Oh, my illness continues! Man, this is the longest I have been sick in a long time. But I was still able to get a lot of reading in, which I am thankful for because I got through three ARCs and this brought my NetGalley rating up to over 80%!
Read This Week:
The book I loved the most this week was The Last Painting Of Sara De Vos, by Dominic Smith. This is an epic story of Art in the Dutch Golden Age, and a painting that spans the centuries. The story takes place in the 1600's, the 1950's and the year 2000. It will come out in April, and I highly recommend it.
Borrowed From a Friend:
I am probably the LAST person on earth to get this book! But I will try to read it soon.
Free E-books!
I follow a wonderful blog by Derek Murphy called Urban Epics You can access it here. He is also a writer and had two of his books free on Amazon a few days ago. Score! They both look like fun.
What books did you get this week? Let me know what you're excited to read in the comments.
I got The Girl on the Train a month or so ago but I haven't read it yet. The mixed reviews have me a bit undecided about it. I guess we'll both get to it at some point! Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm glad my friend loaned me the book. I have also heard mixed reviews. But I think I should read it, just to see what the fuss is about.
DeleteI haven't read The Girl on the Train yet but I got the e-book months ago, so I have no excuse! The Scarlet Thread looks interesting! Happy reading and I hope you'll feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lynn. I am very happy with my book finds this week. I have been following Derek Murphy on Twitter, and on his blog, for a while now. So I am glad to finally get a chance to sample his writing.
DeleteIt's okay, I haven't gotten The Girl on the Train! You're not the last ;) I also picked up The Scarlet Thread on Kindle! Hope you enjoy these :)

I think everyone at work has read The Girl On The Train but me! I am so grateful that everyone I work with are readers like me. We like to trade books and discuss them; it is so fun!
DeleteD.S. Murphy's books look cool! And yay getting them for free. Hope you enjoy.
ReplyDeleteDerek has written a lot of books, but this will be the first ones i have read. He also has a cool website called http://www.creativindie.com
DeleteI've bought The Girl On The Train (along with Gone Girl) but have yet to read them. I've heard great things though! Post a review when you're finshed, I'd love to know what you thought of it.
ReplyDeleteGreat books. I just recently got my NetGalley percentage to over 80%! I want to request a book but kind of want to keep it at that rating for a bit. I wasn't a fan of A Girl on the Train as I had read Gone Girl beforehand and felt similar vibes. However, it is a quick read. Happy reading!
