The Chaperone - Laura Moriarty I wasn’t sure about this so it lazed in my room until it was nearly time to go back to the library, but I loved it. Simple and interesting.
American Empire 1945-2000 - Joshua Freeman this is when I finally admit to myself that no matter how interesting the history actually is, I am not capable of making it through a history book. Blah.
Broken Harbor - Tana French I didn’t love it as much as The Likeness, but it was still excellent. Tana French is an awesome writer.
Emperor's Edge - Lindsay Buroker I downloaded this free because Ordinary Girl had posted on goodreads about the whole series. I was not disappointed – it was fantastic. If you like fantasy/YA/action type books, download this today. And then download the rest of the series (I’m working on that)
Simply Irresistable - Jill Shalvis Cute, and without depth. Slightly smuttier than most chick lit. Perfect for what I needed.
Gone Girl - Gillian Flynn I was not as big a fan of this as everyone else seemed to be. It was good, yes. But ... I don't know. It just didn't stay with me that much.
Cold Kiss - Amy Garvey ugh, this was not great. I kept reading because I wanted to know what happened and then I was just glad to be done with it.
Outlander - Diana Gabaldon okay, so I really hate “period” pieces, and I really hate books where I have to think too much about wording and dialect because it takes me too far out of the story but I LOVED this. There was an interesting gloss over that I’d love to discuss with somebody but none of my IRL friends have read it, so … any takers?
The Surgeon - Tess Gerritsen Our book club book this month was supposed to be The Silent Girl which is the ninth in the series and I didn’t want to read that one without some background so I got the first from the library (MamaFuss has been recommending this series for months). I loved it. So much so that I’m working through the rest of the series via library ebook. They changed the Book Club book mid-month, but I’m still going to read Silent Girl when I get there in the series.
The Sinner - Tess Gerritsen see above
Body Double – Tess Garritsen see above
It feels to me like I read more than this, but this is all that’s on my list. I have a couple books on my nightstand that I haven’t gotten to, or have read a couple pages of, but every time I list a book that I’ve started but not completed, I never go back to it. So this month there’s none of that. If I actually read them, I’ll list next month. However, I’m working my way through the Gilmore Girls and the archives of the bloggers that will be at The Blathering so maybe October will be a light month. Time will tell!

Outlander - Diana Gabaldon: I'll give it a read. I have a friend who's been reading Diana Galbaldon for years and recommending her, but I've never given her a try.
I started reading Drowned Cities, but got to some disturbing scenes and I just can't read more right now.
I think the Rizzoli & Isles books just keep getting better (I just finished the brand-new one - #10!). It's so awesome when a series doesn't go downhill.
I can't decide whether to read Outlander. It seems like a lot to get into.
What are your thoughts on Outlander? I read it ages ago, but lord, it is one of my very favorites. Jamie and Claire are just great characters.
