The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak
It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still.
Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living outside of Munich, who scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement.
In superbly crafted writing that burns with intensity, award-winning author Markus Zusak, author of I Am the Messenger, has given us one of the most enduring stories of our time.

As Esther begins to earn her mentor's respect, blurring the line between subordinate and superior, she and Murdoch find themselves questioning what matters most: their careers . . . or the feelings they’re hiding from each other. As tragedy unfolds around them, will they overcome the sinking together and live to see daylight?

Hoda: How I Survived War Zones, Bad Hair, Cancer, and Kathie Lee, by Hoda Kotb
Hoda Kotb grew up in two cultures—one where summers meant playing at the foot of the ancient
pyramids and another where she had to meet her junior prom date at the local 7-Eleven to spare them both the wrath of her conservative Egyptian parents. She’s traveled the globe for network television, smuggling videotapes in her shoes and stepping along roads riddled with land mines.
She’s weathered the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, and a personal Category 5 as well: divorce and breast cancer in the same year. And if that’s not scary enough, she then began co-hosting the fourth hour of Today with Kathie Lee Gifford. (Oh, c’mon, KLG! That’s funny . . . put down the huge pour of Chardonnay and laugh with us.)

Determined to find a new sense of self, Rin accompanies Razo into the city, where she discovers that a mysterious threat haunts Bayern. She joins with three magical girls—Isi, Enna, and Dasha—as they venture toward the kingdom of Kel . . . where someone wants them dead

Roaring Deals: Week of August 13, 2018
A few days ago, I found some awesome deals on books by authors I LOVE. I added them to last week's post, but worried that many readers would miss them.
Fortunately for everyone, they're still on sale! Emily Bleeker and Kate Moretti are some of the best Women's Fiction writers publishing today. Trust me when I say you'll want their books!~~~~~
Wreckage and Working Fire by Emily BleekerHer next book comes out later this month, so read one these now to see if (rather, THAT) you'd like to read her new one!
Snag her upcoming release, The Waiting Room, here. (I've already ordered my copy. It releases on August 28th.)
Wreckage is one of those rare novels where I could not fathom how the author would end the story in a way that I'd be happy with, yet she managed to do just that. It's also the even rarer book that I couldn't put down. As a career author and editor, I regularly read books in tiny snippets of time and easily put books down. Not this one!

Remember the memoir Wild and the movie of the same name starring Reese Witherspoon? (Remember Loralai attempting the same hike along the Pacific Crest Trail?)
This book is by the same author, and it's her first published novel:
"Work hard. Do good. Be incredible!" is the advice Teresa Rae Wood shares with the listeners of her local radio show, Modern Pioneers, and the advice she strives to live by every day. She has fled a bad marriage and rebuilt a life with her two children and their caring stepfather, Bruce. But when they received unexpected news that Teresa, only 38, is dying of cancer, their lives all begin to unravel and drift apart. Strayed's intimate portraits in a time of crisis show the varying truths of grief, forgiveness, and the beautiful terrors of learning how to keep living.

