Would you rather know a truth that makes you feel hopeless, or keep believing the lies?
“But it’s time we’ve all admitted to this fact: there is nothing wrong with being single! Whether you’re holding out for a deeper connection, are focusing on your career, or just want to spend more of your time being free to do exactly as you please, more and more women are choosing to remain single for extended periods of time.”

From New York Times bestselling author of the “twisty-mystery” (Vulture) novel In a Dark, Dark Wood, comes The Woman in Cabin 10, an equally suspenseful and haunting novel from Ruth Ware—this time, set at sea.
“Maybe 2017 is the year that you’re finally going to run that marathon. Maybe you’re going to be more politically engaged this year, or start volunteering, or learn the clarinet. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll actually make it through your To Be Read list for the first time in living memory. Here are a few tips to read more in the New Year, for all those over-scheduled book nerds out there.”
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 of Grey. 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!
“I am dead, but it’s not so bad.”
Off the Shelf has compiled a list of their favourite first lines. See more here!
“There are romance novels for literary lovers, YA fans, thriller and mystery enthusiasts, and even for your book club! There are also at least eight solid reasons (possibly many more) why every book-lover should pick up one of these books and give it a shot.”
Happy Friday, Bookworms! Here’s what the team at Simon & Schuster Canada is reading.
Jacquelynne, Marketing Assistant: This weekend I’m reading To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, by Jenny Han. I know, I know, I am WAY behind on this series. I am just getting back into contemporary YA novels and I thought, why not start with a classic? (And just in time for Always and Forever, Lara Jean, out this year!)
Holley, Publicity Assistant: I have been a Zoe Whittall kick
lately. After reading Holding Still for as Long as Possible, I dove into The
Best Kind of People. Both novels are very different but equally compelling.
Over the holidays I began Bottle Rocket Hearts. It’s a coming of age
story set in Montreal in the 90’s. Whittall has such a talent for character
development that, no matter what is going on, I need to read more about the
interesting individuals she has created.
Jordyn, Sales Operations Assistant: I am currently reading the
second edition of Y: The Last Man, which is a graphic novel by Brian K.
Vaughan. It’s incredibly well done, beautifully drawn, and the plot is super
intriguing. The premise alone – looking at a world where all men/male animals have
been wiped out – is mind boggling, and offers an interesting view of gender
dynamics. I highly recommend checking out this series!
