It’s Monday, What Are You Reading? Is hosted by The Book Date. It is a place to share all your reading updates.

Update: My most interesting update is I found out I’m going to Germany for work for two months from April to June. I’ll still be blogging from there in my off time and hopefully I’ll have time to travel on some weekends, and you’ll get some interesting photos/posts from me!

I have gone absolutely crazy with book requesting lately. There have just been so many good books offered and they are hard to refuse!

READING RIGHT NOW

The Foxhole Victory Tour by Amy Lynn Green

WHAT I”M READING NEXT

NEW BOOK HAUL

I got offered a widget for Nora Roberts’ latest, Mind Games, and had to take it! The way she produces so many great books with such short turnaround is amazing! A Short Walk Through A Wide World is is a Fantasy/Adventure set in 1885 Paris. Nine Lives and Counting is the memoir of Duane Chapman, also known as Dog the Bounty Hunter, who writes about losing his wife to cancer. When Grumpy met Sunshine is a “fake dating” romance, and I’ll be listening to the audiobook. I already had The Fortune Seller and The Disappearance of Astrid Bricard, but I got the audiobooks of them as well this past week.

I have way too many books! I’m going to try not to request or accept anything else this week!

How about you? What are you reading?

The Milk Wagon

I was hooked when I read this book by Michael Hewes and I find it to be an unsung gem! One of my goals with this blog is to help newer or lesser known authors (and self published authors) promote their work to others who might not otherwise see it. This fantastic book swept me right back into the 1980’s, when I was a teenager, and it was a great ride. See my review below:

________________________________________________________________________

The Milk Wagon is a fantastic thriller set in the 80’s, much of it revolving around a group of high school boys. As an 80’s high schooler myself, this was a wonderful walk down memory lane. This book has the 80’s high school mentality exactly right, and transported me back there as the movies we watched, the cars we drove, and the way we thought were so accurately described. 

This novel was perfectly woven together as both an 80’s book and a crime/murder thriller. There were many twists and turns, and although I am usually pretty good at guessing the “bad guy,” i was totally wrong this time. The fact that this book was not predictable impressed me. 

The characters are so well done, especially the 80s high school kids, that I was sad when it ended. That’s how you tell a great book. You don’t want it to end.

If you love crime thrillers, if you loved the 80s, or if you just love a well written book, check this one out.

I received a free copy of this book from Michael Hewes and BooksGoSocial via Netgalley. My review is voluntary.
