The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
I don't know whether to call it a mystery or a ghost story (as the cover suggests) or the journey of a woman trying to understand herelf better. But it was fantastic. I kept slowing myself down to savour some of the language used in her writing. Very enjoyable, a GREAT book club book!
Wife 22 by Melanie Gideon
3.0
Read this on vacation, and it was the perfect time to do so. More complex that you'd think a book with this story line would be, but it was enjoyable throughout.
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
5.0
It takes a special writer to create two main characters that both make the reader uncomfortable, yet unable to put the book down. I found myself gasping at the actions of both of them, genuinely surprised by the surprises, and enjoying how awful the whole experience was. This book was left on my doorstep by a friend with great taste in books, and did not disappoint.
One of my favorite books in a long time.

Wild by Cheryl Strayed
5.0
One of the best memoirs I've read, I originally felt it was too much all over the press and never bothered to pick it up. I'm glad I finally did. Cheryl's story felt raw, honest, and earnest. She put her ugly bits up for us to view as she reviewed them herself, so we could understand why she put herself through the challenge that she did. I now understand why so many people were talking about Wild when it first came out.
