Sheila at Book Journey hosts this weekly event where we celebrate what we are reading for the week as well as books completed the previous week.Did not get much reading time last week due to the visitation and funeral for my father-in-law early in the week. Saturday my daughter and I attended a bridal show. Sunday was our first sunny day in weeks and I took full advantage of it and read in the hot tub for 2 hours!
Thoughts on the Books I Read Last Week:
Detectives Ryan and Maddox are investigating the murder of a 12 year old girl. Her body is found in the same area where three kids were playing, two of them went missing 20 years ago. Det. Ryan was one of those kids and has no memory of what happened. Could they be related? The story slowly builds, and then the last 200 pages are page turning fantastic. I am so glad I listened to a few fellow bloggers and read this book. I look forward to the next book.
Listening to:
The Sweet Tooth by Ian McEwan (Juliet Stevenson)
The Chaperon by Laura Moriarty (Elizabeth McGovern)
Fatherhood by Dobson and Bruner ( Bernard Setaro Clark)

I just picked this one up. Hope it's good for me too. Even without the hot tub. I'm so sorry about your father in law, I do know how exhausting grief can be.
I didn't realized you'd be back to blogging so soon. It's nice to see you back.
Here is mine
You've been in my thoughts Nise. I have to pick up the Tana French books, both you and Staci have posted great reviews. Have a good week and enjoy your reads :)
You are listening to some lovely stuff! enjoy.
I've heard good things about Tana French but I don't think I've read anything of hers yet. One of these days! I've been curious about the new McEwan, I hope you're enjoying it.
Have a great week!
I thought I loved In the Woods, then I read The Likeness. Wow! I loved two books by French. Both really good!
I recently listened to In the Woods and loved it, too! Hope I can get to The Likeness before too long.
I also plan on reading Mann :)
I so wish we had a hot tub, I would be permanently water logged :)
My sympathies on the passing of your Father in Law. I liked the review and sounds like a book I'd enjoy so I'm going to pop it onto my to read list.
I've heard alot about In The Woods, but I haven't read it yet. It sounds really good.
Have a great week!
In the Woods does look good! Maybe I'll need to take the advice and read it too.
I'm also listening to The chaperone...looks like you've got several to going and to keep up with! Enjoy!
I'm sorry to hear about your father-in-law, but glad to hear you had an alright week outside of that.
Reading in the hot tub does sound lovely! Hope you enjoy your books this week!
Yes! You liked it!! I see that you are reading/listening to a few that I'm curious about!! Hope your week was great! I'm looking forward to next week when the temps should be 40 by Friday!!!!!!!!!!! Lake effect snow all night last night and all day today...more shoveling.
I'm so glad that you loved In the Woods!
