Book of the Month : August

Wow! I can hardly believe it’s August. July was a good month in more ways than one and I’m sure you all had fun with last month’s book of the month.

The book of the month for August is Can You Keep a Secret by Sophie Kinsella.

Emma Corrigan is a young lady with a huge heart, a nervous flyer and more than a few secrets. Sitting on a turbulent plane and thinking it might be her last moments, she starts spewing her secrets with reckless abandon to the American gentleman sitting next to her on the plane, but she’s too frightened to even notice. She tells him all her fibs about her size, how she is not sure she has a g-spot, how the coffee at work is horrible, how she once threw a trouble client file in the bin, just to mention a few. She survives the turbulence and finds out the next day at work that the American from the plane is her new boss at the mega corporation which she works for. She soon realizes that he remembers everything she said on the flight . Things couldn’t possibly get worse.

That’s it folks! I hope you enjoy this one. Have a blissful August… Mwahh.

BOOK OF THE MONTH: MARCH

Dear FictionAddicts, Say hello to March. It's so hot these days it feels like we are in a oven baking. I really can't wait for the rains and heavy downpours. I’m sure you had as much pleasant time as I did reading the last two books of the month. This month we will read The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman and The Wives by Tarryn Fisher . The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman Nina Hill is a young woman supremely confident in her own... shell. The only child of a single mother, Nina has her life just as she wants it: a job in a bookstore, a kick-butt trivia team, a world-class planner and a cat named Phil. If she sometimes suspects there might be more to life than reading she just shrugs and picks up a new book. When the father she never knew existed suddenly dies, leaving behind innumerable sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews , Nina is horrified. They all live close by! They’re all or mostly all excited to meet her! She’’l

Dear FictionAddicts, Five, Four, Three, Two, One!!!!, Happy (Not)So New Year! (the year is already Seven days old but…). Does anyone wonder where the holidays went so quickly…? Sigh. Now it’s back to the trenches, more goals to set and more targets to meet and even more deadly deadlines. I want to quickly say that I’m glad we made it into the new year. It is my prayer that this year counts for you all in every positive way possible. Great milestones achieved with less stress. May the grace of God be more than sufficient for US all this year. Amen. That said, this month we will read, The Lying Game by Ruth Ware and The Guardians by John Grisham.
