This month was full of some great reads! I can’t wait to get back into my reviews with you guys, I always get questions about what I’m reading so I’m happy to share!
Newlyweds Alice and Jake receive an enticing wedding gift, inside a special wood box is an invitation to join an exclusive group known as The Pact. The rules seem simple (at first) always answer when your spouse calls, exchange gifts monthly, plan a trip quarterly.. and never mention The Pact to anyone. Glamorous parties and a large social circle are all part of the Pact, until one of them breaks the rules and finds out the truth about this group. Twists and turns and some disturbing scenes will keep you turning the page. If you’re looking for a psychological suspense thriller than this is a great one for you!
Warning: This book is about a very difficult subject that may not be for everyone. The author is unbiased and plainly states both sides and sheds light all around in a suspenseful setting.
This book begins with a hostage situation at a local center for woman to get birth control and obtain abortions. A man walks in and starts firing and holding hostages. The police negotiator arrives at the scene only to find out his daughter and sister are inside. Jodi Picoult always hits hard topics and it is definitely interesting to hear a realistic fiction story about this terrible topic that takes so many lives.
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine: A Novel
I was completely unprepared for this one. I don’t think it would have even been on my radar had I not seen it on Reese’s Book Club List so I downloaded the audiobook. You guys, it is soooo good! Eleanor lives a fairly secluded, simple life. She doesn’t know anything else. But something happens to her social life when she helps a man on the street that is in need. I absolutely love this character and this cleverly-written book.
Where The Crawdads Sing Oh my GOODNESS! This book is so incredibly good! I can’t even explain how well written this book is. I have to say, I’m always skeptical of books that have been on every book list and praised for months on end but this one lives up to the hype! It is so well written and the main character, Kya is such a powerful and intriguing woman! She endures so much pain and loneliness, but finds her way using mother nature. This is a fascinating love story and murder mystery in one. The descriptive writing is so well written and I absolutely LOVED the setting of North Carolina- 1969. This one is a must read for sure!
I need some book ideas for next month, what are you reading?
You read some great books this month! I LOVED Eleanor Oliphant. She is such a great character. I’ve also heard amazing things about Where the Crawdads Sing.
Thank you so much for all your book list!!! I love every book!!!
