Perfect mood lifting holiday read
I had this on my e-reader for holiday reading and it was perfect. Laugh out loud funny. Easy to read. Believable characters and plot. You can see the ending coming, but it did not disappoint. Recommend it as a good summer read.

Movie Favorite

"Okay. You know — it is a recent acquisition for me — but I’m way into the Wes Anderson stuff. Anytime The Royal Tenenbaums is on, I am camped out. People are like, “Is that your favorite?” I think it might be. Also, I do concede, that might have been the first Wes Anderson movie I saw. I love everything about all of his movies. They are so good. They are so stylized. They’re beautiful to look at. I’m always a fan of whichever new one is coming out."

This book captivated me from beginning to end. I knew something was wrong from the start because everything about the job seemed to good to be true. I didn't think it would turn out to be complex as it was but that made me want to read it more. I felt bad for Alice because she didn't do anything wrong and the people that set her up came after for something they thought her father did and it later turned out he did nothing. And the truth about the lawyer, didn't see that coming at all. I'll definitely have to check out more books by this author!

Set in 1992 in Boston, this coming-of-age story attempts to tackle the issues of class and race as from the viewpoint of David Greenfeld, one of the few white kids entering King Middle School. There David meets Marlon, a quite boy living in public housing down the block from David’s house, and somehow, they become unlikely friends. Together they’re hoping to get out of King and into the prestigious Latin school, which could pave their way to getting into college, maybe even Harvard. You can read more about this coming-of-age story in my review here.

The Women's Murder Club really has their hands full this time. Burger bombs, hijacked ships, and an old "friend" back for a visit, these ladies have their work cut out for them this time.

One thing I really like about James Patterson books is how quickly I can get through one. With the short chapters and the excitement around every corner, there is never a dull moment.

My thoughts...look out for 14 in the coming year or so....there is some unfinished business that needs to be attended to.
