I have sooooo many books!
The This or That Giveaway! feature that I post every Saturday is a way for me to cull my collection and to share some of the many books I have. I get to clear off some of my shelves to make room for more books and give someone else the chance to enjoy these treasures.
Good luck and be sure to stop back next week!

Hidden
by Catherine McKenzie
Hardcover ~ Published April 2014
While walking home from work one evening, Jeff Manning is struck by a car and killed. Two women fall to pieces at the news: his wife, Claire, and his co-worker Tish. Reeling from her loss, Claire must comfort her grieving son as well as contend with funeral arrangements, well-meaning family members, and the arrival of Jeff’s estranged brother, who was her ex-boyfriend.
Tish volunteers to attend the funeral on her company’s behalf, but only she knows the true risk of inserting herself into the wreckage of Jeff’s life. Told through the three voices of Jeff, Tish, and Claire, Hidden explores the complexity of relationships, the repercussions of our personal choices, and the responsibilities we have to the ones we love.

Hidden Bodies
by Caroline Kepnes
Hardcover ~ Published February 2016
In the compulsively readable sequel to her widely acclaimed debut novel, You, Caroline Kepnes weaves a tale that Booklist calls “the love child of Holden Caulfield and Patrick Bateman.”
Joe Goldberg is no stranger to hiding bodies. In the past ten years, this thirty-something has buried four of them, collateral damage in his quest for love. Now he’s heading west to Los Angeles, the city of second chances, determined to put his past behind him.
In Hollywood, Joe blends in effortlessly with the other young upstarts. He eats guac, works in a bookstore, and flirts with a journalist neighbor. But while others seem fixated on their own reflections, Joe can’t stop looking over his shoulder. The problem with hidden bodies is that they don’t always stay that way. They re-emerge, like dark thoughts, multiplying and threatening to destroy what Joe wants most: true love. And when he finds it in a darkened room in Soho House, he’s more desperate than ever to keep his secrets buried. He doesn’t want to hurt his new girlfriend—he wants to be with her forever. But if she ever finds out what he’s done, he may not have a choice.
I've been watching this series on Netflix. Wow!

Sunny/warm during the day. Cold at night.
ReplyDeleteWe just got a major storm last week that dumped a lot of ice and snow on the state. Both interstates were closed for several days and no travel advised most of the week! This week we are supposed to get frigid cold, with unbelievably low wind chill temps. Brrrrr.
ReplyDelete12 degrees and cold in Chicago
ReplyDeleteSnow hasn't stopped
ReplyDeleteHere on the shore of eastern MD, the past week has been very cold temps for here. And some rain. But no snow. And the past couple of days have been sunny, with rising temps. Today was in the mid and upper 30s.
ReplyDeleteFinally raining here! Great way to start the New Year!
