pickWhat a book! You have an estranged daughter, a dad losing his mind to Lewy body dementia, and if that's not enough, a cold case! Clark writes in a way that drags you into the book right beside her characters.

so-soHonestly, I don‘t quite know how to feel about this book which is why I gave it 3 stars.
This book started off so slow. It took me a while to get into it. It just felt like the story was meandering and that made it boring.
By the second half it got more exciting and it low key got a little horny, which I typically don‘t mind but in this case it felt random.

pickI gave The Present Darkness a 5 star read, but the second and final book in this 2 book series was so much better. The salvation of Sally Roe made me cry. It took me a few chapters to really get into this one, but once I was into it, I didn't want to stop reading. I will definitely be reading more books by Frank E Peretti in the future. I highly recommend The Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness to all readers, especially Christian.
pickThis is a must read. It is so interesting.

I have no idea why it took me so long to read this book. I guess I have too many books I want to read. If you have been thinking about reading this book, start it today! I loved Vera Wong. She cracked me up. The things she said sounded so much like my grandma (though I'm not Chinese). I loved how the other characters came to love her and how they became a family. I was surprised by the culprit. I will definitely continue this series.
Up next on audio..my Libby hold *finally* came in!

pickReally cute! Probably could‘ve been a little shorter but it was a fun read!
#bookspinbingo - this is my #bookspin for this month!
A married couple adjusts to being back together after the reporter husband does a short stint in prison for refusing to identify a source. The story is mostly vibes, and pretty dated ones, although the political elements aren't: he's committed to free speech as a child of Hungarian immigrants. But it's mostly about the relationship, and though I usually love how LL writes them, this came off as too purple. A soft pick.

pickSeveral people recommended this to me. It was a fun cozy mystery. Tea shop, murder, family (deprioritized and found) and a quirky cast of characters.
I have book 2 on hold. 🤓

pickDelightful! 5 years after the events of the 1st book, Patrick takes his niece and nephew, Maisie and Grant, on a trip abroad. The final destination is Italy, where their father is getting remarried, but the kids want Patrick to stop the wedding. On the trip, Patrick tries to teach the kids about love, much like he taught them about grief in the 1st book, in the hopes that they will accept this new life change.
