The past few weeks I have been able to read The Expats, Girls In White Dresses and The Paris Wife.
The Expats - This book I could not put down! If you are at all interested in thrillers this is a book for you. It is about an ex-CIA agent who moves to Europe when her husband gets a new job. Soon though she suspects they are being followed at every turn.
I honestly read this book in a week. One of those you read while blow drying your hair, while eating breakfast, you get the gist!
Girls In White Dresses - I picked up this book because I had seen it all over Pinterest and in articles titled "Books 20-somethings Should Read". I have to admit it was a little slow for me. I even read The Expats in the middle of this because I was struggling through. The writing style bounces from each girls story and back and forth and I couldn't get as into it.
I did finish reading it because I was absolutely hoping it would get better. I would probably skip this read.
The Paris Wife - Oh Paris. Having just visited Paris in September I was eager to imagine the streets again. This book is set in the 1920's in the viewpoint of Hadley, the wife of Ernest Hemmingway, about their meeting and their life together. It is so interesting to envision what the famous writer in this way. I would highly recommend this one!
Books in my queue next include:
Dark Places - Gillian Flynn
Sharp Objects - Gillian Flynn (see a pattern here? I loved Gone Girl so much I can't wait for these!)
How To Win Friends & Influence People - Dale Carnegie
The Monuments Men - Robert Edsel
I also want to tackle this list of Books to Read Before They Hit Theaters. I have read a lot of them but the ones listed above stand out in particular!
What's on your list?
Jenny, all three of Gillian Flynn's book were amazing! If you liked Gone Girl, you'll love the other two :)
