5 Best Books I read in January 2016

Today, I'm sharing a list of the best books I read this month. January has been a great month for reading. I signed up to read 50 books this year and I'm headed on the path tp completion. Here's the list of the five best books I read this month:  Before I go to Sleep by S.J. Watson: The book had me hooked from the first page. S.J Watson’s style is surreal and fast paced. You become a part of the character’s life and begin seeing things from their point of view. The author conveys the female protagonists feelings extremely well. S.J. Watson creates suspense and thrill without venturing into 'hardboiled' territory. The characters are realistic which increases the impact of the story. I loved the book and would recommend it to all fans of psychological thrillers. The Book Launch Blueprint by Tim Grahl: I got this one for free because I subscribe to Tim’s newsletter (Heads up: subscribe to my newsletter to receive a free copy of my next book when it comes out). I enjoyed this book more than his first one. The book is fairly short at 89 pages but filled with practical, actionable book launch tips. I can’t wait to put his advice into action. This one is a must-read for all self-published authors in the process of releasing a book. Howdunit: Forensics by D.P. Lyle: The ultimate guide to forensics for the mystery writer. As you all know, I’ve been working on The Ghost of Robert Brown, my next mystery novel. D.P. Lyle has authored many other books on Forensics and mystery writing. I thought anybody who wants to learn about forensics would benefit from this book. Though the book targets mystery writers, its content us universal. The book was extremely well-researched. I liked how the author explained the scientific theory behind each process. Howdunit: Police Procedure & Investigation by Lee Lofland : This is another book in the Howdunit series. Police procedure is written by an ex-policeman which makes is very accurate and easy-to-read. Not only does the author offer the theory and legality of police procedure, but he also writes about his personal experience. The author’s insider point of view helped me understand the functions of various police departments and legal offices better. Another must-read for thriller and mystery authors. #Girlboss by Sophia Amoruso: I picked this one up fairly recently. If you don't know, I'm in the process of launching my online t-shirt store. I picked up this book after coming across it in a list of recommended books for new fashion entrepreneurs. #Girlboss is inspirational. Filled with gritty, humorous prose, #Girlboss is for anybody who wants to succeed in life. Sophia's story is inspiring. Her energy and go-getter attitude are infectious. The book is funny, well-written and entertaining. I recommend this to anybody who wants a kick of motivation.
