Reading These Days

or in my case listening to these days.. I've been reading  Legal Ethics - but my for fun listen to in commutes have been

Open Book by Jessica Simpson

I loved this honest and raw book. I won't lie I have been a huge Jessica fan right from "Is this chicken or fish that I have". I however really appreciated the inside look to everything she has/ is dealing with and her very candid sharing of her personal struggles.

City of Girls - Elizabeth Gilbert

I enjoyed this book so much.. A few days I was sorry my commute was already over, as I only listen when I am on my way to and from work. The story makes you want to be friends with Vivvy and experiencing everything with her as she navigates life both before and after WW2.

DNF

Wallis in Love - Andrew Morton 

I wanted to like this, being a huge fan and follower for decades of the Royal family, but I just can't this book is insanely tedious, I found myself turning it off more than once and just listening to the traffic report with more enthusiasm. 

Up Next

Today is release day for a friend of mine's latest. Her book signing is Thursday, where I will pick up a hardback copy and dive head first into a Veronica Speedwell Adventure!

  

I Started Reading Again..

One thing that I had found that I just could not do was quiet my mind and focus on reading - until this past 6 weeks or so. Since then I have read 4 books and started on another. When I found I could actually just low down and read I logged back into my NetGalley account and requested to become an active reviewer once more.

One the first books on my shelf is The Ex's Revenge by Jo Jakeman. What started off as me reading for about an hour before I went to bed ended up becoming a read until 3 am session.  This book was an amazing read that had me saying just gonna finish this chapter, to I cant go to sleep yet - not after that

The Ex's Revenge is a wonderful read with suspense, very few predictable moments and a lot of wait did that just happen?? I enjoyed the journey Jo took me on while I followed Imogen, Naomi and Ruth through the past individual hopes and dreams and acceptance of what was instead of what should have been.

The Ex's Revenge is a tale of domestic abuse with several plot twists and a dramatic ending well deserved for all parties involved.  It is not exactly poolside reading but it is turn off the phone Friday night well into early Saturday morning read.



**I did receive this is the novel from NetGalley for my review - however, the opinions are all mine**
