Thursday Book Challenge - Week 8!









Okay, I've done a lot of reading since the last time I wrote a blog post about reading, but because I don't want to bore you with all the books I've read I am just going to tell you about the ones I really enjoyed!


So first up is The Hunger Games and Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins, I wanted to re-read these books before I went to see the movie! And I had to say that even the second time they are really good! So was the movie, but that's another topic :)


And now I'm reading Contagion by Robin Cook which is the second in his Jack and Laurie series! It's really good and I'm loving it so far! This is what it says about it on Robin Cook's site:



After he loses first his Midwestern ophthalmology practice to a for-profit medical giant and then his family to a commuter airline tragedy, Dr. John Stapleton's life is transformed to ashes. Feeling less the golden boy than a jaded cynic, Stapleton retrains in forensic pathology and relocates to find an uneasy niche for himself in a city that suits his changed perspective: the cold, indifferent, concrete maze of New York.
Stapleton thinks he is past pain and past caring, but as a series of virulent and extremely lethal illnesses—capped by a particularly deadly outbreak of a rare strain of influenza—strikes the young, the old, and the innocent, his suspicions are aroused. When the apparent epicenters of these outbreaks are revealed to be hospitals and clinics controlled by the same for-profit giant that cannibalized his old ophthalmology practice, Stapleton fears he has stumbled upon a diabolic conspiracy of catastrophic proportions: Could the for-profit giant be engaged in the systematic elimination of its more costly subscribers?
Getting at the truth leads to Stapleton's unlikely pairing—both professionally and personally—with Terese Hagen, an art director at a hot Madison Avenue advertising firm. Together they discover that the real explanation behind the killer contagions is even more Machiavellian than could be imagined.



So yeah, that's it! Head on over to An Accidental Knitter to check out what every one else is reading! Hope you have a good day/night/evening. Thanks for reading! Cya next week!
