After You by Jojo Moyes

Me Before You is one of the best books I've ever read.  I LOVE that book!  With the movie in theatres right now it has received a lot of attention.  I've seen a lot of people I know quickly trying to read the book before the movie.  I haven't seen the movie yet.  I will soon.  But while everyone is rushing to read the amazing Me Before You that I've know to be amazing for years, I've moved on to the sequel.

I think many people are unaware that there is a sequel.  Spread the word!  A sequel has big shoes to fill to one of my favourite books ever.   After You is not quite the heart wrenching love story that Me Before You is, but it is actually a very good sequel.  There were a few rapid page turning moments.  No kleenex required.  You can read it in public and not fear embarrassment.  But definitely read the sequel.  Definitely read the first book before you see the movie.  

Light Between Oceans Read Along

I

I received an email today inviting me to join a read along for The Light Between Oceans.  This book has been on my to read list for a while now.  The publisher tells me that there is a movie coming out soon.  I definitely need to finish the book before the movie!  I also love the idea of a read along.  There is a schedule on Goodreads that seems quite manageable.  Then there will be online discussions over the weeks.  Sounds like fun.

Here's a link to the Goodreads group.  Consider joining and following along.  You have a few weeks to grab a copy of the book and they are even giving away a few copies.
