This meme is hosted by Should Be Reading.Happy Friday! My find for this week is Heads You Lose by Lisa Lutz and David Hayward. The premise is very interesting. The authors took turns writing chapters with no outline or ending in mind. Here is the Barnes and Noble description:
Meet Paul and Lacey Hansen: orphaned, pot-growing twentysomething siblings eking out a living in rural Northern California. When a headless corpse appears on their property, they can't exactly dial 911, so they move the body and wait for the police to find it. Instead, the corpse reappears, a few days riper . . . and an amateur sleuth is born. Make that two. When collaborators Lutz and Hayward (former romantic partners) start to disagree about how the story should unfold, the body count rises, victims and suspects alike develop surprising characteristics (meet Brandy Chester, the stripper with the Mensa IQ), and sibling rivalry reaches homicidal intensity. Think Adaptation crossed with Weeds. Will the authors solve the mystery without killing each other first?
I am really looking forward to reading this. What did you find?

This looks totally weird but totally awesome. I keep seeing it everywhere. Enjoy your reading!
I picked this one up from the library and have to admit that I just skimmed the text and read the back and forth between the authors, which I thought was the best part. I didn't review it though since I was only skimming.
Excellent post..Thanks for sharing this wonderful post.
