Sleeping With A Wall Street Banker is a psychological thriller that begins when lawyer Alice Francis leaves her life in London for a new start with Wall Street banker Jake Logan in New York. She quickly learns that this is a man consumed by his need to control; he loves but on his terms. When Jake’s ex-girlfriend, Jessica, finds out about Jake’s relationship with Alice, Alice’s life takes a dark turn. For all the trappings of success from a Wall Street career, Jake is a man tormented by the irrational guilt he carries from his past relationship with Jessica. Jessica is unmarried and childless with a biological clock that has all but stopped ticking, and Jake is her back-up plan. Her ultimate goal is to fix Jake’s life by interfering, setting him up, and blackmailing him in an effort to force him into a horrible relationship that was never meant to be. With Alice in the picture, Jessica’s goal is almost certainly a recipe for disaster and a fate equal to death itself. When the plan begins to fail, a mentally unbalanced Jessica resorts to destruction.

Waiting On Wednesday - November 20th

My WOW pick this week is

Midnight Crossroad 

by Charlaine Harris

Available May 2014

Synopsis via Goodreads

FIRST IN A NEW TRILOGY

From Charlaine Harris, the bestselling author who created Sookie Stackhouse and her world of Bon Temps, Louisiana, comes a darker locale—populated by more strangers than friends. But then, that’s how the locals prefer it…

Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and Davy Road. It’s a pretty standard dried-up western town.

There’s a pawnshop (someone lives in the basement and is seen only at night). There’s a diner (people who are just passing through tend not to linger). And there’s new resident Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he’s found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his own).

Stop at the one traffic light in town, and everything looks normal. Stay awhile, and learn the truth...

****************

Why am I waiting on Midnight Crossroad? I'm a huge Charlaine Harris fan and will read anything she writes :)

Top Ten Tuesday - November 19th

Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

This is my first time participating in Top Ten Tuesday and I couldn't be more excited.

My oldest daughter is quickly approaching the tween years which will be quickly followed by her becoming a teenage girl. As this happens I'm watching her reading material mature from books like Junie B. Jones to classics like Heidi. As much as I hate watching my sweet little girl grow up right before my eyes, I can't wait to read more mature stuff together. I have an ongoing list in my head of YA books I hope she'll read, or maybe we might even get to read together. I'll share my Top Ten with you!

1. Shiver 

by Maggie Stiefvater

I just adore Maggie's writing. Her prose inspires me to want to write and get more in touch with my creativity. I hope she could conjure the same feelings in my daughter.

2. The Hunger Games Trilogy

by Suzanne Collins

Katniss is strong, smart, and brave. Perfect role model for any girl if you ask me.

3. Brightly Woven

by Alexandra Bracken

 

I'm just madly in love with everything this book is and think everyone should read it. If I could keep just one of my books, this would be it.

4. Harry Potter 

by J.K. Rowling

It's Harry Potter. Need I say more?

5. A Spy in the House

by Y.S. Lee

As a lover of historical fiction, I can't not mention The Agency trilogy. It offers great mysteries and an amazing main character. It also offers racial diversity that is still seriously lacking from the shelves of pretty much every bookstore. Raising biracial kiddos makes me seek out books with non-white main characters. This is one I hope my daughter will love as much as I did.

6.  Anna and the French Kiss

by Stephanie Perkins

 

Romance. Paris. Cute boys.

This is a book that just leaves you all warm and fuzzy.  We all need a little of that in our lives. 

7. The Bane (previously titled Eden)

by Keary Taylor

Keary Taylor is a self-published author and an amazing example of what happens when you work hard. She also tells really good stories :)

8. Ruby Red

by Kerstin Gier

My daughter has been kind of obsessed with books that have been translated from other languages ever since reading Pippi Longstocking together. The Ruby Red Trilogy was translated from German and is an AMAZING read. 

9. Kat, Incorrigible

by Stephanie Burgis

Kat, Incorrigible is actually more middle grade, but no less amazing. I had so much fun reading this book. The whimsical covers are also loads of fun to just stare at :) 

10. The Sky is Everywhere

by Jandy Nelson

I read this book three years ago and I can still remember how it made me feel. The writing and story are beautiful. This book is a must read.
