The Girl In The Spider's Web by David Lagercrantz
The first in my 'to-read' pile, and I'm a few chapters in already. My grandma turned me on to the "Millennium" series by Stieg Larsson; lending me the copies when I was at university. I read the books in about a week, no mean feat given the size of each book! Then I passed them on to one of my housemates, who also loved them. As soon as I heard about a new book continuing the series, I pre-ordered a copy. And now that I've got it, I expect I'll speed through it just like I did the first three!
The Pocket Wife by Susan Crawford
One of two books I picked up when I was, ostensibly, grocery shopping in Sainsburys. I can't help it; I'm always on the look-out for books! Especially when those books are half the price you'd pay in stores. This looks like, from a quick read of the blurb, a "Gone Girl" type of thriller/mystery. A book that's right up my alley, then!
The Good Girl by Fiona Neill
This book has been on my wish-list for, well, months! And I've nearly bought it a few times; in supermarkets and on Amazon. But each time, I've held off in favour of something else. Well, I finally succumbed to temptation and picked it up on a "Buy one, get one half-price" offer. Another "Gone Girl" type thriller/mystery. I might have a type....
I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh
Oh, look, another mystery/thriller, along the same lines of "Gone Girl" and "Girl On The Train." Guess I really do have a type. Funny, that! I've actually had this on my wish-list for a while, too, and finally picked up a copy in Sainsburys, at the same time as "The Pocket Wife."
Red Rain by R. L. Stine
To break up the, possible, monotony of the last three, I've picked a horror for my fifth read. I've not read any Stine since I was a child, when I discovered his "Goosebumps" series, so I'm looking forward to sampling some of his work now I'm a little older!
One Step Too Far by Tina Seskis and A Daughter's Secret by Eleanor Moran
My friend, Katy, sent me these two in a book swap earlier this week. I'm being a tad optimistic in adding these two to my 'to-read' pile. I usually manage five books a month, at best. With the addition of these, I'm trying for seven. But what's life without a little challenge?!
So that's what I'm reading this month, what about you?
At the end of September, I'll be posting "The books I read in September;" where I'll update you on whether I managed to read all seven, and give you a short review of each!
Till Sunday, beauties <3
