Some books I hope to read this month
Summary of what the book is about: Former CIA agent Jack Morgan runs Private, a
renowned investigation company with branches around the globe, for
maximum force and maximum discretion. Already deep into the
investigation of a multimillion-dollar NFL gambling scandal and the
unsolved slayings of eighteen schoolgirls, he learns his best friend's
wife, Jack's former lover, has been killed.
The secrets of the
most influential men and women on the planet come to Jack daily—and his
staff of investigators use the world's most advanced forensic tools to
make and break their cases. But Jack doesn't have to play by the rules.
Why is on my list: I enjoy a good thriller and action book and I enjoy reading James Patterson book as they are always quick and easy but have lots of twists and turns.
Summary of what the book is about:
Sophie Apperly's family has never taken her
seriously. Fiercely academic, they see her more practical skills as
frivolous whilst constantly taking advantage of her. So when her best
friend Milly invites her over to New York, she jumps at the chance.
It'll do her ungrateful family good to do without her for a while. What s
more, she's on a quest America holds the key to solving her family's
financial woes, even if they don't deserve her help.
From the
moment Sophie hits the bright lights of Manhattan she's determined to
enjoy every minute of her big adventure. So when an evening at an art
gallery throws her into the path of Matilda, a spirited old lady who
invites her to Connecticut for Thanksgiving, Sophie willingly accepts,
much to the dismay of Matilda's grandson Luke. Undeniably attractive but
infuriatingly arrogant, he is very protective of his grandmother and
seems to doubt Sophie's motives for befriending her. No match for the
formidable Matilda, he eventually admits defeat, but first he has a
proposal to make. He'll help Sophie in her quest to save her family from
financial ruin if she repays the favour. But just what does she have to
do in return...?
Why is this on my list:
I read books by this author before so I thought this sound good, A nice chick lit book
Summary:
Georgie Hart loves her job – running the luxury
handbag concession at Carrington's Department store in the pretty
seaside town of Mulberry-On-Sea, and treating herself (once too often!)
to a red velvet cupcake with buttercream icing in Carrington's café.

Georgie is thrown into disarray when Carrington's is plunged into a
recession-busting makeover, cueing the arrival of femme fatale Maxine,
who wields the axe in her immaculately-manicured hands.
It spells
a recipe for disaster for Georgie and soon she is fighting not only for
her job, but also for the attentions of her gorgeous boss, James. And
when hot newcomer Tom arrives, who may or may not be the best thing
since sliced bread, Georgie must decide where her loyalties really lie…
Why is this on my list:
I never read this author before but I found this book at the thrift store and I thought it sounded good and then I found the other two books in this series, so if I enjoy this book, I have the other to read too.
Summary:
When Dixie meets Laura Halston, a newcomer to
Siesta Key, she recognizes a kindred spirit and believes she's found a
new friend. Disarmingly beautiful, Laura confesses that she's in hiding
from an abusive husband. Later, when Laura receives threatening phone
calls, Dixie is certain the husband is the culprit.
But the more
Dixie learns about Laura, the less certain she is about anything...and
then matters turn deadly. As she tries to understand Laura's past, Dixie
is forced to acknowledge things about herself that she has never faced
before.
Why is it on my list:
It is a cozy mystery and it has a cat. It looks like it might be a good book I haven't read this author yet.
