Here are some books that are worth reading.
The Last Time We Say Goodbye by Cynthia Hand
Cynthia Hand is a NY Times' bestselling author whose story about love, loss and mystery seems to be a book we're all going to want to read this year. Popular for her young adult books, this novel appears to be different. I plan on checking it out.
Dark Places by Gillian Flynn
Gillian Flynn is not a stranger in the mustread world. Her hit Gone Girl was all over the place in 2012. I'm going to recommend you to pick up a copy of Dark Places before watching the movie. I read it recently, and I just like it better than Gone Girl.
Things You Won't Say by Sarah Pekkanen
Sarah Pekkanen is one of my favorite fiction authors. Her novels have entertained me and captured my attention one after the other. Her writing style is realistic and downtoearth. Things You Won't Say should absolutely be added to your spring or summer reading list.
The Boston Girl by Anita Diamant
The Boston Girl, a tale of a grandmother telling her life story to her granddaughter, sounds touching and quite possibly like required reading. I'm not sure what else to say except that I've been a longtime fan and look forward to getting my hands on this one.
First Frost by Sarah Addison Allen
Sarah Addison Allen has been one of my favorite authors for years. Her latest novel, First Frost, has come out. Addison Allen's writing style is a beautiful one. She's got a mystical way to writing that captures the heart and mind. I look forward to reading First Frost this year.
