This was a really good read and had me hooked from the start. I also liked the little posts dotted through the story. It added an extra modern layer to the story. The plot was clever and twisy along the way. The ending was well written and I liked how it all came together. This also touches on the case of Suzy Lamplugh and you can see some similarities but this is its own story. Rosie is instantly likeable. #Netgalley 4*

The Only One Who Knows: A Novel | Lisa M. Matlin

pick

Matlin has become a must read author for me. This grabbed me from the first chapter and I was fully invested in Minnows arc. I love Jaws, shark week, all things
"shark" and this book found a way to make a completely unique thriller with sharks playing a central theme. Highly recommend you pick up this book.
Thanks to #netgalley and #bantambooks for this ARC in return for my honest feedback. Book 34 of 2025

Erinreadsthebooks That‘s a fun cover 🤩 24h

When People Were Things: Harriet Beecher Stowe, Abraham Lincoln, and the Emancipation Proclamation | Lisa Waller Rogers

pick

Lisa Waller Rogers wrote a wonderful book of American history. When PeopleWere Things shows us the true history of those who fought for the end of slavery. Harriet Beecher Stowe was a Christian woman who wanted to see the abolishment of slavery in the US as did Abe Lincoln. They & MANY others fought for this because they believed it‘s what God intended for us all & what the Declaration of Independence intended as well.

Definitely Maybe Not a Detective: A Novel | Sarah Fox

pick

I enjoyed this book. It made me laugh and cry. Emerson is raising her niece after her brother passed away from cancer. That got me bc my brother passed away from cancer in August, so I felt a connection with the FMC. Emerson's best friend makes up a dectective agency to try to scare Emerson's ex. It ends up with people believing the agency is real and Emerson works for it.

The cast of characters were fun. I did have a problem with Fox⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read always telling how hot Wyatt and Bodie were. You told me once, I didn't need to hear it 20 times. (I'm not sure it was that many, but it was a lot!) I liked the humor in it, and rolled during the car ride with the senior citizens.

Tentative Publication Date: Jan 6, 2026

😊 Happy Reading 😊

I've joined #Roll100 for 2026. I'm using this list to focus on working down series that I need to continue or abandon, #AardvarkBookClub and #BOTM books that need to be read or passed on, and my #Netgalley backlog of books that need to be read and reviewed.

This is the year to get my TBR and physical books down to less overwhelming levels.

@PuddleJumper

PuddleJumper That sounds like a great plan! Hope this is helpful 3d
