Books From the Backlog and Shelf Control #3
If it's Wednesday, it must be time to take a look at the books on my shelves - in an effort to try to actually READ some of these books, here's one that caught my eye.
Shelf Control and Books From the Backlog #3
Both of these memes target a particular problem of mine - reading books I already own. Like many of you, I'm sure, I can't stop adding to what I already own and my stacks grow while my pocketbook shrinks!
Shelf Control is hosted by Lisa at Bookshelf Fantasies. Every Wednesday you have the opportunity to peruse your shelves and share one that is STILL sitting there. Details here. I may not make it EVERY Wednesday, but I'm interested because my shelves are TOO full.
Books From the Backlog is hosted by Carole's Random Life and, similar to Shelf Control, it's about acknowledging and READING something I already own. Posted weekly on Thursdays, just visit the link, leave a link to your post about a book you have on your shelves that you'd like to read sooner rather than later.
I randomly picked a book from my bookshelf:
Damaged #4 Rosato by Lisa Scottoline
Genre: Mystery
Published 2016; 416 pages
from Goodreads:
One boy. One lawyer. One chance for justice.
Ten-year-old Patrick O'Brien is a natural target at school. Shy, dyslexic, and small for his age, he tries to hide his first-grade reading level from everyone: from his classmates, from the grandfather who cares for him, and from the teachers who are supposed to help him. But the real trouble begins when Patrick is accused of attacking a school aide. The aide promptly quits and sues the boy, his family, and the school district. Patrick's grandfather turns to the law firm of Rosato & DiNunzio for help and Mary DiNunzio is on the case.
Soon Mary becomes Patrick's true champion and his only hope for security and justice. But there is more to the story than meets the eye and Patrick might be more troubled than he seems. With twists at every turn and secrets about the family coming to light, Mary DiNunzio might have found the case that can make her a true protector, or break her heart...
I bought this book in January 2019 from the online discount site Book Outlet. I've read and enjoyed books by Scottoline so I can't quite figure out what's taking me so long on this one. I think I forgot I had it!
Hope you join the fun and share what's been lingering a LONG time on your shelves. Happy Reading.
