End of year reads

My second Liane Moriarty book did not disappoint! Huge page turner yet again and this book got me through a long flight in a jiffy! This is the story of Alice who gets a form of amnesia and thinks that she is ten years in the past, still in love with the husband she is now divorcing. This story throws you for several loops and you are not sure exactly which ending to hope for. Read this one! 

I got this book in a discount bin at Chapter's to bring on a flight. It took me more than a few chapters to get into and had I been able to access another book, I would have! This is a spy thriller type story with a man trying to uncover the mysterious death of a former girlfriend. The narrator's quirky personality and narrative did eventually hook me in, but I would pass on this book unless you are stuck on a plane!

Got this one in the same discount bin at Chapters. I don't usually read Sparks' books but thought this one sounded good. This is a story where different characters are woven together through flashbacks and it works quite well. I really enjoyed the cowboy, rodeo and ranching setting as it is not something that I am familiar with. A cute little love story. I am looking forward to the upcoming movie version of the book. 

I picked up this paperback at the airport on the return. I had heard that the movie was really good so I thought this could be a good pre-movie read. The story is fast paced and set on Earth in the bleak future. The Earth is a dusty place where corn is the only viable crop. Scientists are searching for ways to save the human race, and space may be an option. Great adventure story, but with some heavy scientific themes. Can't wait for someone else to read it so that they can explain some of the technical stuff to me! Two thumbs up!
