When I started the year of reading and gave myself a goal of the number of books I was hoping to read, I was very conservative. I thought one a month was realistic. So my goal was 12. Half way through the year and I am already at 19.
I just finished the Linwood Barclay thriller "A Noise Downstairs". I promised I was going to move on to book two of "I Am Not Met" which is "I Am Me". But I'm not ready. I think after some deep reading, and then a thriller, I'm ready for a romance.
So Lori Foster it is.
The review for "A Noise Downstairs" will come tomorrow... or maybe tonight." (I always finish books late at night because that's when I do most of my reading).
Honestly... I should be working on my novel, shouldn't I? I did once this week - 3 chapters. But I am easily discouraged. Hopefully I'll get back to it before the week is out.

There are hundreds of books entitled "Never Look Back". Linwood Barclay has a book called "Never Look Away" which I have indeed read.
Of Note, when I want to title my book I would research it to see if there are other books with that title. I want my title to stand out not be one of hundreds of others with the same title.

@JudyEv Because I do most of my reading at night, I will check the next chapter to see how long it is to see if I can read another one before going to bed. Needless to say books with short chapters keep me up pretty late. But throwing a long chapter in the middle of a book helps me to find a stopping point.

Does reading novels helped you in writing your book? I hope you finalize your book for publishing.
