October Reads!!!
Even though the picture only shows 7 books, I was able to finish 8 in October. One was an audio book, Most Wanted by Lisa Scottoline. Most of the month, I spent binge reading the Helen Grace series by MJ Arlidge in hopes to get caught up. Unfortunately I did not meet my goal.
I was able to finish 1 audio book, some contemporary fiction, and an erotic novel. I rekindled with an author from my past, and found a new favorite. You know, those author's whose books you read no matter what. So, I hope you all will check out each review and let me know what you read and are reading.

A Book from an Old FavoriteI read a lot of books by Zane while I was in college and in my 20's recently I've started reading her books again. I've been on waiting on hold at the library for her newest book

A Book from a New Favorite
Over the past couple of years I have read quite a few of Lisa Scottoline's books. They always grab my attention right away.
Most Wanted by Lisa Scottoline
Christine Nelson has wanted nothing more than to be a mother. When she and her husband, Marcus have trouble conceiving, they use a sperm donor in order to have their child. Soon after Christine finds out she's pregnant, a news story comes on about a serial killer who is killing nurses. The killer looks a lot like their sperm donor and Christine will not rest until she finds out the truth. Traveling from Connecticut to Pennsylvania, she uses all her available resources to find out who the father of her child is no matter what her husband thinks.
A Book Everyone is Talking About
Young Jane Young by Gabrielle Zevin
Aviva Grossman has made a mistake, but so has Aaron Levin. One of them will continue to lead a normal life and one of them will go into hiding and move hundreds of miles away from their home until the secret comes out in the open. Similar to the story between Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, Aviva Grossman has had an affair with a Congressman she was working for in South Florida. When the scandal breaks, Aviva can no longer get a job or leave her house without being recognized. So she changes her name to Jane Young, leaves the state, and cuts ties with her old life. But now she wants to run for Mayor of her small town and her secret will no longer be safe.
A New Series
The Helen Grace Series by M.J. Arlidge is up there, for me, with the Women's Murder Club by James Patterson. Women getting the job done, and I love them both.
Pop Goes the Weasel by M.J. Arlidge
DI Helen Grace has another case that is proving to be very difficult to solve. Men in Southampton are being murdered and having their hearts cut out. Who would do something so gruesome? A prostitute who wants payback. Getting to the bottom of this mystery will not be easy, especially with all the obstacles, twists and turns that get in the way. But DI Grace and her team are determined to bring the killer to justice.
Ruby Sprackling has gone missing. Had this been a few months ago, her family probably wouldn't have thought twice about it. But, they had recently reconciled and Ruby was supposed to move back home. At the same time, DI Helen Grace and her team are investigating the death of a body found on the beach. Are these two incidents connected? When more bodies turn up on the beach, all of which look very similar to Ruby Sprackling, the search intensifies. Will they be able to find Ruby before it's too late?
