It’s Monday! What Are You Reading (69)
Hello readers! Happy Monday! I hope you all are great and had wonderful week.
Last Week I Read-
It was great read. Thrilling and fun with corporate drama. I will definitely recommend this to all who are in for psychological thriller. Review will be up on 8th this week.
Currently Reading-
New York, 1939. Tom Bradshaw is arrested for first degree murder. He stands accused of killing his brother. When Sefton Jelks, a top Manhattan lawyer, offers his services for nothing, penniless Tom has little choice but to accept his assurance of a lighter sentence. After Tom is tried, found guilty and sentenced, Jelks disappears, and the only way for him to prove his innocence would be to reveal his true identity – something that he has sworn never to do in order to protect the woman he loves.
Meanwhile, the young woman in question travels to New York, leaving their only son behind in England, having decided she’ll do whatever it takes to find the man she was to marry – unwilling to believe that he died at sea. The only proof she has is a letter. A letter that has remained unopened on a mantelpiece in Bristol for over a year.
In Jeffrey Archer’s epic novel, family loyalties are stretched to their limits as secrets unravel, and the story moves from the backstreets of Bristol to the boardrooms of Manhattan. Join the great storyteller on a journey where there are no stop signs, no cul-de-sacs and no dead ends.
I’m half way through this book and I hope to finish it tomorrow before sun sets .
Next I will be Reading-
Set in a United States in which half the population has been silenced, Vox is the harrowing, unforgettable story of what one woman will do to protect herself and her daughter.
On the day the government decrees that women are no longer allowed more than one hundred words per day, Dr. Jean McClellan is in denial. This can’t happen here. Not in America. Not to her.
Soon women are not permitted to hold jobs. Girls are not taught to read or write. Females no longer have a voice. Before, the average person spoke sixteen thousand words each day, but now women have only one hundred to make themselves heard.
For herself, her daughter, and every woman silenced, Jean will reclaim her voice.
This is just the beginning…not the end.
I bought this in Feb this year. Finally, I have time to read this book.

I just started Lady Rogue by Jenn Bennett. Vox is an interesting, yet terrifying read for woman. Looking forward to your thoughts.

Lady Rogue sounds adventurous. I hope you enjoy it.
I started Vox today, read only 5 chapters and I already don’t want to be trapped in ‘Vox world’.

I’m curious to know what you think of VOX!

Thank you! I don’t read a lot of adult fantasy, so I’m slow getting into it. But I do like it so far.

I’m currently in the middle of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants–for some reason I never got around to reading it when I was younger, so here we go! 🙂
