BOOK OF THE MONTH: NOVEMBER 2019

Dear FictionAddicts,

I know it’s been a minute. As usual I went into hibernation mode without notice. I’m sorry guys but I’m back now. Who missed me? 

What a way to kick of the weekend, which I know is the biggest scam of all time because before close and open your eyes, it's all gone. I’m sure you all are itching to know which books are up next so I’ll just get to it without any annoying preamble. 

This month we’ll read  Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris and It’s Always The Husband by Michele Campbell.

Behind Closed Doors, B.A.Paris:

Everyone knows a couple like Jack and
Grace. He has looks and wealth, she has charm and elegance. You might not want to like them but you do. You’d like to know Grace better. But it’s difficult, because you realise Jack and Grace are never apart. Some might call this true love. Others might ask why Grace never answers the phone. Or why she can never meet for coffee, even when she doesn’t work. How can she cook such elaborate meals but remain so slim? And why are there bars on one of the bedroom windows?  Sometimes, the perfect marriage is the perfect lie.

Here are some popular quotes from this novel.

  • "And they don't have children yet. Gallantry tends to fly out of the window once familiarity and babies install themselves in a relationship."
  • " I can't help thinking it's a shame he's such a sadistic bastard, because he has such wonderful manners." 
  • I look around at everybody laughing and joking together and struggle to understand how my life has become a living hell that nobody present could even begin to imagine."

It’s Always the Husband,  Michele Campbell
Kate, Aubrey and Jenny first met as roommates
and soon become
inseparable despite being as different as three women can be. Kate was beautiful, wild,wealthy and damaged. Aubrey on financial aid came from a broken home and wanted more than anything, to distance herself from her past. And Jenny was a striver- ambitious, brilliant and
determined to succeed. As an unlikely friendship formed, the three of them swore, they would always be there for each other. But twenty years later one of them is standing at the edge of a bridge and someone is urging her to jump. How did it come to this? Kate married the party boy, Aubrey married up and Jenny married the boy next door. But how can these three women love and hate each other? Can feelings this strong lead to murder? When one of them dies under mysterious circumstances, will every one assume, as is always the case, that it’s always the husband?

Here are some popular quotes from this novel 

  • "Aubrey became a reader early so she wouldn't feel alone in her apartment at night."
  • But in the midst of the bustle, he felt a strange communion with Kate".

Hugs,

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.

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.
