This time I won't pressure my self so much, like I did last month. For this month I chose to read only 4, where 3 of them are for my yearly reading challenge. And after that, if there still will be time I'll choose what to read next.
The first book I decided to read just for fun and because it was on my shelf over a year now.
Title: The Sound
Author: Sarah Alderson
Pages: 310
Cover: Paperback
Published: 2013 by Simon and Schuster UK
Edition language: english
When aspiring music journalist Ren Kingston takes a job nannying for a wealthy family on the exclusive island of Nabtucket, playground for Boston's elite, she's hoping for a low - key summer reading books and blogging about bands. Boys are firmly off the agenda.
What she doesn't count on is falling in with a bunch of party-loving private school kids who are hiding some dark secrets; falling (possibly) in love with the local bad boy; and falling out with a dangerous serial killer...
When I finish this one, I'm planning to continue reading/listening book for my "a book based on or turned in to a tv show" challenge. I started this book early this year and still have half of it to finish. Of course I read other books at the same time, so that's why it takes me so much time to finish it, but I really enjoy it.
Title: A Dance with Dragons
Author: George R. R. Martin
Pages: 1125
Cover: ebook
Published: 2011 by Bantam
Edition language: english
In the aftermath of a colossal battle, the future of the Seven Kingdom hangs in the balance - beset by newly emerging threats from every direction. In the east , Daenerys Targaryen, the last scion of House Targaryen, rules with her three dragons as queen of a city built on dust and death. But Daenerys has thousands of enemies, and many have set out to find her. As they gather, one young man embarks upon his own quest for the queen, with an entirely different goal in mind.
Fleeing from Westeros with a price on his head, tyrion Lannister, too, is making his way to Daenerys. But his newest allies in this quest are not the rag-tag band they seem, and at their heart lies one who could undo Daenery's claim to Westeros forever.
Meanwhile, to the north lies the mammoth Wall of ice and stone - a structure only as strong as those guarding it. There, Jon Snow, 998th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, will face his greatest challenge. For he has powerful foes not only within Watch but also beyond, in the land of the creatures of ice...
I'm not planning to read all of this book this month, but at least a big chunk of it. At the same time I will be reading book for "a book for your favorite author that you haven't read yet" challenge.
Title: Just Take My Heart
Author: Mary Higgins Clark
Pages: 336
Cover: ebook
Published: 2009 by Simon and Schuster
Edition language: english
After famous actress Natalie Raines is found in her home, dying from a gunshot wound, police immediately suspect her theatrical agent and jealous soon - to - be - ex - husband, Gregg Aldrich. But no charges are brought against him until two years later, when a career criminal suddenly claims Aldrich had tried to hire him to kill her.
The case is a plum assignment for attractive thirty - two- year - old assistant prosecutor Emily Wallace. She spends long hours preparing for the trial, and unaware of seemingly well-meaning neighbor's violent past, gives him a key to her home to care for her dog.
The high-profile trial makes headlines, threatening to reveal personal matters about Emily, such as the fact that she had a heart transplant - especially when she experiences eerie sentiments that defy all reasons and continue even after the jury decides Gregg Aldrich's fate.
But little does she know now her own life is at risk...
Because I like Mary's writing style and usually fly through her books quite quickly, I hope to finish this one soon enough too. And then I will try to complete "a book more than 100 years old" challenge.
