What I'm Reading: Stacking the Shelves - May 23, 2015

I am linking up with Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga's Reviews! 

I love books of all kind.  I read both e-books and REAL books!  This week I re-joined Kindle Unlimited.  You can "check out" up to 10 books at a time and keep them as long as you want.  It is $9.99 per month.  So this week I will be sharing the books I stocked up on for my Kindle.

I watched the first episode of "Wayward Pines" and thought it was pretty good.  I saw there is a trilogy so I picked up the first book.

Wayward Pines, book one 

Twisted by Andrew Kaufman - Dr. Christopher Kellan spends his days at Loveland Psychiatric Hospital, overseeing a unit known as Alpha Twelve, home to the most deranged and psychotic killers imaginable. His newest patient, Donny Ray Smith, is accused of murdering ten young girls and making their bodies disappear.

The Giver by Louis Lowry - The Giver, the 1994 Newbery Medal winner, has become one of the most influential novels of our time. The haunting story centers on twelve-year-old Jonas, who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community.

What She Left Behind by Ellen Marie Wiseman - Ten years ago, Izzy Stone's mother fatally shot her father while he slept. Devastated by her mother's apparent insanity, Izzy, now seventeen, refuses to visit her in prison. But her new foster parents, employees at the local museum, have enlisted Izzy's help in cataloging items at a long-shuttered state asylum. There, amid piles of abandoned belongings, Izzy discovers a stack of unopened letters, a decades-old journal, and a window into her own past.

The Lady and the Mountain Doctor by Misty Beller - I am a SUCKER for these types of books!  Love them!  Miriam Bryant has always dreamed of leaving the never-ending work of her family's remote mountain ranch to travel abroad as a genteel lady. She's thrilled when the opportunity finally arises, but a gruesome hunting accident crushes her plans, leaving her stranded for weeks in a mining town.
