(QAIT) It's nice to dive into a book!

I've done some reading this summer, but everything was very busy. I don't really remember what I read anymore. Except for one book that I picked up after we finally settled on a house and knew where we'd live! Once that stress was sorted out, I felt more able to concentrate on a book. I think I picked the best book to get lost in! :D
I read "The Thirteenth Tale" that is quoted in the header of this blog. And wow, what a fascinatingly strange story! I ADORED the plot twists, particularly the one at the last third of the book-- when I read the pivotal, shocking words, I gasped! I got goosebumps! I breathed "whoa! No way!" and at the same time, I felt like I KNEW that was how the plot had to go. That was a pretty awesome moment.
That's when I really, really appreciate the skill of an author. Books like that are so exciting!
Before moving on from it, I'm going to read it to Michael. I can't just hand it over and let him read to himself...I have to watch him discover it, and I'm eager to read it again knowing what I know....

But when I do move on to another book, does anyone have a suggestion? Is there a book that is maybe close to thrilling like that? I know there is somewhere out there...
