What Are You Reading?

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.

The warmth of summer finally arrived believe it or not on the first day of summer!  We went from low 70s right into the high 80s, it may even hit 90 this week.

Thoughts on the Books I Read Last Week:

Indiscretion by Charles Dubow

Harry and Maddy are the "it" couple of the Hamptons. They are great friends, hosts and everyone wants to attend their parties. Claire arrives with boyfriend, and it immediately drawn into this couple's circle of friends. I enjoyed getting to know these characters during the first half of the book, then the indiscretion happens and quickly I turn on the characters. Walter, the best friend, narrates the story cleverly, but don't expect a happy ending. A well written debut.

The Comfort of Lies by Randy Susan Meyers

The Comfort of Lies, a novel about the collateral damage of infidelity, reveals the darkest and most private thoughts of three women.
I should have never read this book right after reading Indiscretion as they were too similar with badly behaving characters.  While well written and realistic, I did not care about these characters.

First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones

Another series that many bloggers recommended that is spot on! Charley is a private investigator working with her Uncle Bob, a cop.  She is also a grim reaper, she.  Charley sees dead people. They help her solve their cases and she helps them to “go into the light.” A hilarious, fun read. 

Requiem by Lauren Oliver

Lately the final books in a trilogy have been underwhelming for me.  I am sad to say it is the same with Requiem. The ending felt so rushed and not quite resolved.  I was expecting way more in the relationship between Lena/Alex/Julian.  Not bad, but not what I wanted.

One Foot in the Grave by Jeaniene Frost

Cat is leading a team for the government to hunt down and kill the rogue undead.  She is reunited with Bones after four years and agrees to allow him to be part of the team in order to hunt down those who have targeted her for assassination.  Another fun, humorous page turner.  I will definitely continue on with this series.
