What Janine is Reading: Late Summer to Fall of 2013

JanineReading ListsReading lists15 Comments

Killing Sarai by J.A. Redmerski I’m not sure whether this self-published 400-page romantic suspense novel qualifies for the New Adult category. On the one hand, the heroine and main narrator of the story (at least in the first 38% which I read) is only twenty-three years old, and Redmerski is ... more >

It’s been forever since I did one of these columns, so this will cover a lot of books: Ride with Me by Ruthie Knox Ruthie Knox’s About Last Night was my favorite contemporary of 2012. I don’t read many straight contemporaries, because I typically enjoy them more mildly than other ... more >
