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.

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: August 2018

Fiction addicts get in here! Hellooo its AUGUST and I have a confession to make. You see, I’ve been putting the books on out here from month to month but I only just caught up with the books of the month this July. What I mean is that I post of the books of the month but I don’t actually read the book of the month. I actually read the books of the last month. Can you imagine that? Well that’s what happens when life gets in the way of my reading. I had to read three books from previous posts this July just to catch up. I pushed myself hard. Now that my confession is out of the way, I feel relieved. I trust we were pleased with An American Marriage and The Girl on the Train . I get the feeling that An American Marriage will be made into a TV series or movie. It was a very nice read with so many likeable quotes. This month we will read, The Woman in the Window and Little Fires Everywhere The Woman in the Window by A.J Finn: Anna Fox lives alone – a recluse in

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
