In the blink of an eye, the  2017 Solar Eclipse volition live over in addition to the side past times side North American total solar eclipse won't live hither until 2024... So land you're waiting for that, let's verbalise dandy books! (Okay, that may have got been a inexpensive seque to today's books) 

For the lastly few months, I've been reading, but haven't institute "that book". You know that mass that you lot don't desire to end, in addition to that you lot feverishly are glued to 24/7. I've also been busy with a lot of personal stuff, similar planning to retire from "the twenty-four hours job" in addition to starting "the dandy purge" to move. But I spent some fourth dimension at my dandy local indie bookstore latterly (Byrd's Books) in addition to the dandy reading burn was low-cal 1 time again! Yay! So here's what I picked upwards for that lastly hurrah of summertime reading...

The Lying Game past times Ruth Ware... On a cool June morning, a adult woman is walking her domestic dog inwards the idyllic coastal hamlet of Salten along a tidal estuary known every bit the Reach. Before she tin dismiss halt him, the domestic dog charges into the H2O to retrieve what outset appears to live a wayward stick, but to her horror, turns out to live something much to a greater extent than sinister... The side past times side morning, 3 women inwards in addition to around London—Fatima, Thea, in addition to Isabel—receive the text they had ever hoped would NEVER come, from the 4th inwards their formerly inseparable clique, Kate, that says only, “I require you.” The iv girls were best friends at Salten, a 2nd charge per unit of measurement boarding schoolhouse fix close the cliffs of the English linguistic communication Channel. Each dissimilar inwards their ain way, the iv became inseparable in addition to were notorious for playing the Lying Game, telling lies at every plow to both beau boarders in addition to faculty, with varying states of serious in addition to flippant nature that were disturbing plenty to ensure that everyone steered clear of them. The myriad in addition to complicated rules of the game are strict: no lying to each other—ever. Bail on the prevarication when it becomes clear it is virtually to live institute out. But their petty game had consequences, in addition to the girls were all expelled inwards their lastly yr of schoolhouse nether mysterious circumstances surrounding the expiry of the school’s eccentric fine art teacher, Ambrose (who also happens to live Kate’s father). 

This is what I'm addicted to now. I walked into the bookstore originally intending to purchase the Lizzie Borden storey reimagined (See What I Have Done) in addition to did, but this mass caught my eye, in addition to later on reading a petty bit, the writing just hooked me. Ruth Ware is laying the foundation for something OMG, in addition to I can't await to detect out what it is! BTW, Ruth Ware has ii other books that have got striking dwelling runs inwards the literary division (In Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Dark Dark Wood, The Woman inwards Cabin 10) in addition to I'll live putting them on my reading listing if this is keeps upwards the literary feast that I'm enjoying now.

See What I Have Done past times Sarah Schmidt...  Sarah Schmidt recasts 1 of the most fascinating murder cases of all fourth dimension into an intimate storey of a volatile household in addition to a household unit of measurement devoid of love.

On the morn of August 4, 1892, Lizzie Borden calls out to her maid: Someone’s killed Father. The cruel ax-murder of Andrew in addition to Abby Borden inwards their dwelling inwards Fall River, Massachusetts, leaves petty evidence in addition to many unanswered questions. While neighbors combat to sympathise why anyone would desire to impairment the respected Bordens, those closed to the household unit of measurement have got a dissimilar tale to tell―of a begetter with an explosive temper; a spiteful stepmother; in addition to ii spinster sisters, with a bond fifty-fifty stronger than blood, desperate for their independence. As the law search for clues, Emma comforts an increasingly distraught Lizzie whose memories of that morn flash inwards scattered fragments. Had she been inwards the barn or the pear arbor to escape the stifling oestrus of the house? When did she lastly speak to her stepmother? Were they actually gone in addition to would everything live improve now? Shifting alongside the perspectives of the unreliable Lizzie, her older sis Emma, the housemaid Bridget, in addition to the enigmatic stranger Benjamin, the events of that fateful twenty-four hours are piece of cake revealed through a high-wire feat of storytelling.

In the hands of a dandy writer, a historical lawsuit (or good known story) tin dismiss live reimagined in addition to live just wonderful. You know all the players in addition to yet a dissimilar have got tin dismiss electrify the storey 1 time again. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 GREAT example, in addition to withal 1 of my favorite reads, is Dracula inwards Love past times Karen Essex. OMG, this storey is told thru Mina's (Dracula's love interest) betoken of thought in addition to it is but delicious! This seemed to start out a petty slow, but interestingly, then I chose to read The Lying Game first, but volition definitely live reading this next. This mass has gotten rave reviews in addition to I promise it lives upwards to the hype.

Girl inwards Snow past times Danya Kukafka ... When a love high schooler named Lucinda Hayes is institute murdered, no 1 inwards her sleepy Colorado suburb is untouched—not the man child who loved her also much; non the daughter who wanted her perfect life; non the officeholder assigned to investigate her murder. In the aftermath of the tragedy, these 3 indelible characters—Cameron, Jade, in addition to Russ—must each facial expression upwards their darkest secrets inwards an seek to detect solace, the truth, or both. In crystalline prose, Danya Kukafka offers a bright exploration of identity in addition to of the razor-sharp delineate betwixt love in addition to obsession, betwixt watching in addition to seeing, betwixt truth in addition to memory.

This is characterized every bit "Suspense", but my outset impressions every bit I was reading a chip of it were to a greater extent than similar literary fiction with a sprinkling of suspense. I suppose when I listen suspense, I think of "thriller", which is non ever the case. BUT, I actually enjoyed the sample writing of Danya Kukafka in addition to had to seat the mass downwardly earlier I became totally absorbed.

AND Coming Soon to a Bookstore close you... There are a few books that are on my radar... The Burning Girl past times Claire Messud, "A bracing, hypnotic coming-of-age storey virtually the bond of best friends" and a mass past times none other than Nancy Pearl, "America's Librarian, who tin dismiss recommend a practiced mass inwards a heartbeat, but straightaway has written 1 herself. It's called George & Lizzie, "an intimate storey of novel in addition to past times loves, the scars of childhood, in addition to an imperfect matrimony at its defining moments". Will Nancy Pearl's novel writing alive upwards to her review fame? I'm willing to give it a try, just because I'm a Nancy Pearl fan. May live to a greater extent than practical to borrow this 1 though, I've heard some mixed reviews. 

That virtually wraps upwards this weeks mass finds... We'll live dorsum with to a greater extent than dandy books side past times side week, because at that spot were definitely to a greater extent than books I could have got talked about! I think this autumn is going to live a dandy mass reading season!

Happy reading... Suzanne
