I think I'm still sort of in a bit of a slump, but I did finish a book much earlier than last month. Also...I've set myself a new personal goal to see if I can get to 50 books. If I make it to that 50 and still have enough time in the year I might bump it again to 75. I only set it for 25 this time because I'm used to not reading very fast at all!
Let's get on with the wrap-up then! This month I've read 2 books.
Book #1: Romance by the Book by Jo Victor
For
a smart woman, Alex is pretty clueless. She wants the truth, but
she’s looking in the wrong place. She wants love, but she’s not
looking at all. If only Cam didn’t keep disrupting her life, Alex
might be able to find some answers. After all, it’s not as if Cam
is interested in her. Which is probably a good thing, since Cam is
even more infuriating than she is charming—and she’s got plenty
of charm. On the other hand, Rosamund, Cam’s ex and Alex’s
professional rival, is definitely interested in Alex, but can she be
trusted? Alex doesn’t even realize the historic house she’s
staying in is haunted. Perhaps a little supernatural help will lead
Alex to uncover the secret of a love story hidden for over a century,
and to solve the greatest mystery of all—the truth hidden in her
own heart.
I received this book from NetGalley in return for an honest review. I loved it and gave it 4/5 stars because for a bit during the middle-end (about 60-70% of the way through) I kind of hit a dry patch. For the rest of my review, see the actual review I posted!
Book #2: Atlantis by David Gibbins
I was given this book by a friend after I finished Will Adams' The Alexander Cipher. She said she thought I would like it because it ran on a similar sort of track to the previously mentioned book. She....was right. I enjoyed it very much, including the twists I didn't see coming. There are some things that you would expect to happen that don't, and then some things that you wouldn't expect to happen that do. I loved this book and am glad I managed to finish it.
Book #2: Atlantis by David Gibbins
From
an extraordinary discovery in a remote desert oasis to a desperate
race against time in the ocean depths, a team of adventurers is about
to find the truth behind the most baffling legend in history. The
hunt is on for...ATLANTIS.
Marine
archaeologist Jack Howard has stumbled upon the keys to an ancient
puzzle. With a crack team of scientific experts and ex–Special
Forces commandos, he is heading for what he believes could be the
greatest archaeological find of all time——the site of fabled
Atlantis——while a ruthless adversary watches his every move and
prepares to strike, but neither of them could have imagined what
awaits them in the murky depths. Not only a shocking truth about a
lost world, but an explosive secret that could have devastating
consequences today. Jack is determined to stop the legacy of Atlantis
from falling into the wrong hands, whatever the cost. But first he
must do battle to prevent a global catastrophe.
