Share Your Shelf

Happy Thursday, friends! I have a lot going on here today, so I'll jump right in. 


I only read two books in October, which is better than the zero that I read in September! . 



Click on the image to be re-directed to Amazon. I can't remember who recommended this book to me, but thank you! It takes place in the Titanic days, and it tells the scandalous story of young Madeline attracting the attention of much older "Jack Astor". I'll let you read the description yourself, but this book is told from her viewpoint as she writes it to her young son. 


Secondly, I read this one for book club.



This was a classic tale of "whodunnit", and I was introduced to Mrs. Marple in this book. There's murder, mystique, scandalous behavior, gossip, and betrayal all within this little book, and it was pretty good, though not my favorite. It should lead to some good discussion next week when we meet, though! 


And that's all I've got for the books I read this month! You should see the movies I've watched, though.🤣

 

What did you read that you loved this month? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for linking up with us today, and for reading my blog, friends. Love to all!

  1. Impressive with your busy life right now! I read two books but neither blew me away- The Secret Life Of An Uncool Mom by Serena Terry and Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty (Book Club)

    1. I just can't concentrate on a book for too long right now! I am ready to be over that, so I keep trying. I started a new Christmas book last night that I'm excited about. It's a bummer when the books aren't great!

  2. I've read quite a few books recently. Bluebird (Sharon Cameron) was really good. Sundays at Tiffany's (James Patterson) really good. Fiona Ferris' latest book Financially Chic, Vol. 2 was excellent, as always. Still working on Peace and Plenty by Sarah Ban Breathnach. I read a few chapters a day.

  3. Oh that Astor book sounds fabulous! Have you read anything by Stacy Lee? I've read 2 historical fiction books of hers; The Downstairs Girl and Luck of the Titanic. Both were really good.
