One of my most favorite things to do is read, I just love it. Anytime, anywhere, my kindle is always in my purse just in case i can steal a few moments of reading time here and there. Finding good books can be hard sometimes, and I find that i have gotten the best recomendations from friends, family and some of my favorite bloggers. I thought I would post a few of my most recent, and favorite books that I have read in hopes that maybe you will enjoy them as much as I did.
"Gone Girl: A Novel" By Gillian Flynn
I am currently reading this book, and so far, I am definitely hooked. Gillian Flynn has an amazing writing style that paints such a great picture of the story she is telling. The book is a suspense novel, which is something I am normally not into, but with all the rave reviews I thought I would give it a shot, and I am glad i did.
On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne’s fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick’s clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn’t doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife’s head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media—as well as Amy’s fiercely doting parents—the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he’s definitely bitter—but is he really a killer?
"Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness" By Susannah Cahalan
This book left me speechless. Frightening, yet eye opening, Susannah Cahalan tells her story about her month of literal madness. This book was an awesome read, and also sheds some light on how many illnesses are out there that go undiagnosed on a daily basis. I would absolutely suggest this book, it had me at the edge of my seat the whole time.
One day in 2009, twenty-four-year-old Susannah Cahalan woke up alone in a strange hospital room, strapped to her bed, under guard, and unable to move or speak. A wristband marked her as a “flight risk,” and her medical records—chronicling a month-long hospital stay of which she had no memory at all—showed hallucinations, violence, and dangerous instability. Only weeks earlier, Susannah had been on the threshold of a new, adult life: a healthy, ambitious college grad a few months into her first serious relationship and a promising career as a cub reporter at a major New York newspaper. Who was the stranger who had taken over her body? What was happening to her mind?
"Drinking and Tweeting: And Other Brandi Blunders"
By: Brandi Glanville
I will admit it, i am a Real Housewives addict. Every time a new episode airs, I find myself counting the days until the next one. Its sad, but hey, everyone has their vices.
Brandi Glanville is my favorite housewife, with her witty humor, and tell it like it is personality, I cant help but find myself wishing she was one of my best friends.
This book is typical Brandi style, and had me laughing hysterically from page one. Not only is it an entertaining read, its really a story of triumph and finding herself after enduring such a public, and devastating divorce. This is a great beach read just in time for summer!
She’s the brutally honest breath of fresh air on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, known for her dramatic divorce, her barely-there clothing, and her inability to keep her mouth shut. So why should she change now? Brandi Glanville tells all in this hilarious, no-holds-barred memoir.
I am so excited that the days are warmer, and the sun is deciding to show its face more frequently. For me, this means plenty of days spent outside, soaking up the sun, and burying myself in a good book.
What books have you been unable to put down lately?
