I love a good mystery novel and I just finished a real page-turner!
If you’ve read James Patterson books in the past, you know they go so fast because they have short chapters and you blast right through the pages in no time.
The Writer has so many twists and turns! Just when you think you have it figured out, there’s a twist (and then another and then another and another!)
So add this one to your list- The Writer by James Patterson and J.D. Barker. I think you’ll really enjoy it.
There’s also a cat featured in the story- so reading about one while my own Phil Dawson snuggled on my lap or snoozed beside me in bed seemed like all was “write” in the world.

Movie Review: Roofman
I’m going to start out by saying that I love Channing Tatum, so I’m completely biased. COMPLETELY. That being said, aside from my admiration, he is a really good actor. And don’t scoff at that…. he is! He has range. He can ham it up in slapstick comedy movies like 21 Jump Street (2012), dance […]
