I’m back at it again. I’m still looking at my Amazon Wish List and going through that. This is where I put the books I really want so it’s HARD to take some off…but I managed to take off another few…
Something To Live For by Richard Roper
Blurb
Sometimes you have to risk everything to find your something…
Andrew works with death for a living. Searching for people’s next of kin and attending the funerals if they don’t have anyone, he’s desperate to avoid the same fate for himself. Which is fine, because he has the perfect wife and 2.4 children waiting at home for him after a long day. At least, that’s what he’s told people.
The truth is, his life isn’t exactly as people think and the little white lie he once told is about to catch up with him.
Because in all Andrew’s efforts to fit in, he’s forgotten one important thing: how to really live. And maybe, it’s about time for him to start.
Why? The blurb kind of sells this one short. I am sure I found this through some rave reviews on here, but if I can’t remember them, then it has to go!
The Silver Sting by Angela Dandy
Blurb
It has been thirteen years since the elderly residents of Magnolia Court were scammed out of a comfortable retirement by an unscrupulous developer who took their money and ran.
A twist of fate leads Gabby, Uncle Max and Aunt Hetty’s niece to uncover the developer’s whereabouts.
Pointed in the right direction by Gabby, the residents draw on their life skills to overcome one obstacle after another in order to recover what is theirs by right.
No one should underestimate the tenacity and ingenuity of this charming and endearing bunch of senior citizens. Age and infirmity are set aside as they set out on their quest to seek retribution.
In Uncle Max’s own words: “I believe that our little ruse could well go down in history as an example of what can be achieved when people, irrespective of their age, pool their skills and work together as a team. Regrettably, we cannot write the story – none of us would like to spend the rest of our days at Her Majesty’s pleasure – but maybe someday someone will write it for us…”
Why? Meh…this just doesn’t do anything for me. This is one where I read the description and go weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell, if it landed in my lap I’d read it ASAP. No, this would collect dust on my Kindle, haha. Like the 30 some odd books I’ve paid for and are just sitting there…doing nothing…it’s a problem, I know!
The Girl Who Was Supposed To Die by April Henry
Blurb
“Take her out back and finish her off.”
She doesn’t know who she is. She doesn’t know where she is, or why. All she knows when she comes to in a ransacked cabin is that there are two men arguing over whether or not to kill her.
And that she must run.
In her riveting style, April Henry crafts a nail-biting thriller involving murder, identity theft, and biological warfare. Follow Cady and Ty (her accidental savior turned companion), as they race against the clock to stay alive, in The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die.
Why? Again….I have sooooo many more books that peak my interest more than this one, so…it has to go!
Have you been clearing your TBR shelves at all? Should I have kept any of these??
