Currently Reading

I’m still listening to the audiobook I mentioned last week, My Sister the Serial Killer – I just wasn’t really in a mood for audiobooks so I haven’t put it on a lot. I did finish reading Someone Like Me, M.R. Carey – which was awesome. It’s quite a page turner! I’ve read Carey’ other books – The Girl with All the Gifts, and The Boy on the Bridge – both of which are also fantastic. I’m adding M.R. Carey to my list of must-read authors.

Someone Like Me, M.R. Carey

Someone Like Me (Book)

Liz Kendall wouldn’t hurt a fly. She’s a gentle woman devoted to bringing up her kids in the right way, no matter how hard times get. But there’s another side to Liz—one which is dark and malicious. A version of her who will do anything to get her way, no matter how extreme or violent. And when this other side of her takes control, the consequences are devastating. The only way Liz can save herself and her family is if she can find out where this new alter-ego has come from, and how she can stop it.
