Do you like picking up new books, or do you prefer to focus on reading older books? I like both – I love reading new authors, but I feel like I missed so many great books that have been released before. It will take me a lifetime to catch up! This week is taking us to new places with two new releases, but we have an older release, too.
Here’s the books I’m looking forward to discussing with you this week. Grab your copies of these books by clicking the images below:

Tom Clancy Act of Defiance
by Brian Andrews & Jeffrey Wilson

If you’ve followed along with the site long, you’ll know I love Jack Ryan books! This is no different even though it focuses on both Jack and his children. In a case of deja vu, this book sees the Ryans tracking a missing submarine with so many connections to the Red October.
