Happy October to all our reading friends.  Here are some of the suggestions that have been requested...

Underline, "bold" or CAPITALIZE the name of the book you're reading - it makes it easier for us readers to see what it is.

Include the author of the book - first and last name. There are so many books with the same title (if you are recommending a book, we want to make sure we read the right one!)

Post a few words about the book - would you recommend it or not, and why. No need to post the cover.

Tell us the book genre - is it fiction, a mystery, romance, historical fiction, biography, memoir, or any other type of book.

Of course, there is no obligation to do any of the above, but it makes life easier for all of us. 

If you have any suggestions, please let me know, as we’re always open to new ideas!

Have a great month, and happy reading to all!

After the Storm - Linda Castillo - Kind of a murder mystery novel.  The lead is a Chief of Police in a small town.  She used to be Amish and still lives near where she grew up.  After a big storm tears up part of the town, recovery and cleanup begins and an skull and bones are discovered.

This past Tuesday I started reading 6 Years by Harlan Coben.  I'm about two-thirds through. It's good so far!!

My book club is reading Circling the Sun, so I just started it. It's different then what I would normally read but I'm really enjoying it!  I also have Trick of the Light by Loiuse Penny going.

Happy Reading!!!

I just finished The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware. I had read some poor reviews on this book so when I my turn came up at the library I decided to try it anyway and it was great. I bet someone makes a movie out of this book.

In this tightly wound, enthralling story reminiscent of Agatha Christie’s works, Lo Blacklock, a journalist who writes for a travel magazine, has just been given the assignment of a lifetime: a week on a luxury cruise with only a handful of cabins. The sky is clear, the waters calm, and the veneered, select guests jovial as the exclusive cruise ship, the Aurora, begins her voyage in the picturesque North Sea. At first, Lo’s stay is nothing but pleasant: the cabins are plush, the dinner parties are sparkling, and the guests are elegant. But as the week wears on, frigid winds whip the deck, gray skies fall, and Lo witnesses what she can only describe as a dark and terrifying nightmare: a woman being thrown overboard. The problem? All passengers remain accounted for—and so, the ship sails on as if nothing has happened, despite Lo’s desperate attempts to convey that something (or someone) has gone terribly, terribly wrong...

@DiAnne thanks for the description of the book. When it first came out, I had put in on my TBR list but for some reason, I removed it. I think it was because of such bad reviews. But, as I first thought, it sounds really good, so I'm putting it back on the list!

I'm almost finished with All the Time in the World by Caroline Angell. I'm enjoying it very much and look forward to finding out how it ends.
