Short stories by Edgar Allan Poe.  The Pit and the Pendulum is harrowing!  And Broken by Karin Slaughter, a crime drama which is among my favorite genres.

I recently found a book on my Kindle that I bought last year. Yes, I am a book hoarder. Anyway it's called " Small Admissions " and it's about a young woman whose life has fallen apart and how she is helped by her job in the Admissions office of a NYC. Private school. The whole admission process is explored and is absurd, sad and highly entertaining. This is an enjoyable read. Oh, the author is  Amy Poeppel.

Reading is my true passion as well. Best of all thanks to the Library, it's free. I can read for hours and be perfectly content. On the weekends I generally do not even turn on the TV until the evening, I just run my errands and read in between them.

I am finishing up I'LL never let you go by Mary Burton. It's a psychological thriller. Thanks to the reader from this Book Forum who turned me on to this author. Very fast paced entertaining read. I will be reading more of her books.

I will be starting  Bad Blood by John Sanford. within the hour.

Happy April!

I finished reading The Secrets she Keeps by Michael Robotham, about the kidnapping of a newborn baby. It was soooo very suspenseful and went back and forth between the two main characters. I found it hard to put down. Highly recommend!

I'm now reading the autobiography of Carol Bayer Sager, They're Playing our Song. What a talented lyricist she is! I knew she wrote several famous, popular songs, but there are so many I had no idea she wrote! Very interesting life she's led as well. I've always liked her and now I like her even more. 

I'm going to start The Flight Attendant tonight, whether I finish Carol Bayer Sager's book or not. I can read both at the same time since one is fiction and one isn't. I've been looking forward to reading it, and I just got it. I also have several others on my Kindle, including The Bad Daughter by Joy Fielding, and Need to Know by Karen Cleveland.

Can't wait to dig in!

Two best sellers on the current NYT list.  

[momoftwo2007]

I just finished Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng. I enjoyed it. But I think it is not as good as all the hype.  It won named best book of the year by so many organizations. I just don't think it is that great.

I just started Map of the Heart by Susan Wiggs.   So far, I am enjoying it very much. 

.........deeply emotional and atmospheric story that spans oceans and decades, from the present-day Delaware shore to the battlefields of WWII France.
