Deadlines Don't Care If Janet Doesn't Like Her Photo - David Thorne

If you aren't familiar with this author, I suggest you start here to get an idea of his comedy. I happen to find him hilarious and this book was more of the same. Recommended. 

The Family Upstairs - Lisa Jewell

Readers, this book was a serious page turner. Recommended to me as a cool spooky novel, I have to say it lived up to the recommendation. I think I read this in a total of like 6 hours over 2 days and didn't want to put it down. It kept me guessing too. Recommended 

The Five Wounds - Kirstin Valdez Quade

Another book full of people that make it soooooooo hard to want to like them LOL This author really has a way of providing just enough information about characters to make the reader simultaneously want to root for them and also grab them by the shoulders and give them a good shake. I suspect there is much to be made of the symbolism in this book's title and the events that unfold. In the end I guess we are all wounded in some way, and it's what we are able to achieve despite these wounds that matters.
