Weekly Wrap-Up


Happy Father's Day! Did you get your dad any books? Mine is very keen on audiobooks, and I love it, because we often listen to or read the same ones and can discuss. We all know there is nothing better when you are a book worm that getting someone to read and enjoy a book you like, so I am always looking out for books we could read/listen to together, like a mini father-daughter book club.

What did you do this week? I can't believe how fast this month is slipping by! I will be on holiday for a little bit, so expect my posts to be a bit more sporadic, though I might update with some travel pics and info occasionally with the book posts. I realized yesterday that I won't be able to finish the stack of books I still have from the library before I leave, and can't keep them without incurring a late fee, so I grudgingly returned a lot of them today (and picked up two more - I know, I have a problem!)

Anyway ... to the books:-)

This week I did my usual posts of Mystery Monday - where I featured three mystery novels I am excited about - and This Week in Books - another weekly feature, where I highlight what I've just read, am reading and plan to read in the near future.

Though I am very late when it comes to Renee Ahdieh's The Wrath and the Dawn, I am definitely on the train now. I love a good retelling, and this one definitely delivers! I was so excited that my library had the sequel The Rose and the Dagger ready for me to pick up, since the first book ends on a bit of a cliff hanger.

I finished reading One of Us is Lying, Karen M. McManus new novel about a mysterious death in a group of teens told from four perspectives. I thought it was a fast read and intriguing at that, though I guessed at several of the revelations and never connected deeply to any of the characters, so it was a 3.5 star read for me. While I agree with fellow reviewers that it kept me on my toes as I read, I think it will ultimately and unfortunately prove a little forgettable for me. Have you read it? What did you think?

I got a copy of Susanna Beard's Dare to Remember, a psychological thriller that had me intrigued from the moment I first heard about it. It is the author's debut, which peaks my interest, as I am always on the lookout for new authors to watch for. I'll update with a review as soon as I finish reading it.
