<p>I am finishing up a book about Aaron Hernandez, the athlete that ended committing suicide. It is the saddest thing. My son was a collegiate athlete and was drafted into the NFL but was injured, and Aaron was so very talented and threw it all away...And to follow his career and "non-career" is fascinating and a tearful. I also watch Investigation ID when I can.</p>

<p>And I forgot to add my recommendations. I read The Wife Between Us this summer and it has some MAJOR twists and really held my interest. I actually drove 10 minutes in the wrong direction one day because I was concentrating so hard on the story that I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. Oops!</p>

<p>I've been doing a LOT of reading lately because I've been slow (ugh!) and I'd like to share a couple of books with you: First, a co-worker of my husband's gave him a book the other day to give to me entitled "The Silent Wife," written by A.S.A. Harrison. Trust me, this book has caused me hours and hours of missed sleep as I've been staying up really late to read, read, read. It's so far a great book, well written and the author's usage of metaphors is incredible - you can literally see…</p>
<p>I've been doing a LOT of reading lately because I've been slow (ugh!) and I'd like to share a couple of books with you: First, a co-worker of my husband's gave him a book the other day to give to me entitled "The Silent Wife," written by A.S.A. Harrison. Trust me, this book has caused me hours and hours of missed sleep as I've been staying up really late to read, read, read. It's so far a great book, well written and the author's usage of metaphors is incredible - you can literally see the characters pop up in real life before the reader's eyes. The foreword says it's "this summer's 'Gone Girl.'" It's also the first novel for this author, which is amazing in itself.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Second and third place goes to one of my favorite authors, Elin Hilderbrand, with two of her books: The Perfect Couple and The Identicals. She's terrific and indoctrinates some type of food/cooking into her books oftentimes and seems to be a food purist or something close to it. I love her novels and they appear so far to end with the reader saying, "Yes, that's the way it should end."</p>
<p>Try these out and let me know what you think - everyone else, try them out!! </p>
<p>**IF THERE ARE ANY TRUE CRIME ENTHUSIASTS OUT THERE, LET ME KNOW!! I'M ALSO KIND OF INTERESTED IN THAT, IN HOW CRIMES ARE INVESTIGATED, SUSPECTS ARE BROUGHT TO TRIAL, CONVICTED, ETC.**</p>
<p>Second and third on my list is one of my favorite fiction authors: Elin Hilderbrand who has gifted me with hours on end of wonderful</p>

<p>I just read two books by Amor Towles: A Gentleman in Moscow and Rules of Civility. Amor Towles is a wonderful writer, and both books were great stories. I especially was taken with Rules of Civility as it was written from the point of view of a woman in NYC in the 1930s. I didn't realize until I finished the book that Amor Towles is a man. His writing from a woman's point of view was so realistic. </p>
