Just got this #NetGalley #ARC for this #April2026 #RandomHouse release! Seems right down my alley!
After surviving a stage-four cancer diagnosis, Kate Bowler knew she was supposed to be grateful. But still she ached for more connection, more surprise, less resentment on an ordinary day.
So she went looking for joy that sneaks in unexpectedly: A lemur sunbathing. A belly laugh at a funeral. A dive into the Atlantic with a shark wrangler.
pickThis really does take you on a journey to get to the truth but I enjoyed the ride. It jumps from past to present and from Laurel to Rosie but it also has the odd chapter by other characters. I like this style as it adds more depth to the story. THe plot is clever and filled with a few twists along the way. The ending was dark but very well written. You're never truly sure who to like or even trust in this #Netgalley 4*.

pickOn 13th Jan 1982 Washington, DC, was already in the midst of a snowstorm that was gridlocking the city when two devastating accidents occur. First, flight Air Florida 90 hits a road bridge jammed with traffic before crashing into the iced-over Potomac River. The few survivors are at high risk in the freezing waters as first responders, including a Park Police helicopter, try to rescue them in the worsening weather conditions. (continued)
pickThis was a really interesting and at times funny look at the various monarchs to rule. Each one has a section about them. Some longer than others of course. It does take a bit of following as many of the names are similar. I liked the drawings dotted through the book and the family trees which helped make sense of family lines. I did find King George 6's reign a tough and at at times sad read due to the war. #Netgalley 3*
so-soA mystery author‘s book signing is upended when the author mysteriously collapses. Lana puts her investigative skills to work when it turns out the author was murdered.
I love the settings for this series. The community is so lovely & works together so well. & the friendships Lana has are so fun. & while the mystery was predictable, all the suspects were set up well. Was less of a fan of Adam in this 1, but that might just be me.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

Sameera needs to save her career until she meets Tom, a cute chef with a successful business man for a best friend. He'll introduce Sameera if she'll pretend to date him to help his cooking videos get more views. It's a perfect plan, until their families find out and decide to celebrate a joint Christmas in Alaska, a first for Sameera's Muslim family.
I thought this was the perfect holiday rom-com.

pick3.5/5
Juliana and Eric are pretending to still be engaged while spending Christmas with Juliana's family, but as they fake their relationship, they start to see the possibility that their differences are something they can work through, not a deal-breaker.
