Friday Reads: July 7, 2017Check out what our team is reading this week to gear up for the summer! Any one of these books would make a perfect beach, cottage, or pool side read. Andrea, Digital Associate: I just finished Dawn Study by Maria V. Snyder, it’s the final book in her Study series and a sad goodbye to her characters Yelena and Valek. I always love Snyder’s books for her remarkable world building and non-stop action—fights, kidnappings, assassination attempts, rogue magicians—it’s got it all. I can never resist starting series again after I finish her latest book. It’s hard to let go of the characters. My fingers are crossed for a Janco and Ari spin-off series. Readers can always use more Janco. ;)Sarah-Anne, Marketing Intern: Yesterday I finished I Found You. It is the first book I’ve read by Lisa Jewell, and I’m now obsessed with her! This book has everything. It’s at once funny, tragic, and heartwarming – but also definitely a thriller. Jewell will have you believing you’ve got it figured out until she switches directions completely. And when all the pieces finally start coming together, it’s so satisfying. Easy to devour in one sitting, I Found You is as perfect for the beach as it is for a cozy night in!Samantha, Sales Operations Associate: Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is a strange and wonderful debut novel. Eleanor is a completely unlikeable loner at the beginning, but I cared more and more about her as the story went along, and less and less about the scandalous secret past that’s alluded to throughout. Eleanor’s struggles to integrate with new friends and coworkers are both a profound meditation on loneliness, and also an underdog story of the very best kind. Definitely a book that will stick with me. -- source link
