Reading This weekend
It's a bank holiday this weekend in Ireland and as we have had our fair share of snow ,sleet , hail ,and sunshine I thought it was best to plan indoor activities in the form of reading some fabulous books . That being said , here are the books I have chosen for this weekend . I have already started this first book , I am about half way through it and loving it.

The Sea Detective by Mark Douglas-Home. Review
The story begins with an eye opening prologue where I instantly became interested in what was going to happen . This interest continued throughout the story . There is almost two stories going on here, the story of Cal's own family background in the past and secondly that of young girls traded in a dispicable business in present day. There were times it was hard to keep reading , but the need to know what the outcome was going to be kept me flying through the pages . I love stories about the sea and so the plot interested me , the maritime history and mysteries was fascinating . Cal is a pretty laid back and decent human being with unusual jobs , he is very likeable and I was rooting for him throughout the story . I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys thrillers, mysteries and maritime tales.

Braking For Bodies by Duffy Brown . Review
This is the second book in the wonderful Cycle Path Mystery series . This setting of the story takes place in June on the very scenic Mackinoc Island where the main character of the story Evie lives. Evie works in the bike shop on the island where she hires bikes out to the tourists.
For a small island there is no scarcity of comical characters and day dream inducing scenery discriptions . I love this series ! In this book the island is celebrating the Lilac festival so there are plenty of tourists about as well as a blast from the past in the form of Fiona's old boss, the creepy peephole Perry. As well as the fun of the festival there is a sudden amount of extra drama that no one had planned for and its up to Evie, Fiona and Irish Donna to sort it all out! This was a gorgeous fun read , I love Irish Donna , she is a hoot! The entire story was the perfect escapist read. Now all I have to do is wait for the next awesome book in the series :0)

My Husbands Wife by Jane Corry. Review
This story is told in two ways , through the eyes of lawyer Lily and young Italian girl Carla. The story begins with a case that Lily is working on , she is not keen on this part of her job , trying to find evidence to get inmates out of jail but she is professional and gets on with it. Carla lives near Lily and she and her glamourous mum have their own problems . These two women's lives are linked in ways I did not see coming and I literally did not put this book down until I finished it. Crime , love , loss , and violence surround the story and these characters are people you really want to know more about so this made for a very fun reading marathon in my house. I loved it ! It kept me guessing until the very end.

Outliers by Kimberley McCreight. Review
This YA book centres around a young female called Wylie. Wylie lives with her dad and brother and her mother has recently died. When Wylie gets a message one day from her troubled friend Cassie it sets in moron a string of incidents that will change Wylie's life and the way she thought of it forever .
This book had it all... mysterious road trip , missing friend, mental illness and lies , which is why I read this in one sitting . I had to know what was going on and who the bad guys were or if it was a figment of a young girls troubled imagination . Great read!

When I Was Invisible by Dorothy Koomson . Review
This is a story about two women who originally met at school . They have one very unusual thing in common , the very same name , but they go by Roni and Nika. The story is an interesting one from the curious introduction of these two females to fast forward many years and both of their lives are very different . We learn early on something happened between the two women but we do not learn what until much later , I tried to guess judging by where they were in their lives in the present tense but I did not see it coming . This is an emotional read, when I finished the last page it felt like a big hole had been left inside me and it's rare a book will do that to me. The story covered topics like friendship, domestic abuse, homelessness and survival , and at the centre are these two friends with a unique bond that could not be broken. I recommend this to everyone ! Breathtaking!
