What I’m Reading Now
Summer, the best time to read a good book, and it is finally here. Every year there are some books that take the season by storm and this year is no different.
I am going to tell you about some of the books you will want to take with you on vacation this year, starting out with a good thriller.
Summer
Fiction
The Silent Patient
If you are looking for a surprise ending this is the story for you.
“An unforgettable—and Hollywood-bound—new thriller… A mix of Hitchcockian suspense, Agatha Christie plotting, and Greek tragedy.”
—Entertainment Weekly
The Tattooist of Auschiwitz
Heather Morris
You know how some books just leave you thinking about the characters after you put it down?
Well that is how this book is. The story is haunting and makes you wonder if we could make the same mistakes again.

Jemar Tisby
The Color Of Compromise
I ordered this book in January before all the unrest started in America.
It is a good read about the churches complicity in racism and how we need to make a change.
No Stone Unturned
Julie Moffett
I have read ALL of these books. This is the 8th in a series. The main character Lexi Carmichael is a geek extraordinaire. She is funny and unknowingly beautiful. Somehow she is caught up in spy plots and other clandestine operations. Easy read for the summer.