The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien
If you've ever felt intimidated at the thought of reading Tolkien, then The Hobbit is for you. It's his shortest and simplest story, and it has far fewer mythological tangents and other things that make the The Lord of the Rings trilogy a bit denser. This book is essentially a prequel to the trilogy.
Note: If you've fallen in love with the three-film adaptation, know that most of it was made up whole cloth by Peter Jackson. The first film of the three is the closest to the source material. It covers about 75% of the novel. Seriously.
This classic is on sale for $2.99.
~~~~1984, by George Orwell
Another sale on huge classic. This book is one of the first ever in the dystopian genre. In many respects, it defined the genre.
If you haven't read this one, you really need to, if nothing else than for the sake of cultural literacy. (For example: many things come from this book that you might not even be aware of, including the concept of the government as "Big Brother.")
It's so well done, and it's both a fascinating and disturbing read. (It also has one of the best first lines ever.)

Fortunately for everyone, they're still on sale! Emily Bleeker and Kate Moretti are some of the best Women's Fiction writers publishing today. Trust me when I say you'll want their books!~~~~~
Wreckage and Working Fire by Emily BleekerHer next book comes out later this month, so read one these now to see if (rather, THAT) you'd like to read her new one!
Snag her upcoming release, The Waiting Room, here. (I've already ordered my copy. It releases on August 28th.)
Wreckage is one of those rare novels where I could not fathom how the author would end the story in a way that I'd be happy with, yet she managed to do just that. It's also the even rarer book that I couldn't put down. As a career author and editor, I regularly read books in tiny snippets of time and easily put books down. Not this one!
About Wreckage: Lillian Linden is a liar. On the surface, she looks like a brave survivor of a plane crash. But she’s been lying to her family, her friends, and the whole world since rescue helicopters scooped her and her fellow survivor, Dave Hall, off a deserted island in the South Pacific. Missing for almost two years, the castaways are thrust into the spotlight after their rescue, becoming media darlings overnight. But they can’t tell the real story—so they lie.
Wreckage is on sale for $1.99
~~~~
Working Fire is Bleeker's third book (her second book, When I'm Gone, is on sale for $4.99, and I love it to pieces).
Working Fire is about the relationship between two sisters and how their past informs the present. One sister is shot during a home invasion . . . and the other is the paramedic called to the scene.
Working Fire is on sale for $1.99

The Vanishing Year, by Kate Moretti
Zoe Whittaker is living a charmed life: wife of a handsome Wall Street tycoon, a member of Manhattan’s social elite, a perfect Tribeca penthouse in the city, and more.What no one knows is that five years ago, Zoe’s life was in danger. Back then, Zoe wasn’t Zoe at all. Now her secrets are coming back to haunt her.
As the past and present collide, Zoe must decide who she can trust before she—whoever she is—vanishes completely.
A “dark, twisty, edge-of-your-seat suspense” (Karen Robards)
This one is also on sale for $1.99

