This Weeks 5 Star Book Recommendation

Searching for a good book to read this weekend?

5gold-star3If you’re ready to curl up with a good book here is another five-star recommendation from me.

Whether it’s a thriller, mystery, love story, historical romance, or YA dystopian series they all must have one thing in common, the theme must grip me. The story must grab me, hold me, enthrall me or cause me to suspend belief for a few hours. The books I give a five-star recommendation do that and more.

Before I Go To Sleep: A Novel [Kindle Edition] by S. J. Watson

This story is disorienting, unique, unusual unnerving and gripping. Be prepared, this is a long book and once you get into it, like me, you may read until the wee hours of the morning.

The story is about a woman who wakes every morning with no memory. She doesn’t recognize the person in the mirror or the man next to her in bed. Working with a doctor, she begins a journal, keeping track of her days, trying to unravel her past and the mystery of who she is. What she discovers is not what anyone expects.

Warning: Be prepared this is one that will keep you awake late into the night as the suspense builds.

5 Star Nail Biter by CJ Lyons

Fight Dirty (Renegade Justice Novels) [Kindle Edition] by CJ Lyons

5 Stars from this reader! 5gold-star3

This book kept me up late into the night and the story gave me chills. A story of friendship, trust, betrayal, and manipulation. A young sociopath must fight her instincts to solve the death of a troubled teen. This is a fast-paced nail biter.

One Lavender Ribbon – 5 Stars

One Lavender Ribbon [Kindle Edition] by Heather Burch

I along with over 4300 other readers, I loved this book.

This was a big surprise to me. I’m not much for walks down memory lane. However, this is a beautiful book.

I finished this book in one day. Of course I accomplished nothing else. This book brought back memories of another time, another conflict, and another young man far from home who wrote beautiful letters. The readers who just didn’t “get” One Lavender Ribbon are quite lucky, because, like the character Will, I doubt they understand war. I hope they never do.

This beautifully written book gets 5 stars from me.5gold-star3

Read for Free, well sort of…

I love to get something free and although Kindle Unlimited is $9.99 monthly the number of books borrowed makes the membership a bargain.

I’ve read a lot of wonderful books by Indie and established writers. Of course, also a few not so wonderful but I’m not going to go there. When I download one not to my taste, I just return the book after a few pages. No harm no foul.

Kindle Unlimited is beneficial to readers and writers. Molly Greene, author and blogger gives a great break down on Kindle Unlimited payouts. Although she contends it’s not a lot of dough, I’m impressed and glad to know I’m contributing to the success of writers when I read for free. You can read her blog post here.

I also wanted to share some great reads I’ve found through Kindle Unlimited.

And I rated with 5 stars5gold-star3
