Someone We Know by Shari Lapena
My personal favorite books to read are thrillers because of how fast paced they are. I love flipping through the pages trying to find out what happened. In the new novel Someone We Know by Shari Lapena it takes place in a small suberb of New York. A teenager has recently been sneaking into homes and hacking into computers finding all of their secrets. Also, when a woman down the street is found murdered, the tension reaches the breaking point. Is it the teen or is it someone that he uncovered secrets from. This book sounds like such a page turner and it’s currently at Barnes and Noble from $14. This book is also a Barnes and Noble bestseller, already!
The Inn by James Patterson
Releasing August 5th, the Inn by James Paterson is another thriller and best seller from Barnes and Noble. This book takes place in Boston where an inn stands alone on the coastline. There is a new local gang of bad guys in town that have been messing with the inn. Residents at the inn must defend themselves with help of a lone officer. This book sounds like another suspenseful option and a great option for the beach.
The Art of Racing in the Rain Tie-in by Garth Stein
I also love a heartfelt novel and “The Art of Racing in the Rain Tie” by New York times best selling author Garth Stein. This novel is also now a major motion picture and it describes a dogs point of view of the world. This book is supposed to be heart wrenching, funny and up-lifting. With over 8,000 reviews, this book is rated 4.7/5 stars from Amazon customers.
