One book I stumbled across was Lexicon by Max Berry which captured me attention right off and I had to work really hard to not to buy it right then and there. Listed as a cerebral thriller you just gotta read the excerpt to get caught up. But that could be just me…. LOL!
“They recruited Emily Ruff from the streets. They said it was because she’s good with words.
They’ll live to regret it.
They said Wil Parke survived something he shouldn’t have. But he doesn’t remember.
Now they’re after him and he doesn’t know why.
There’s a word, they say. A word that kills.
And they want it back . . .”
It’s on my wishlist for later.
I finished Cassandra Clare’s Sword Catcher which is the beginning of a 4 book series which is full of dark magic and secrets and was excellent. The story captured me from the very beginning and held my attention the whole way through. Made me mad, confused, glad, and sad. Who would rue the day? To be continued in the next book, The Ragpicker King.
Currently reading The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton which is convoluted and thrilling and the writing is awesome.
“Evelyn Hardcastle will be murdered at 11:00 p.m.
There are eight days, and eight witnesses for you to inhabit.
We will only let you escape once you tell us the name of the killer.
Understood? Then let’s begin . . .
Evelyn Hardcastle will die. Every day until Aiden Bishop can identify her killer and break the cycle. But every time the day begins again, Aiden wakes up in the body of a different guest. And some of his hosts are more helpful than others . . .” So so very good.
Also dipping my toes into a light hearted romantic comedy (very flufferton) Lease on Love by Falon Ballard.
Our Saturday night movie was Electric State with Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt. Enjoyed the heck out of it.
