HUMP DAY READING: CURRENT, PAST, & FUTURE

Today I’m participating in Sam’s WWW Wednesdays.  Here’s how it works:

 

The Three Ws are:

What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next, and/or what are you eagerly awaiting?

***

CURRENTLY READING:

One Perfect Lie (e-book), by Lisa Scottoline, is an emotional thriller and a suburban crime story that will have readers riveted up to the shocking end, with killer twists and characters you won’t soon forget.

 

 

For some reason, I have done very little reading yesterday and today.  Perhaps because I’m still adjusting after the beach getaway this past weekend, and the party here in town after we returned home.  I’ve also been catching up on my DVR shows.  But I’m enjoying what I’ve read so far.

JUST FINISHED:

At the beach hotel, I sat on the terrace and read, and then read some more before falling asleep at night.  I loved this book, which I finished on Saturday:   Small Hours, by Jennifer Kitses, an Amazon Vine review.  (Click the title for my review).

EAGERLY ANTICIPATING:

I have a long list bookmarked on Amazon, with some upcoming releases as soon as next week, like this one:  The Widow of Wall Street, by Randy Susan Meyers.

 

 

***

Blurb:  A provocative new novel by bestselling author Randy Susan Meyers about the seemingly blind love of a wife for her husband as he conquers Wall Street, and her extraordinary, perhaps foolish, loyalty during his precipitous fall.

Phoebe recognizes fire in Jake Pierce’s belly from the moment they meet as teenagers. As he creates a financial dynasty, she trusts him without hesitation—unaware his hunger for success hides a dark talent for deception.

When Phoebe learns her husband’s triumph and vast reach rests on an elaborate Ponzi scheme her world unravels. As Jake’s crime is uncovered, the world obsesses about Phoebe. Did she know her life was fabricated by fraud? Was she his accomplice?

While Jake is trapped in the web of his deceit, Phoebe is caught in an unbearable choice. Her children refuse to see her if she remains at their father’s side, but abandoning him feels cruel and impossible.

From penthouse to prison, with tragic consequences rippling well beyond Wall Street, Randy Susan Meyers’s latest novel exposes a woman struggling to survive and then redefine her life as her world crumbles.

I’ve been seeing this one everywhere, and my anticipation has grown.  Now I can’t wait!

What has your week been like?
