The first WAYR? of 2013. Last year this weekly event worked so well for recording thoughts on the books I read the previous week that I will continue with this format. I will link to posts on individual reviews.
Thoughts on the Books I Read Last Week:
Rich has plans for his life. He got a new job in the printing department of a law firm and is attending law school at night. He quickly makes friends with his co-workers and settles into his job. Shortly one of the lawyers recognizes him from their younger days and draws him into a scheme to make money that had me turning the pages as quickly as I could. This book was a quick read.
Alex Cross is home anticipating the holiday with his family when he gets a phone call that sets off a series of events that has him wondering if he will survive. There were a couple of times when I wondered if this was the end of Alex, and turned the pages with anticipation of what he would be facing next. Thankfully, he survives. ;)Also Read:

I really enjoyed flipping the pages of Fifteen Digits, too!
OOOH! Astry! I didnt know she had a new book out!
I've got a little catching up to do on my Alex Cross books, glad this one was good. I'm a fan of Mia Marlowe's writing so I'll have to check out Waking Up with a Rake. Have a great week Nise and happy reading :)
enjoy your week of reading.
Louise Erdrich is on my list!
I do not know that book by Emma Donaghue, intersting
The Round House sounds like a nice read. What genre is it? Enjoy reading!
Find out what I'm reading this week!
Hope you enjoyed Klassen's newest! I haven't read a Patterson book in about 5 years, and I used to inhale them =)
Thanks for visiting my post!
Round House is on my wish list for sometime soon; Fifteen Digits caught my eye and it looks like one I'd enjoy.
Have a great week!
Here's MY MONDAY MEMES POST
I didn't realize Emma Donoghue had a new book out - will have to see if my library has it.
A new James Patterson book is out today - Private Berlin. I'll be heading to the bookstore later today to pick up a copy and I believe that a new Alex Cross book is due out in February!
Have a great week!

I have so many Patterson books to get caught up on it is just crazy. Entered a challenge to catch up on the Woman's Murder Club but I need to get to so many others. lol
Happy Reading!!
I'm curious to see what your thoughts on The Round House. I tried listening to it and just couldn't get into it. It could have just been the time I tried so I'll give it another go but I'd like to see if you're enjoying it.
I love Alex Cross.
Monday weekly
Both of those sound good to me!

With all the Patterson books I've read and loved over the years, I never read Alex Cross - although his books are in my TBR. They sound so good. Enjoy.

I haven't read an Alex Cross book in a while. That's the only Patterson series I ever read.
Oooh, I'm very intrigued by In the Woods!! Enjoy!
I can't figure out which Alex book I left off with. So glad to know he survives. If Patterson kills him off I will be crushed!!
Fifteen Digits looks good!
