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,

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 bes...

Book of the Month: February Hello booklovers. Welcome to the month of February. Wasn't it just yesterday, when we were calling out cheerfully,"Happy New Year" to loved ones and friends? Wow! Time keeps sneaking up on us. The book of the month for February is Me before You (Jojo Moyes).  Me before you is the story of William Traynor, who got involved in an accident  which left him confined to a wheelchair. He lived life on the fast lane and had everything going for him until the accident ruined his life. Lou Clark is the girl with no ambitions in life who is employed by the Traynors to take care of their son, Will. But even the chatty Lou could only do so much tor him. She would later learn that he had once attempted taking his own life and her real purpose of supposedly taking care of him was to ensure that he never attempts it again..... Well, I don't think there'll be any dry eyes in the house by the time we are done and dusted with, Me before You. ...
