Favorite Quote:
Favorite Bite: There
is a little diner in my hometown, Frontier Cafe, that we go to once in a
while. They have a really good hamburger
steak (ordered from the seniors’ section of the menu - their portions are HUGE - plain, well done) that tastes EXACTLY how BOTH of my grandmothers used to make
it. Transports me back in time a bit!
[Side note: You know you live in a small
town when….at aforementioned diner (which is a seat yourself, very high class
kinda joint) you are in someone’s “spot”.
HAHAHAHAHA]
Favorite Book: Gone Girl by Gillian
Flynn. “Marriage can be a real killer. One of the most critically acclaimed suspense
writers of our time, New York Times bestseller Gillian Flynn takes that
statement to its darkest place in this unputdownable masterpiece about a
marriage gone terribly, terribly wrong. The Chicago Tribune proclaimed
that her work “draws you in and keeps you reading with the force of a pure
but nasty addiction.” Gone Girl’s toxic mix of sharp-edged wit and deliciously
chilling prose creates a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds you at every
turn.
On a warm
summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne’s fifth
wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made
when Nick’s clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on
the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn’t doing himself any favors
with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife’s head, but
passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put
anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and
the media—as well as Amy’s fiercely doting parents—the town golden boy parades
an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly
evasive, and he’s definitely bitter—but is he really a killer?
As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn’t do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?
With
her razor-sharp writing and trademark psychological insight, Gillian Flynn
delivers a fast-paced, devilishly dark, and ingeniously plotted thriller that
confirms her status as one of the hottest writers around.
