My first mystery book

Okay, I have been off the radar lately, but back in full gear. I picked up my first mystery book and it was In The Woods by Tana French. Okay, I'm a little behind on the best seller list but it was at my favorite resale shop! I have fallen in love with this book. It is great. I have NEVER really been a big fan of mysteries, but this has really been a great experience. One of those books where you love the characters, Detective Rob Ryan. The story begins with a mysterious murder/abduction (you don't really know) of 2 kids. Then the story picks up 20 years later with another gruesome murder. It's a must read if you love mysteries and a great starter for your first one. I'm on page 172. So far, so GREAT! What's on my nightstand? In the Woods and I'm a little embarrassed to admit and slowly drudging through, Twilight. Sorry to all those Twilight fans, but I'm just having the hardest time getting myself through it! Next on my list? The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks and The Book Thief (my son's high school's book club has it on their list of books to read this year!).

Tell me what you're reading - someone please!
