As my part of my Learn goals for 2016, I’m reading a variety of styles and genres of books in the attempt to discover new ideas and expand my horizons. My goal is to read at least 25 this year, of which I’m keeping track on Goodreads. Are you over there? Let’s connect!
The Travelers by Chris Pavone
I should probably preface this by saying that this while I do enjoy the occasional spy movie, reading them is not my typical go-to at all! But in the spirit of trying new things, I requested this spy thriller on a whim and I’m glad I did. It’s hard to describe the plot without giving things away, but I found it really fast-paced and blew through it in days. Although parts of the book were a bit confusing, it kept my attention the whole way through. Probably not the book for those who are a stickler for 100% accuracy, but definitely enjoyable if you’re in the mood for a suspenseful ride. I think my husband would like it too.
(I received this book from Blogging for Books, but all opinions are mine.)
Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend by Matthew Dicks
I read this one as part of our book club’s June picks and it was SO good! The story is equal parts about Max, an elementary school student with autism and his imaginary friend, Budo. So uniquely told. So good.
