Traveling is always good for my reading progress — well, at least the flights are good for reading. Once I get to my destination, I generally manage to just read the minimum each day to maintain my daily goal. That was definitely the situation when I got home for Fall Break. Here’s what I can tell you about my current read.
What I’m Currently Reading
Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty (p. 313 of 495). An airline flight might not have been the best place to really dive into this novel. Here’s the basic premise. While on a very full flight, a woman gets up from the front row of the main cabin. She stops at each row, points at each person and morbidly predicts the year of their death and the cause. While some are relieved as they learn that they will live to old age to die of a heart attack, others are alarmed at the woman’s predictions. A thirty-something man celebrating his birthday is told he will die this year in a work place accident. A toddler’s mother is told the child will drown in his seventh year. A new bride traveling to her honeymoon in her wedding dress learns that she will die due to “intimate partner homicide.” The novel proceeds to follow the passengers who have been warned of their death and the mysterious woman who made the predictions. This novel is terrifying, troubling, and captivating at the same time. I can’t wait to keep reading to see what is going to happen next!
What’s Next on My TBR?
I think my next read will be Every Secret Thing by Rebecca Harrt. This is the second volume in the “Acts of Valor” series. I really enjoyed the first of these Christian thrillers and wanted to go back in for a second trip. It will be a fairly easy read after working through the Moriarty brick. Also, I’m looking forward to picking up my Kindle this time around.
So there you have it! Until next week, happy reading y’all!
