My Book List

So I've been in sort of a readying frenzy lately...I have had so much time on my hands since I only have class 2 days a week, and we're not in our new house yet, and I'm not teaching piano out in Tooele yet. So I've been reading a ton! Here are some of my new recommendations:

  • James Patterson Women's Murder Club Series: they are murder mysteries, not a lot of language or sex which is nice, and there is a little bit of romance in them. But they will definitely keep you on your toes! That and I LOVE that James Patterson's chapters are like 2 pages long, which makes it easier to put down during an interruption (aka kids or husbands or housework) There are 8 books right now in the series, and I have read the 1st 5. They are definitely like one day reads!
  • The Jester by James Patterson: This one is placed in the time of the Crusades in France and it is an action novel with a lot of romance. The downside to it is there is quite a bit of language, and a bit more sex in it. But the storyline is a great one!
  • Lie Down with Lions by Ken Follet: This is a modern day love story/war story about a CIA agent and a russian spy in love with the same woman. It's placed in Afghanistan and has a lot of history about the afghan people which I really liked. Like the Jester, there is more language and sex in it, but is definitely a thriller.

If you guys have any other books you love, let me know. I've made a nice, long booklist for myself. I love murder mysteries and thrillers mostly, but it's always nice to have a little love story in it too. I will probably continue to give my book recommendations as I keep reading!

The 2 at the top of my list for you to read right now are "The Hunger Games" and "Catching Fire" by Suzanne Collins. SOOOO GOOD!! Catching Fire just barely came out this month and is the sequal to the Hunger Games.

I want to read the second one you listed. And I'm sad you are moving but that just gives Nate and I more of a reason to come stay at your house. :)

Hi Kylee!!!!
Thanks for the book list. I am always looking for a good read. Have you read anything by Harlan Coben? He is one of my faves. I have read quite a few from him and they are so addicting, and hard to put down.
