Okay, I got sucked into the world of Lit and had a bit of trouble getting back to the real world.
I have read Jojo Moyes' Me Before You and After You. If you want a book that will make you laugh and cry, these are it. I'm sure many may have seen the movie for Me Before You. Let me tell you, the book is way better. And the sequel helps you deal with the first book, a little. A very, very little. I haven't gotten around to reading the last book, Still me, yet. I don't know if I've recovered enough.
I have read almost all of Georgette Heyer's Regency novels and read all her Georgian novels. Her work is smart, funny and witty. Reading one of her stories is like taking a trip into another world. She now ranks as one of my Favorite authors.
I've discovered a fondness for YA Dystopian. The Selection series, The Lunar Chronicles, The Maze Runner Trilogy, and (of course) The Hunger Games Trilogy are the ones I have read so far.
I owe you one by Sophie Kinsella is another laugh-out-loud joy by one of my favorite writers. Fixie Farr's biggest fault (in her eyes, anyway) is her overwhelming urge to fix thing. From a soda spill to her loved ones lives, Fixie has to fix it. I want to say congratulations to Sophie Kinsella on having Can you keep a secret? turned into a movie. I can't wait to see it. If you haven't read that folks, do it soon. You'll thank me later.
After watching The Finest Hours, I simply had to read the book. The Finest Hours by Michael J. Tougias and Casey Sherman is a book that I had trouble putting down. I love how they take you further than the movie and let you know what happened with the Pendleton and the Fort Mercer. While Disney did a great job on the movie, I don't think Bernie Webber would've liked the movie portrayal of himself. In short, if you enjoyed the movie you are going to want to read this book.
If you ever have gone a terrible breakup due to a lying cheating mate, The Ladies Room by Carolyn Brown is pure delight just waiting for you. When Trudy goes to the ladies room at her Great aunt Gert's funeral, she never expected to overhear her cousins gossip, much less about her. As Trudy learns that her perfect life is all a lie, she resolves that no one is going to call her "Poor Trudy" anymore. The best revenge is a life well lived. The Ladies Room is one novel you will struggle to put down at 3 am. This is experience talking.
Sofia Khan is not obliged by Ayisha Malik is for anyone who ever had to hear that irritating question from family members " So, why aren't you in a relationship?". Those questions ought to be banned. Sofia breaks up with her boyfriend right before Ramadan because she in no absolute way wants to move in with him, his parents, his brother and sister-in-law plus two kids, and his sister and brother-in-law plus three kids. It's a tad crowded. After mentioning it casually at a work meeting, her Boss asks her to write a book about Muslim dating. How on Earth is she supposed to do that? We follow Sofia for a year as she tries to write a book, hide her dad's cigarettes, and maybe, just maybe find true love. Sofia is a gem. Ayisha Malik does a wonderful job portraying what life is like when you're a hijabi in the UK.
This is only a portion of what I read. Keep Posted!
