Whatchareadin (174 KP) rated Most Wanted in Books
May 10, 2018
Lisa Scottoline writes a book that is almost impossible to put down. Gripping from start to finish, <u>Most Wanted</u> sends you on a roller coaster ride that you never want to get off of. Zachary Jeffcoat is the name of the sperm donor. Everyone on the east coast knows him right now as the Nurse Killer. He claims he is innocent and Christine wants to believe him for no other reason than she doesn't want to be carrying a baby that could turn out to be a serial killer, can you imagine?
When Christine decides to visit Jeffcoat in prison, her husband thinks she is making a big mistake. But like all mothers, protecting her child is her number one priority and she will not rest until she knows if she is carrying a possible serial killer or not.
Christine A. (965 KP) rated Do You Know Your Mom's Story?: 365 Questions You Need to Ask Her in Books

Do You Know Your Mom's Story?: 365 Questions You Need to Ask Her by Glenna Mageau is not what I expected. I thought it would be just pages and pages of lists of questions. It is much more than that. It encourages you to have a conversation with your mother. It allows you to learn about your mother as a person and not just as a title, "Mom".
While being a mom is a huge part of me, it is not all of me. Why do we assume that is all our mothers are?
The book is broken down into categories based on subjects and different points of their lives. It includes easy to talk about memories and the incredibly difficult ones. Asking these questions honestly helped change my relationship with my mother to morph from mother and daughter to person and person. It allowed us to talk as adults, as equals, and understand each other better. Memories were shared but from two completely different points of view.
I would have liked to have found something similar before my father passed away. It would have been nice to preserve his memories and thoughts of being more than just a dad.

Cut to 17 years later and a young girl called chloe is seen as having the ailments listed as she starts her daily routine.
One day whilst looking for chocolates in the grocery bags, chloe comes across some medication with her mother's name on, but when her mum gives her those pills with her own medication she questions it, to which her mum replies that it was the receipt she saw. Chloe soon realises her mum was lying and had actually been giving chloe medication prescribed to her, she sets out to find out what is going on without her mother knowing. Of course her mother soon finds out and chloe needs to escape her mothers clutches, as a paraplegic this isn't an easy task.
I think it's refreshing to see someone in a wheelchair as a main character in a thriller. She does a very good job as her acting is incredible, and Sarah Paulson plays a fab crazy woman too. The movie is one of those films which is easy to follow, nothing complicated at all. Many thrillers leave you wondering what just happened, but this is as straight forward as they come, and I like that in a movie.
