This short, brutal novel hit me harder than I expected. Set in Brazil, in a remote penal colony where prisoners are released only to be hunted, it‘s stark and unsentimental, yet gripping. Maia writes violence without glorifying it. The bleakness is heavy, but the sharp writing kept me fully absorbed. So I am with you, Helen and Sarah!

This has become my favourite Emily Henry novel. I say that with each one i read, but i don't see anything topping this one. I chose it this morning as my holiday read, since it's a stat holiday here, and I'm done. I just had to get to the end. I wish I could go back and read it again, for the first time. #34-2025

This book is about the bomb in Halifax, NS in 1917. About two woman who struggle with life after

Another epic tale that was full of action, drama, and smut. Too smutty for me, I skipped through those scenes after the first one. This was the story Nesta needed and deserved. I loved the Valkyries and their bond. Book #34 in 2025

I really enjoyed this one. Couldn‘t put it down at times.

Late to post my #Roll100 books for July & all 3 rolls were “anys” so I ended up with:

#34: “Any Bridgerton” (Love the show, haven‘t read the books but ordered the #OnceUponABookClub boxes a few years ago so I put them on my list & I‘m starting with the first book.)🤷🏻‍♀️

#3: “Any BOTM” & as I can‘t seem to get this read without a nudge, it‘s going to be Just For the Summer.

#66: “Any Library Book” & my e-book hold came in for The Art Thief.

July's #roll100 rolls!

Roll 1 = 34
Roll 2 = 3
Roll 3 = 66

I've been away from my dice recently so I've decided to open up submissions and show case other people's pretty dies.

If you want to submit a picture, roll a d100 and d10 and then you can upload the photo to Google Form: https://forms.gle/Mnp48DPHgHpRJeip9

I'll use this alongside my own stuff. So if you have some dice you want to show off, start rolling!

I'm such a Lisa Gardner fan, her books to me are a great addition to my many read books. She hasn't failed me yet as a writer.

Second of the trilogy and I'm not disappointed yet. There are things I wish I could "fix" in the story, somw things that just happen too quickly with no explanation or build up, but part of the reason I'm enjoying the series is that it's not really deep, so I can't really ask for more details. I'm happily on to the third book now. #34-2024
