I Dreamed of Falling | 
I participated in my second author event at The Back Room hosted by Hank Phillipi Ryan and Karen Dionne. There were fascinating and stimulating conversations among authors Lauren Ling Brown, Julia Dahl, Mindy Mejia, and Beatriz Williams. I wrote about my experience on my blog.

Happy Publication Day to this book! I‘m not finished with it today. I haven‘t read any of it today. I haven‘t decided yet if I‘m going to DNF it or not because I‘m not liking the characters in it.
so-soSet in a small NY town, this is part mystery, part family drama & hard look at post-pandemic life. The book opens with the discovery of 25 year old Ashley‘s body. Her reporter boyfriend & father of her child, set his larger ambitions aside for their family. His mother & his son‘s primary caregiver, has her own worries made worse by her own fears of illness & hopes for redemption. Uneven pacing, & some predictable turns, but still gripping overall!
I decided to start this book instead of The Money Trap. This Netgalley ARC is coming out September 17 and so is the other Netgalley ARC The Money Trap but I figured that maybe this one would be a quick read. I don‘t know if I‘ll get finished today or if I‘ll end up bailing on this book. I definitely won‘t be able to start and finish The Money Trap on Sept 17. I don‘t know if I like this book or not. I don‘t really like the characters that much.
Yay! I was approved for another ARC to read this Fall. I‘m now up to 10 ARCs. I‘m going to be overwhelmed in the Fall with all the ARCs I have to read but at this point, I don‘t care because it‘s Summer and I‘m going to read whatever I want to read while I can.
