One of my favorite perks of having an Amazon Prime membership is getting ten books to read from a long list of popular books. Since I’ve been riding with my husband on the road a good chunk lately, I’ve had the opportunity to use this perk more. I decided to share my Prime Reading Adventures from this month with you.
About Prime Reading Membership Perk
The Prime Reading Membership Perk included with Prime allows you to have ten books out to read at a time. There are books AND magazines for all kinds of readers. I love reading my books on my iPhone, iPad, and Kindle. Regardless of which device I pick up, provided I have downloaded the book, I can pick up right where I left off.
Here are my September Prime Reading Adventures
The Bookstore Sisters: A Short Story
From New York Times bestselling author Alice Hoffman comes a heartfelt short story about family, independence, and finding your place in the world.
Isabel Gibson has all but perfected the art of forgetting. She’s a New Yorker now, with nothing left to tie her to Brinkley’s Island, Maine. Her parents are gone, the family bookstore is all but bankrupt, and her sister, Sophie, will probably never speak to her again.
But when a mysterious letter arrives in her mailbox, Isabel feels herself drawn to the past. After years of fighting for her independence, she dreads the thought of going back to the island. What she finds there may forever alter her path—and change everything she thought she knew about her family, her home, and herself.
My Review
The Bookstore Sisters: A Short Story was an extremely quick read. It was the perfect read for waiting for my husband to be unloaded. It only took me about three hours (if that long) to read this short and sweet book.
All The Lies: A Gripping Psychological Thriller Full of Twists
‘Wow! Riveting. I read it in one sitting.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
She thought he was the perfect husband. Now she’s running for her life.
As far as everyone is concerned, Amy and Jason have the perfect marriage. Except that Amy is trapped in a nightmare. Jason is a controlling, violent husband. Then on a short cruise without Jason, Amy befriends Liz, a young woman travelling alone on her way to meet her birth mother for the first time. Liz looks so much like Amy that they could be sisters.
When Amy regains consciousness after a ferry accident that takes the lives of many passengers, she finds that because of a mix-up in personal effects, everyone believes she is Liz. Only she knows it is Liz who has gone missing, presumed dead. Now, Amy has to make the most important decision of her life: tell the truth and return to a life of fear or become Liz for a while, until she figures out an escape plan.
But as Amy settles into Liz’s life, she finds that not everyone believes all the lies.
And she is only one mistake away from paying the price.
‘There is not one bad thing I can say about this book. I absolutely loved the ending it is one of those endings that you will watch the movie or read the book again just to get to it.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘This is a brilliant read. Wonderful well written plot and story line that had me engaged from the start.’ Goodreads reviewer
My Review
All The Lies: A Gripping Psychological Thriller Full of Twists was an engaging read that kept me interested from the beginning to the end. As someone with personal experience with domestic violence, this book was one I could relate to all too well. I loved how the author gave her a fresh start in a unique way.
The Couple Across The Street
The BRAND NEW psychological thriller from the #2 bestselling author of The Family at No. 12!
A darkness settles on this supposedly quiet street…
When Clare becomes a widow, her response is something that shocks her – relief. All she wants to do is move on and figure out how to continue her life, alone, no matter the guilt that brings.
So when Vic, her closest friend, comes to her, showing the signs of trouble in her own marriage, she is more than supportive in helping her leave Rob.
But Vic doesn’t get the chance to do that. Because as they go over to Vic’s house to collect her things, they find a body. Rob’s.
It appears someone else had an axe to grind. But for Clare, already reeling from secrets from her own late husband’s dark past, she’s about to find out this murder isn’t as straightforward as it may appear…

This is a thrilling book that has more than one storyline to it. Granted, the murder is important, but I feel that the story about Jed was just as intriguing, if not more so. I devoured this book with ease and quickly.
