The Perfect Neighbors

As a big Sarah Pekkanen fan from the get-go, I dutifully pre-ordered this gem, The Perfect Neighbors, from Barnes & Noble.  And then it didn't arrive.  Several days later, no sign of it.  Checked my order status online and found my pre-order to be, "Delivered at buyer's address!" by the US Postal Service. What??  I've got no book here, people!  Then just as mysteriously as it hadn't been delivered, my book ARRIVED a week later. *sigh*  Weird. Now I'm REALLY ready to read it and hope whoever was sitting on my pre-order enjoyed it, too.

We just love to read.

This Is Where I Leave You

So in between current reads we sneaked in  Jonathan Tropper's book,  This Is Where I Leave You.Did you read this one?  Or see the movie?  If so, we'd sure like to know what you thought about it!

Compare. Contrast.

A Grown-Up Kind of Pretty

Finally, after that 500+ page Deborah Harkness event, we're ready to move on to the next book on our reading list.  A Grown-Up Kind of Prettyby Joshilyn Jackson is our latest choice and is described by Booklist (Starred Review) as  "...a mesmerizing tale ...This is Jackson's most absorbing book yet, a lush, rich read with three very different but equally compelling characters at its core."

Sounds like perfectly peachy read.

The Book of Life

Where'd we go?  Oops - big apologies about that reading lapse, but life took over here for a bit.  Speaking of life, our current bookclub selection is by a favorite writer to our club who goes by the name of Deborah Harkness.  Yes, we've read the first two books in her All Souls Trilogy and now must read the final installment, The Book of Life. And guess what?  This book promises all kinds of  "mystery, suspense, and romance" along with new "crises and enemies" to make things interesting.

... because we're due for a good vampire/witch read.

Someday, Someday, Maybe

Heads up to Lauren Graham's debut novel called Someday, Someday, Maybe,another book to add to our summer reading schedule.  So basically, if you're already into the Jojo Moyes book and can't put it down, carry on as usual.  But if you need a diversion, pick up Someday, Someday, Maybe and join in with us.  Or read both simultaneously.  Nothing wrong with that!

As you were, readers.

Safe & Sound

BONUS:  At the request of our new debut author, T.S. Krupa, we are also now flipping through Safe & Sound- because after only a few pages, we are completely sucked in.
