I love it when a book just sucks me in and doesn't let go. While it can kill me energy level staying up late into the night or drive my husband nuts. Sometimes it is the pace that keeps me going, other times it is the urge to know what is next, and often it the that the book is JUST THAT GREAT!
Here are a few books that have been impossible or really hard to put down (usually work, or passing out). that I have read in the past year for various reasons. The winner of this giveaway can pick any two of these books to win OR one book of their choice (up to $15) from The book Depository. For these books, if they are part of a series, you can pick any book in the series! OPEN INT!!!
There have been many other great books but these are the ones jumping out at me the most.