The Marsh King's Daughter, by Karen Dione
My favorite read this summer! This book could be classified as suspense, thriller, family drama, and women's fiction. All of them. Really. Add to that a dose of Finnish culture and a Scandinavian fairy tale (and that's not counting the awards and bestseller status!), and it's a recipe for a book I love.
The Marsh King is on sale for only $1.99
~~~Torch, by Cheryl Strayed
Remember the memoir Wild and the movie of the same name starring Reese Witherspoon? (Remember Loralai attempting the same hike along the Pacific Crest Trail?) This book is by the same author, and it's her first published novel:
"Work hard. Do good. Be incredible!" is the advice Teresa Rae Wood shares with the listeners of her local radio show, Modern Pioneers, and the advice she strives to live by every day. She has fled a bad marriage and rebuilt a life with her two children and their caring stepfather, Bruce. But when they received unexpected news that Teresa, only 38, is dying of cancer, their lives all begin to unravel and drift apart. Strayed's intimate portraits in a time of crisis show the varying truths of grief, forgiveness, and the beautiful terrors of learning how to keep living.

Summer Sisters, by Judy Blume#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
From the author many of us grew up reading comes an adult title: Decades ago, Vix's world changes forever when Caitlin chooses her as a friend. Dazzling, reckless Caitlin welcomed Vix into the heart of her sprawling, eccentric family, opening doors to a world of unimaginable privilege on Martha’s Vineyard, where they become “summer sisters.”Years later, Caitlin is getting married, and the early magic of their long, complicated friendship has faded.

She wants to understand what happened during their last shattering summer, and after all these years, she needs to know why her summer sister still has the power to break her heart.

The War of Art, by Steven Pressfield
If you've known me long, you've probably heard me gush about this book. I found it thanks to bestie and accountability partner Luisa, and it promptly changed the way I think about writing. I own the paperback as well as the ebook so that if I need a kick in the pants when I'm not in my office, I can read it on my phone. This is a great book for anyone struggling with a creative endeavor, which is almost everyone!
It's on sale for only $1.49. That's a screaming deal!

The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien

Roaring Deals: Week of August 6
This week's post is a day late, but these deals should make the wait worth it!
Rebooting My Brain: How a Freak Aneurysm Reframed My Life, by Maria Ross
Funny, touching and real, this book not only shares an inspirational story of transformation but reveals the surprising effects of brain injury…and explores the question, “How do our brains define who we are?”
This is the true story of what happens when you get yanked out of your life by a crisis―and have to get back on the ride all over again. Maria Ross shares how the relentless pace of her life came to a screeching halt when an undetected brain aneurysm ruptured and nearly killed her. Along her stubborn road back to health, her resulting cognitive and emotional challenges forced her―sometimes kicking and screaming―to reframe her life, her work, and her identity.
With humor and heart, Ross shares what it was like being blind for six weeks, how a TV crime drama and a brain-games website played key roles in her recovery, and why a handmade necklace helped her regain her sense of self.

Clare begins to piece together the story of Blue Sky House—a decades-old mystery more complex and tangled than she could have imagined. As she peels back the layers of Edith’s life, Clare discovers a story of dark secrets, passionate love, heartbreaking sacrifice, and incredible courage. She also makes startling discoveries about herself: where she’s come from, where she’s going, and what—and who—she loves.

Hunting Hour, by Margaret Mizushima
Deputy Mattie Cobb is in a dark place and has withdrawn from Cole Walker and his family to work on issues from her past. When she and her K-9 partner, Robo, get called to track a missing junior high student, they find the girl dead on Smoker’s Hill behind the high school, and Mattie must head to the Walker home to break the bad news. But that’s only the start of trouble in Timber Creek, because soon another girl goes missing—and this time it’s one of Cole’s daughters.
Knowing that each hour a child remains missing lessens the probability of finding her alive, Mattie and Robo lead the hunt while Cole and community volunteers join in to search everything—to no avail. It seems that someone has snatched all trace of the Walker girl from their midst, including her scent. Grasping at straws, Mattie and Robo follow a phoned-in tip into the dense forest, where they hope to find a trace of the girl and rescue her alive. But when Robo does catch her scent, it leads them to information that challenges everything they thought they knew about the case.

Her sole motivation to complete her training is getting revenge on the demon that killed her little boy.
But while she's there, she realizes there are other beings that threaten the way of life on earth.

Shaken out of a routine that centers on caring for her odd family in Warsaw—her father is an academic with no life skills, her brother never leaves the villa, and her mother has dementia—she is forced to act. Zaremba, a wealthy businessman, is fleeing arrest when he stops to save her father's life. Cordelia is grateful but wary. Is he truly being persecuted or is he deceiving her? Agreeing to aid him plunges her into new realms of emotion. When he disappears, she must gather all her courage and pursue the truth. Contains no graphic sex or violence.
Zaremba sale price: 99 cents.

Andrew Carnegie's Maid, by Marie Benedict
From the author of The Other Einstein, the mesmerizing tale of what kind of woman could have inspired an American dynasty.
Clara Kelley is not who they think she is. She's not the experienced Irish maid who was hired to work in one of Pittsburgh's grandest households. She's a poor farmer's daughter with nowhere to go and nothing in her pockets. But the other woman with the same name has vanished, and pretending to be her just might get Clara some money to send back home.
If she can keep up the ruse, that is. Serving as a lady's maid in the household of Andrew Carnegie requires skills he doesn't have, answering to an icy mistress who rules her sons and her domain with an iron fist.

Before I Let You Go, by Kelly Rimmer
From the description:
The 2:00 a.m. call is the first time Lexie Vidler has heard her sister’s voice in years. Annie is a drug addict, a thief, a liar—and in trouble, again. Lexie has always bailed Annie out, given her money, a place to sleep, sent her to every kind of rehab. But this time, she’s not just strung out—she’s pregnant and in premature labor. If she goes to the hospital, she’ll lose custody of her baby—maybe even go to prison. But the alternative is unthinkable.
As the weeks unfold, Lexie finds herself caring for her fragile newborn niece while her carefully ordered life is collapsing around her. In court-ordered rehab, Annie attempts to halt her downward spiral by confronting long-buried secrets from the sisters’ childhoods, ghosts that Lexie doesn’t want to face.

After a harrowing accident tore her family apart, Molly Brennan fled from the man she loved and the tragic mistake she made."
This book has a bit of magical realism, which I enjoyed.
