207 Book Talk

  The Silent Wife  by Karin Slaughter is the tenth entry in the Will Trent series. I am reading this book to satisfy prompts from both the Popsugar and ATY reading challenges. ATY prompt 18: Three books related to 'Past, Present, Future' - Book 1 (past) Popsugar Challenge prompt 3: A book that has a heart, diamond, club or spade on the cover

About to start Things You Save in a Fire   by Katherine Center. She is a new to me author. I came across this title on a GoodReads list. The cover colors caught my eye, and I am down to try any stories centering on firefighters, since I live with one. That might be a weird reason to try a book, but... 🤷🏻‍♀️. Romance is also a genre I have always shied away from in the past, until I realized there were several authors and stories I was reading and enjoying that are considered "romance." I don't read the bodice rippers, but if a story has a romance as a side angle on a life story or mystery, I will give it a whirl.

  Layla  by Colleen Hoover Hoover is an author I stumbled across last year when one of her books ( Regretting You ) was available on Kindle Unlimited. I have really enjoyed many of her stories (check out Verity , seriously) but I am not too sure about this one. About 40% done at this point with this story of a ghost possessing the woman the main character is in love with.

 Just started I See You , written by Claire Mackintosh and published by Sphere in 2017. I am about 20 pages in, and can already tell I am really going to have to work hard to finish this one. I generally do not enjoy books by British authors, but am trying to get over being annoyed by unfamiliar names for familiar things, because that's a silly reason not to even give something a try, I know. Wish me luck... I think I'm going to need it.
