So after a break for Christmas, #SundayChallenge has returned :) This week it is read any mystery or thriller. I have ambitiously set my self 3 books this week, 1 i'm already part the way through, then 2 that would count for the challenge.
My Heart & Other Black Holes - Jasmine Warga
Aysel and Roman are practically strangers, but they've been drawn into an unthinkable partnership. In a month's time, they plan to commit suicide - together.
Aysel knows why she wants to die: being the daughter of a murderer doesn't equal normal, well-adjusted teenager. But she can't figure out why handsome, popular Roman wants to end it all....and why he's even more determined than she is.
With the deadline getting closer, something starts to grow between Aysel and Roman - a feeling she never thought she would experience. It seems there might be something to live for, after all - but is Aysel in so deep she can't turn back?
I have already started this book, and oh my! It is really really good so far, certainly getting me out of my reading slump!!
#SundayChallenge Book 1
The Girl on The Train - Paula Hawkins
Rachel catches the same commuter train every morning. She knows it will wait at the same signal each time, overlooking a row of back gardens. She’s even started to feel like she knows the people who live in one of the houses. ‘Jess and Jason’, she calls them. Their life – as she sees it – is perfect. If only Rachel could be that happy.
And then she sees something shocking. It’s only a minute until the train moves on, but it’s enough.
Now everything’s changed. Now Rachel has a chance to become a part of the lives she’s only watched from afar.
Now they’ll see; she’s much more than just the girl on the train…
I've been dying to read this due to the fact that everyone I know LOVES it! So this weeks #sundaychallenge was the perfect opportunity to make me read it
#SundayChallenge Book 2
The Book of You - Claire Kendal
Clarissa is becoming more and more frightened of her colleague, Rafe. He won’t leave her alone, and he refuses to take no for an answer. He is always there.
Being selected for jury service is a relief. The courtroom is a safe haven, a place where Rafe can’t be. But as a violent tale of kidnap and abuse unfolds, Clarissa begins to see parallels between her own situation and that of the young woman on the witness stand.
Realizing that she bears the burden of proof, Clarissa unravels the twisted, macabre fairytale that Rafe has spun around them – and discovers that the ending he envisions is more terrifying than she could have imagined.
I had seen a few people review this, so picked it up while in a bookshop, read the synopsis on the back which intrigued me as a 'to buy in the future' and flicked through briefly, and I am ashamed to say this book called out to me as it used different fonts for different thing, so was immediately updated to the 'must buy this very instant' list of books.
