Happy Saturday! It is the last Saturday of May! Last week I mixed it up a bit and included books on my wishlist as well as ones in my library. I had a huge amount of voting – so thank you! It was quite exciting to see how the voting would go! I am not surprised at one of the books that have been saved. Plus the Chuck them All has not been used a lot in the last couple of weeks!
So I am saving this week….
Now please vote wisely as I have a couple of books I do want saving, so please make sure it is done correctly ?
This week, again, I have included books not only that I own but ones I want to buy – so the voting could get interesting.
Which 2 do you save?
Stay Close by Harlan Coben
Goodreads
Also by this author: Dont Let Go
Megan is a suburban soccer mom who once upon a time walked on the wild side. Now she's got two kids, a perfect husband, a picket fence, and a growing sense of dissatisfaction.
Ray used to be a talented documentary photographer, but at age forty he finds himself in a dead- end job posing as a paparazzo pandering to celebrity-obsessed rich kids.
Jack is a detective who can't let go of a cold case-a local husband and father disappeared seventeen years ago, and Jack spends the anniversary every year visiting a house frozen in time, the missing man's family still waiting, his slippers left by the recliner as if he might show up any moment to step into them.
Three people living lives they never wanted, hiding secrets that even those closest to them would never suspect, will find that the past doesn't recede. Even as the terrible consequences of long-ago events crash together in the present and threaten to ruin lives, they will come to the startling realization that they may not want to forget the past at all.
And as each confronts the dark side of the American Dream- the boredom of a nice suburban life, the excitement of temptation, the desperation and hunger that can lurk behind even the prettiest facades- they will discover the hard truth that the line between one kind of life and another can be as whisper-thin as a heartbeat.

Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace.
He has looks and wealth, she has charm and elegance. You might not want to like them, but you do.
You’d like to get to know Grace better.
But it’s difficult, because you realise Jack and Grace are never apart.
Some might call this true love.
Others might ask why Grace never answers the phone.
Or how she can never meet for coffee, even though she doesn’t work.
How she can cook such elaborate meals but remain so slim. And why there are bars on one of the bedroom windows.
Sometimes, the perfect marriage is the perfect lie.

I’m a bit sad that Lost Boy has gone but at least Clare Mackintosh got to stay. If Behind Closed Doors has to go this week you’ll need to give your voters a good talking-to though ?
