I've resolved to get back to reading for pleasure this year and so far, I've stuck with my commitment. Not only have I joined a book club with friends who prefer pinot over pressure, but I've taken the pressure off myself, too. I used to feel like I had to read the 'right' books - the heavy ones, the classics, the award-winners. But when life gets hectic and a vacay feels like ages away, a page-turning beach read always makes for a great escape.
Indigo sent me a copy of the most talked-about book of the year The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins and I just finished reading it. Have you had the chance to pick it up yet? Everyone (like everyone) is buzzing about this book right now and it's already being touted as the Gone Girl of 2015. It's a thriller full of messed up, complicated characters, neighbours whose lives you think you know but really don't, and a page-turning plot that keeps you guessing right until the end. I won't review the book because I don't want to give anything away (and because it's Friday so I don't feel like writing a book review) but I can tell you this book is totally worth picking up, book club or not.
Now here's the best part - my friends at Indigo are giving away 3 COPIES of The Girl on the Train to 3 lucky RLR readers! Here's how you can win your own copy:

On my reading list is All the light we cannot see by Anothony Doerr
Loved Eleanor & Park.
Still Alice is an amazing read, touches your heart strings and is educating every reader about Alzheimer disease and early onset Alzheimer disease.
Would def recommend Station Eleven. A fantastic read!
The last book I really loved was Wicked Girls by Alex Marwood. It's started off a little slow for me but then I just got so into it and I loved that I never really knew where it was going to go.
As part of our book club i read YES PLEASE... As you say an escape is great and this book was PERFECT for that:)
I just finished reading Jodi Picoult's "Leaving Time" - great book! Thanks for the chance to win!
