BOOK OF THE MONTH: NOVEMBER 2018


Dear FictionAddicts,

Can you really believe it is November, the month of Thanksgiving and the month before Christmas?  It’s almost as if New Year’s Day was just yesterday and I closed my eyes and opened them and now it’s November. How time flies!

As you would have noticed, there was no post in October. I’m so sorry about that. Work so sooo hectic and as much as tried I just could not find time to write. Some day I’ll be my own boss and do the things I love when I want to.

This November, we’ll read The Hate U Give (now in Cinemas but it might be better if you read it before seeing the movie) and The Sudden Departure of The Frasers


The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas:

Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil, at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed.

Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil’s name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr.
But what Starr does -or does not say upend her community. It could also endanger her life.

The Sudden Departure of The Frasers by Louise Candlish




Welcome to Lime Park Road. A picture-perfect street with a street at its heart.
When Joe and Christy Davenport step behind the Oxford Blue painted door of their “forever” home, they believe their dreams have come true.
Yet the boxes aren’t even unpacked before a series of events leads Christy to become obsessed with the previous occupant, the glamourous, enigmatic Amber Fraser, whose departure from Lime Park is shrouded in mystery.
What happened to her? And why are Joe and Christy’s attempts at friendship with neighbors met with an unnerving silence?

As Christy unravels the shocking truth about the Frasers and the place she now calls home, she discovers that behind the closed doors of even the most desirable postcodes, terrible secrets lurk.

Welcome to the world of a fiction addict!

Hi there lovelies! Welcome to FictionAddictbooks.blogspot.com. I’m so glad to be writing this blog and did I mention this is my first blog.  I had taken a long hiatus from reading for pleasure (a hiatus that's unforgivably long) and only recently returned from the said hiatus. So I kind of have a busy life and all but I decided it was time to go back to my earliest hobby (if reading fiction qualifies as a hobby).  The purpose of FictionAddictbooks blog is to share my journey through the pages of books that I read. I want to share the lows and highs, the suspense, the humor,, the thrills  and all that is in each book that I read with YOU. I hope to do this without boring you. . So come on along with me as we journey into the magical world of  fiction books.

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 Elincour...
