idea! :)
DeleteI've just added these to my "to-read" list on Good Reads. At the moment I'm reading "House Rules" by Jodi Picoult. I can't put it down. Before that, I read "Night Road" by Kristin Hannah.
ReplyDeleteSigh. I need to read more. Lots more. I also just realized that I really do judge (actual) books by their cover. Oops.
ReplyDeleteI NEED to get back into reading. Every time I start up again I realize how desperately I've missed it! I am always wishing I could commute by train or bus so I could read during the commute instead of driving. I know they have books on tape but I don't like them because I get weirded out when I can't imagine characters speaking in the voices I give them... Is that weird?! I loved Jemima J when I read it years ago... When I get through the books I have waiting for me on my Nook I'm going to have to start going through your reading list for preapproved reads ;)
