it's monday! what are you reading? (9-5-16)

Today, I'm joining in on a new-to-me meme: "It's Monday! What are you reading?" This is hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date, and it looks like a lot of fun. My goal is to post each week, but, well, you know how that goes!

What I read last week:

Without Warning by Lynette Eason. I really enjoyed this romantic suspense novel, although the romance didn't particularly resonate with me. Still, the mystery/suspense was fabulous! (4 stars)

Starving Hearts by Janine Mendenhall. This novel is also romantic suspense—of the historical variety. This reading experience was a bit strange for me in that I was very interested in the villain but didn't really care for the hero or heroine. Side note: The male cover model looks very familiar, and I can't figure out why. Does he look like someone famous? (2-1/2 stars)

The Thirteenth Chance by Amy Matayo. I've been a fan of Matayo's ever since I read The Wedding Game a few years ago. (It's currently free on Kindle, so get it!) I'm so excited to be on her influencer team for The Thirteenth Chance, which releases later this month. I stayed up way too late two nights in a row to finish this—it's one of my favorite reads in a long time, and it's looking good for a "best of" list at the end of the year! (review and rating to come)

What I'm reading now:

God Bless Us Every One by Eva Marie Everson. This is a cute Christmas novella that I'm reading for a Litfuse tour later this month. I picked it up right after my two-in-a-row suspense reads, and it was nice to have a change of pace! (review and rating to come)

 A Tapestry of Secrets by Sarah Loudin Thomas. I've just started this novel, and it looks to be just as good as the two previous ones in the series! (Miracle in a Dry Season: 5 stars. Until the Harvest: 5 stars.)

Cold Case Witness by Sarah Varland. I'm almost finished with this novel about a woman who returns to her hometown 10 years after being a key witness in a court case that rocked the community. I'm really enjoying it!

What I'm listening to on audiobook:

Made Well by Jenny Simmons. I'm on the launch team for this book, written by Addison Road's Jenny Simmons ("Hope Now," "What Do I Know of Holy"). I have an e-copy, too, but when Jenny offered an audio version, I jumped at it. I've recently begun to enjoy audiobooks, and I've been listening to this while I clean. So far, so good!

What I'll read next:

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. This is my pick for Modern Mrs. Darcy's "banned books" category for the 2016 reading challenge. And since I failed so miserably last month, I'm determined to succeed this time!
