Book Mail is the best mail!! This was delivered today, from Madison, CT. Miss visiting book stores!!! I have not heard of this book but that is part of the fun!
pickI was so curious about this book because it was written by an NPR anchor. You can definitely tell she‘s a reporter because of the way the main character goes about trying to solve her mystery, and the roles that reporters and newspapers play in the story. It was interesting to me, but the main character also made some bad choices! I listened to this and didn‘t care for the narration. She was good at voices but way too slow!
pickThis book is excellent! Great story, immediate hook, and not overly "romancey". The author plays with her readers emotions throughout the book and just when I thought I knew what was going to happen, the story veered sharply and surprised me. Suspense novels can be overly dramatic and authors often rely on suspense to allow for some literary laziness - there is NONE of that in this book! Highly recommend!
Waiting for fireworks 💥 of course I have a book with me... and it's a real page turner. Happy 4th of July!
pickI had some cozy companions with me while finishing this thriller this morning. Not sure why I haven't heard more hype about this book. It was very good! It's about a 37-year-old professor who discovers she has a bullet lodged in her neck from a childhood she doesn't remember. The way the plot unfolded kept me guessing til the very end. Not without its flaws, but absolutely worth a read!
pickCaroline Cashion has an MRI and the tech asks her how long she's had the bullet in her neck. Caroline thinks the tech has lost her mind, until her parents reveal the big secret. She's Caroline Smith, their adopted daughter, whose birth parents were murdered when she was 3. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. There was one thing that annoyed me, but the story moved quickly with plenty of twists and good characters. Entertaining - 4 stars.
Cheating this one a bit since I don't have beer or coffee in my house right now. My "brew" is hot chocolate. #bookandbrew #photoadaynov16
Went to my favorite local business for an author event (more on that tomorrow) and received enthusiastic recommendations for this book and all things Preston & Child (whom I have not read 😮). Book people are the best people. ❤️ #parkroadbooks #getindie #bookhaul
I started reading The Bullet on a whim, with no expectations. But I was quickly engrossed in this story of a woman who discovers a bullet has been lodged in her neck since she was a young girl, a wound she can't remember and knew nothing about. I loved that this novel dealt primarily with rich characterization, rather than an action-packed plot.
pickAn easy to read page-turner that made me double check the locks before heading to bed ;)
When mom says she's excited to read a book and sells its so well you pop over to the library so you can read it along with her.
pickThe first book I've managed to finish since early March so for that reason alone it will have a special place in my heart. Thoroughly enjoyed it, almost read it in one sitting.
