Today I’m participating in WWW Wednesdays, at Taking on a World of Words. Here’s how it works:
The Three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next, and/or what are you eagerly awaiting?
***
CURRENTLY READING: Never Tell, by Lisa Gardner, an unpredictable thriller that puts fan favorites D.D. Warren and Flora Dane on a shocking new case that begins with a vicious murder and gets darker from there.
***
BOOKS READ SINCE LAST WEEK: (Titles/Covers Linked to My Reviews)
The Editor, by Steven Rowley
The Perfect Girlfriend, by Karen Hamilton
***
EAGERLY ANTICIPATING:
Lisa Jewell’s The Family Upstairs, is coming on October 29, 2019, and is a “bone-chilling suspense” (People) …another page-turning look inside one family’s past as buried secrets threaten to come to light.
Synopsis: Gifted musician Clemency Thompson is playing for tourists on the streets of southern France when she receives an urgent text message. Her childhood friend, Lucy, is demanding her immediate return to London.
It’s happening, says the message. The baby is back.
Libby Jones was only six months old when she became an orphan. Now twenty-five, she’s astounded to learn of an inheritance that will change her life. A gorgeous, dilapidated townhouse in one of London’s poshest neighborhoods has been held in a trust for her all these years. Now it’s hers.
As Libby investigates the story of her birth parents and the dark legacy of her new home, Clemency and Lucy are headed her way to uncover, and possibly protect, secrets of their own. What really happened in that rambling Chelsea mansion when they were children? And are they still at risk?

My week was full of ups and downs, but the books, while not plentiful, were engaging. What did your week look like?

Enjoyed your review of The Editor. Is any of it based on fact or is it just pure imagining on the part of the author?

Thanks, Cathy, and I think that it is a little of both. Jackie O did work at the publishing company…but I think the author in the story is fictional.

I’ve been wondering, are the D.D. Warren books able to be read as standalone’s? I tried reading the first book but I was getting into it, so I was wondering if I could just skip around and read the ones that seemed more interesting.
I’m also excited for Lisa Jewell’s new book! I liked Watching You and I’m currently reading I Found You by her and so far, I’m really enjoying it! She’s quickly climbing up my favorite author list.
