I probably read more than the average person, typically in a
year I read about a book a week. It’s certainly not completely evenly spread-
when I am working and only reading on my
commutes and before bed I am reading at a slower pace, and vacations I tend to
pick up and read a lot more. It’s truly
my favorite hobby- there’s nothing better to me than falling into a book and
not being able to put it down. I thought I’d share some recent great reads in
case you’re hankering for a recommendation.
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. If you like twisted tales of
who’s really the guilty party, this is a page turner. Just when you start to
think one thing, you realize another character is even crazier than the last.
Added bonus with this one is that it’s going to be a movie this fall staring
Mr. Ben Affleck.
A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin. The first
installment of The Game of Thrones – not just a geeky fantasy book, but one
with all sorts of tales. I particularly enjoy the different viewpoints as each chapter switches
characters. I am very fond of young Bran Stark- who’s only eight years old in
this first book.
The Hit by David Baldacci. I have always enjoyed crime
thrillers and this one was definitely had some interesting plots. When I discovered
David Baldacci a few years ago, I was impressed by the topical subject matter,
that really makes you wonder what the leaders of any government are up to –
even our own. It feels like there’s so much going on behind the scenes, and
this novel really makes you think about that.
I'd love any recommendations for next reads if you have one.
