Happy Friday, Bookworms! Here’s what the team at Simon & Schuster Canada is reading.
Jordyn, Sales Assistant: I just finished Loyalty in Death, by J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts’ pseudonym). This book is number 9 in the in Death series. I’m not even close to finishing because there are over 50 books in the series, and they’re still coming out! I love this series because each book is a murder mystery set in a futuristic mid-21st century New York City. The main character, Lieutenant Eve Dallas, had a rough childhood, but makes up for it by being a badass homicide cop who is prickly but efficient. It also helps that there’s a hunky love interest, but really, solving the murder mystery takes precedence in this series. It’s a lengthy series, but maybe one day I’ll manage to catch up!
Jacquelynne, Marketing Assistant: As you may all recall, I was reading Owl and the Japanese Circus a little while ago. I put that book down to start reading for one of our Conferences and forgot to pick it back up. Just recently I picked it up again, and I forgot how much I LOVED Owl, Rynn, Oricho, and (of course) Captain. With that in mind, I decided to pick up the second volume, Owl and the City of Angels. I am only a few chapters in, but Owl is just as feisty and funny as ever! I love how Kristi Charish has built a character I can so easily connect with, and secondary characters that really build and move the plot. The settings are always intriguing, and the mix of modern and historical elements are definitely a favourite of mine. Owl is truly a modern Indiana Jane, with a few nerdy qualities I can’t help but adore. If you’re a fan of supernatural, historical, and adventurous light reading, Kristi Charish’s Owl Series is for you. And now is the perfect time to start this series, because this May marks the third installment in the series: Owl and the Electric Samurai.
Holley, Publicity Assistant: I loved reading The Impossible Fortress by Jason Rekulak! It is a delightful story about young love between two young computer coders! The novel brings you into the 1980s in a coming of age story about friendship and young love. A great read for anyone, with the bonus of being able to play the game from the book online at http://www.jasonrekulak.com/game/

Happy Friday, Bookworms! Here’s what the team at Simon & Schuster Canada is reading.
Andrea, Digital Marketing Associate: I’m currently re-reading Kim Harrison’s The Drafter before I dig into the second book in the series, The Operator. I love any story line that involves time travel, and Peri Reed is the epitome of strong kick-ass female protagonist that readers all love and need. I’m falling in love with these characters all over again and am picking up on details I missed the first time around. Bonus: the prequel novella Sideswiped is included in the mass market paperback (which I had previously not read).
Siobhan, Editorial: I’ve stepped beyond my normal reading horizon and have been reading Jasper Forde’s dystopian novel, Shades of Grey—and no, it’s nothing like Fifty Shades ofGrey. It’s a fun and highly weird tale set in a futuristic world where all aspects of society are ruled by the colours you can and cannot see. I’ve only just dipped in, but it’s been a treat so far!
Jordyn, Sales Operations Assistant: I just finished The Hating Game, by Sally Thorne, which is a steamy romance novel featuring two coworkers who totally hate each other. It’s hard to find a good love/hate relationship book because the transition from hating to dating can be easily unbelievable. This book, however, totally nails it! I love the intensity between Lucy and Josh, and while the sexy stuff is slow-burning, there are quite a few lines in there that make you pause and say “daaaaamn”. I’m not going to lie; I had to take a water break at a couple points. Highly recommend!
