I just finished reading Before I Go to Sleep by ____ Watson (I've forgotten the first name.) It's a mystery and a thriller with some great twists. I highly recommend it.

Gone Girl was a very intriguing book. I kept reading it because I had to know what was going to happen next! I think a lot of people have disliked it, because the two main characters aren't very likable. But I'd recommend it if you want a book that you just can't put down.

I was looking for a light-read author to pick up between the heavier books I prefer. I checked out Jodi Picoult because she has so many out there but a lot of the reviews were negative.

Any opinions here on her writing?

Finished "The Virgin Suicides" by Pulitzer Prize winning author Jeffrey Eugenides last week. It is a stunning, beautiful, and sad book.

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn and Hustlin' Divas by D. Diamond are some recent favorites.

I really want to see Gone Girl the movie in the Fall for sure. Yes the main characters are unlikable.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

I liked Gone Girl because it was a gripping story. My niece also liked it. I will make an effort to see the movie.

Supreme Justice by Max Collins, free from the Kindle library. It wasn't too bad, set a few years into the future.

I'm half way through House Rules. Its usually read when I go on my stationary bike. I enjoy her books.
