Book of the Month : May 2018


My dear Fictionaddicts,

April was such a fantastic month and I’m sure you all were spellbound by the books we read last month. As always I’m sorry this post is a bit late, but it’s better late than never.

This May, we’ll read Still Me by Jojo Moyes and Revenge Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger.



Still Me is the third book in the Me Before You series. Louisa Clark arrives in New York ready to start a new life, confident that she can embrace this new adventure and keep her relationship with Ambulance Sam alive across several thousand miles. She steps into the world of the super rich working for Leonard Gopnik and his much younger wife Agnes. Lou is determined to get the most out of the experience and throws herself into her new job in New York.
As she beings to mix in New York high society, Lou meets Joshua Ryan, a man who brings with him a whisper of her past. Before long she is torn between Fifth Avenue where she works and the treasure-filled vintage clothing store where she actually feels at home. When matters come to a head, she has to ask herself: Who is Louisa Clark? And how do you find the courage to follow your heart - wherever that may lead?

 Revenge Wears Prada (The Devil Wears Prada #2) by Lauren Weisberger:   Almost a decade has passed since Andy Sachs quit the job “a million girls would die for” working for Miranda Priestly at Runway magazine – a dream that turned out to be a nightmare. Andy and Emily, her former nemesis and co-assistant, have since joined forces to start a high end bridal magazine, The Plunge, which has become quickly required reading for the young and stylish. Now they get to call the shots. Andy writes and travels to her heart’s content; Emily plans parties and secures advertising like a seasoned pro. Even better as Andy has met the love of her life. Max Harrison, scion of a storied media family, is confident, successful and drop dead gorgeous. Their wedding will be splashed across all the society pages as their friends and family gather to toast the glowing couple. Andy Sachs is on top of the world. But karma is a bitch. The morning of her wedding, Andy can’t shake the past and when she discovers a secret letter with crushing implications, her wedding-day turns to cold dread. Andy realizes that nothing– not her husband nor her beloved career – is as it seems. She never suspected that her efforts to build a bright new life would lead her back into the darkness she barely escaped ten years ago– and directly into the path of the devil herself.

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

BOOK OF THE MONTH : JANUARY 2020

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. The Lying Game by Ruth Ware   Four women have been carrying a terrible secret since their boarding school days and that secret is about to be literally unearthed. The text message arrives in the small hours of the night. It’s just three words: I need you. Isa drops everything, takes her baby daughter and heads str

BOOK OF THE MONTH : MARCH, 2021

Dear FictionAddicts, 2021 is already 2 months and 10 days old. I’m not going to give a new year speech, the year is already old and 2020 was a …..well, it was a vibe, mood, cruise, a corona virus year and a forced vacation all wrapped up in one. It’s March and the weather is not friendly at all with the sun scorching everything in its path . Please drink lots of water, stay hydrated, wear a mask and stay safe. This March we will read The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware and The Other Woman by Sandie Jones   The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware When Rowan Caine stumbles upon the ad, she was looking for something else completely. But it seemed too good an opportunity to pass on. It was a live-in nanny post, with a very generous salary. When she arrives at Heatherbrae House, Rowan is smitten by the luxurious “smart” home fitted with every modern convenience imaginable, by the beautiful Scottish Highlands and by this picture-perfect family. Her employer Sandra Elincourt is
