January 2016 Must Read Books

My Reading List for January 2016 

 

 

2016 has started with fireworks, "top of the line" selections.  I am quickly making my way turning the pages, and enjoying the variety of talent.  From newfound, debut, to highly anticipated, and the much loved favorite authors.

 

Playing catch up writing reviews this weekend, with our South Florida rainy, thunderstorms, and cozy 71 degree temperature. (sorry Northern book friends and authors, stuck in ice and snow).  

However, we love snow and long to see some white flakes.

(hence the main picture). 

 

In the meantime, enjoy your weekend, and pick a book to curl up with.

You are going to love revisiting Virginia with Mary Ellen Taylor (aka Mary Burton)--her second installment in the Alexandria series. Highly recommend the first book "At the Corner of King Street", and her other series:The Union Street Bakery.  Where you will always find something cooking. 

 

“Taylor’s complex tale spans three families over two centuries and includes a dose of ancient magic, but the story remains grounded in fascinating history and emotional turmoil that is intense yet subtle. An intelligent, heartwarming exploration of the powers of forgiveness, compassion, and new beginnings.”
—Kirkus Reviews 

 

 

SUMMIT LAKE

Charlie Donlea delivers a smashing crime thriller debut!  A gripping murder mystery in North Carolina mountains (I know the area, well), near Hendersonville.  An unspeakable crime. A story of two girls:  One Murdered.  One Trying to Find Out Why.  

 

"A brilliant, haunting thriller in which The Lovely Bones meets The Silence of the Lambs—with a bit of Twin Peaks thrown in for good measure! Charlie Donlea weaves a unique, spellbinding tale about a bond between two fascinating women—one living, one dead. Full of unexpected twists and turns,Summit Lake is an irresistible page-turner.”

--Kevin O’Brien, New York Times bestselling author
