Books:
Recent ones I have finished since finals:
- Defending Jacob by William Landy - A district attorney finds his son Jacob accused for the murder of his school friend Brian. The ending - did not see that one coming! mind-blown. Think the story got me for a few days.
- Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn - A man was suspected when his clever & rich wife Amy disappeared. This story has great twists and just when you thought you have it right...think again.
- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak - Another fave genre; historical fiction yey! set in Germany during the holocaust, a little girl finds solace in reading (/stealing) books. What makes this book a 5 star? (very well written! usually when you find a book so gripping you wont let earthquake stop you from reading, right? this is the book! Only, the way it was told, narrated by Death made me read this in slow motion because I couldnt imagine my life after the book ended.) Simply beautiful.
- The Odd series by Dean Koontz - About Odd Thomas who can see the dead. Yep, you know the drill - see the dead, solve crimes etc etc. What makes this novel different from any other thriller though is that it was written by Dean Koontz, who never ceased to leave me gobsmacked.
- The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman - A couple lives in an island as the husband is the keeper of the light house. What happens when a simple rule is broken? Butterfly effect.
- The Fault in Our Stars by John Green - This one already has a post dedicated to it. Referred my previous post.
- The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by Robin Sharma - A hot shot lawyer seeks peace with his inner self after an episode of heart attack. Great for motivation.
& rereading the old ones:
- The Mulberry Tree by Jude Deveraux - God knows how many times I've read this book.
- Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
- Divergent by Veronica Roth
Pending: Haruki Murakami :)
