Just finished reading "The Silent Wife" by A.S.A. Harrison. Actually, I read it in one day. It's been compared to "Gone Girl" but I don't think that's very accurate. The story is written in a similar style (he said / she said) but that's really about it. The main female character, Jodi, is wound up tighter than a top and it's only a matter of time before she loses it on her cheating husband.
I read "The Fault in Our Stars" a couple of weeks ago and really, really did not enjoy this book. Maybe I'm just too old?? I had downloaded it on my Nook and was halfway through it when KJ texted me and asked me to buy her a copy (she has a Kindle so we can't really share books). Anyway, for her to ask me to buy a book is a big deal so when I was visiting T I picked up a copy of the book in one of the airport bookstores. This YA novel is being made into a movie staring Shailene Woodley of "Divergent" fame. She's about to become the new "It" girl in Hollywood. Move over Jennifer Lawrence. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2582846/?ref_=nv_sr_1
I've added a couple of new books to my Nook Wish list:
"Bread and Butter" by Michelle Widgen (see NY Times review here: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/09/books/review/bread-and-butter-by-michelle-wildgen.html?_r=0)
"The Museum of Extraordinary Things" by Alice Hoffman http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/02/books/review/alice-hoffmans-museum-of-extraordinary-things.html
Always on the lookout for a great book! Please share your finds!
