#WIN IT | The Girl on the Train Giveaway

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:

1) Leave a comment below telling me your top book recommendation right now (your fav book, book you just read and loved etc. )

4) Open to residents of Canada only.

GOOD LUCK! XX

Searching for the Sound by Phil Lesh, and Diary of a Mad Woman by Joan Rivers. A very strange combination of autobiographies And I'm clearly in a reading slump.

I really loved Gone Girl

I just finished 'Bad Feminist' by Roxane Gay and loved every page! She is such a witty, raw, insightful individual, and planted so many ideas in my brain.

I've been wanting to read "The Girl on the Train" for a few weeks! The premise sounds so alluring, and I love a good Gone Girl-esque page turner.

Thanks for hosting the giveaway :)
