And while I gather up our book-thrills, I’m watching a thriller while I do it. I had to “rent” this one on Amazon as it’s still in theaters, and so far, so good. No regrets on paying for it yet. The main girl has a stalker… so, you know those FREAK. ME. OUT!!! It’s called “Watcher“. Not terrifying, horror movie wise (but if it was MY real life? I would be terrified!!). Certainly creepy and disconcerting (oops, I just hit a super scary moment) and she’s in another country where she doesn’t even speak the language, so she is already not comfortable. And now neither am I.
TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE FOUND FOR THE WEEKEND 
!!
Thank You for Listening: A Novel by Julia Whelan <— RECENT RELEASE & BACK ON THE LIST ‘CAUSE ROCHELLE LOVED IT!

I’m Fine and Neither Are You By Camille Pagán <— SUPER-BARGAIN PRICED & AMY ENJOYED THIS ONE!
Amy: I started I’m Fine and Neither Are You last night, and so far I am LOVING the writing. We’ll see how the actual story goes, but I flew through the first three chapters without even realizing it. Fingers crossed it stays this good!
Amy: I’m at 40% of I’m Fine and Neither Are You, and I’m STILL enjoying it! The writing isn’t flowery or overly descriptive but rather the author packs a punch with her minimalist and straightforward style. The interactions and relationship between the h and her husband are absolutely relatable and just so REAL.

Just finished McFarlane’s Mad About You and it was terrific. It was funny and interesting and the dialogue was Brit-banter gold. So good! If you like Sophie Kinsella, you will love this author.
YAY!!! Thank you so much!! I will add your recommendation to the latest Friday Finds post. 😀
Maryse have you seen Magnolia Parks? That new book that us getting buzz? I’m scared of it, but it sounds right up your angsty aisle.
I am tempted though because it is a part of a series……
I have not but you KNOW I’m going to check it out right now. I love book-buzz!!!!!!!
