The A to Z Challenge was my very first challenge. I chose to do the Title Challenge. I didn’t find out about the challenge until the summer, but thanks to blogging, I was able to remember which books I’ve read this year.

This challenge opened me up to a lot of books I probably wouldn’t have read. Once I got to the point where there were 7 or 8 books I still didn’t have, I made a trip to Borders and skimmed the shelves until I found them all.

My favorite books I read for this challenge were Killer Cruise, Gentleman in Room 205, The Quickie and Zombie Blondes. Believe it or not, 3 of those were ones that I just found because I needed a book with a specific letter title.

My least favorite books were Son of a Witch and The Memory Keeper’s Daughter.

You may notice a trend in my reviews lately. I keep saying “I just got this book because I needed it for my A to Z Challenge.” You may also notice that I have REALLY liked all of them. And this one went way above and beyond.

I have always heard great things about James Patterson, but this is the first one of his that I’ve picked up.

I knew from the back of the book that cheating was involved and a murder, but I was shocked throughout the entire book how many twists and turns there were. Every time I thought nothing else could happen, another curveball was thrown. There’s really not a lot I can say about this book without giving things away, except don’t ever think you’re in the clear of the drama. It’s always around the corner.

One of the things I really liked about this book, and I’m not sure if it rings true for all Patterson books, but they have super short chapters. Most are 2-3 pages. Yes, there are over 100 chapters, but I’m the kind of reader who likes to pop open my book when I have a few minutes here and there. With such short chapters, I was able to knock out a chapter in my couple of  minutes and not get stuck in the middle of something huge.

This book is definitely not the normal type of book I read. I am more of a fluff reader, but after this, I’ll have to start picking up more of his books. If they’re all this drama filled, I’m a lifer

I wish I could just spill all the drama, but I’m not going to. Instead, I am going to give this book 5 bookmarks. Yes, you heard right. There’s not one thing I have to complain about this book. Absolutely loved it!

Happy Teaser Tuesday friends.

As you see by the somewhat vulgar title and picture to the right, I’m reading The Quickieby James Patterson. Wasn’t sure how I would feel about it, but absolutely love it. I’ve been thinking all day about what today’s tease would be. There’s so many freaking turns and twists, I don’t know where to start.

Since I don’t want to give too much away, I won’t go too deep into the book.

Pg. 38 “Both shadows stopped moving. Then one dropped. He actually bounced off the ground before he lay completely still. Who was hurt? Who was down? I wondered with a kind of dumbstruck curiosity. Then the scariest question of all occurred to me. One that took my breath away as it nicked through my heart like a cold razor. Who did I want it to be?’

This is the kind of book you wish you could do a teaser for EVERY week! I bet I could get one from each chapter. Hope to finish this within the next day and get my review up! Enjoy!
