I'm reading (Don't You) Forget About Me by Kate Karyus Quinn. I am not quite halfway through and I am not sure how I feel about it. Hoping it picks up soon. It is #14 for the year.
I am reading 3rd Degree by James Patterson and it's ok so far. I'm not sure yet if it's for WBC yet or not. It will be if I can fit it into one of the categories.
I would probably recommend We Were Liars. I just finished that one last weekend and loved it!
I'm reading 'Beautiful Creatures' by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. I'm liking it so far more than I expected to. It is for WBC and is #8 for the year.
I would recommend 'The Nightingale' by Kristin Hannah. Soooo good!
I should finish listening to Cavendon Hall by Barbara Taylor Bradford today. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. Very Downton Abbey-ish.
#s15 & 16
I would recommend Yellow Crocus by Laila Ibrahim.

Last night I finished Mean Streak by Sandra Brown. I absolutely LOVED it!!!
I just started The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. #7 for the year.
I've mostly read suspense thrillers this year so I hope friend would enjoy them. If so, I would recommend either Mean Streak by Sandra Brown or The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins
Earlier this week I finished Stolen Songbird by Danielle Jensen, and I found it quite entertaining and fairly well written, if a little predictable. I'm about halfway through The Assassin's Blade by Sarah Maas, and I'm enjoying it.
I'm stilling working my way through The Girl with all the Gifts. I like it but I'm so bogged down with reading for grad school, I can't find the motivation to pick it up.
I'm listening to Deadly Decisions by Kathy Reichs. I love the Bones books and this one is as good as I expected.
I'm really close to finishing the audiobook of First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones. It's fun and flirty and I like the author's sense of humor, but I don't know if I'll rush out and grab the next books in the series.
I'm also reading Bad Feminist and Compulsion, but I started Invaded anyway too.
My recent book pushing for anyone who likes mysteries has been centered on the In Death series by JD Robb.
I've been kind of absent around here lately, which I hate. Work was busy this week. I'm trying to decide between the next In Death book (Judgment, #11) or a reread of Pride and Prejudice. I'll probably read Judgment in Death.
I actually recommend Nora Roberts books the most, but most of the people who ask me for recs are looking for a romance novel. I would love to recommend other stuff too.
I just finished Isla and the Happily ever after this morning. #7 I'm going to start Bloodlines next. I'm also listening to Black Dagger Brotherhood Rehv's book which I can't remember the name of.
