It is New Book Release Time!
Yesterday I downloaded a book released last week…one I had forgotten about:
An American Marriage, by Tayari Jones (An Oprah 2018 Selection)
“A tense and timely love story . . . Packed with brave questions about race and class.”— People
“Compelling.”— The Washington Post
“Epic . . . Transcendent . . . Triumphant.”—Elle
***
Then…today I downloaded this new thriller from Jonathan Kellerman: Night Moves.
The #1 New York Times bestselling author and master of the psychological thriller makes all the right moves in this new novel of spellbinding suspense.
I am a big fan of this author…but I still have another of his books on Pippa…unread: Crime Scene, a collaboration between Jonathan and Jesse Kellerman. I must admit that the collaboration gave me pause…although I’ve read books by Jesse, too.
I do prefer the Alex Delaware/Milo Sturgis books by Jonathan, however. But…I’ll bring this one forward, since I’ve had it since last summer.

Last night I finished reading another book that I downloaded recently (in January): Lie With Me, by Sabine Durrant – (click for my review).
Since I stayed up late reading it, I was surprised to wake up early today, so I quickly wrote the review. I had planned to sleep in, but my body and mind had other ideas.
Next I’ll be reading Two Girls Down, by Louisa Luna:

Today is my oldest granddaughter Aubrey’s 21st birthday (she’s older than my other granddaughter, Fiona, by eight days!). She has had an interesting year, attending a university semester in Prague during the Fall. Check out this frightening move: playing with her phone…on a ledge? Perhaps it is not as risky as it looks…

What bookish or not-so-bookish risks are you taking these days? Are you looking forward to any new releases? What are you reading?

Lol to your granddaughter and happy birthday to her… 🙂 🙂 I haven’t read anything from Kellerman but I have few of his books. Think I’m gonna try reading them since you seem to like his books.. 🙂

Thanks, Lili…my two granddaughters astonish me, with the interesting lives they lead. But it seems as though they were babies…just the other day. Sigh.
Not that I’m not enjoying the young adults they’ve become..I am. I just see them less these days.
I hope you enjoy the Kellerman books.

I read and loved Lie With Me And Two Girls Down…I am not taking any risks lately…just trying to stay flu free and healthy and I am reading and loving The Wife…I know you loved that one, too.

Oh, yes, all three of these books are great! I loved The Wife, Lie With Me, and I’m enjoying Two Girls Down.
Health risks are definitely the kind to avoid. Stay away from those flu bugs!
Ever since I retired from working with families and kids every day, I’ve stayed pretty well…knock wood.
Thanks for visiting, Patty.
