Interesting.

This was fantastic!! So many inspiring and thought provoking essays. I borrowed this from the library but will buy my own copy so I can go back to it over and over again.

I had the pleasure of meeting Nikki Erlick last week. She definitely comes up with interesting concepts for her books. I liked The Poppy Fields.

I really enjoyed this. The audio was great.

It was great and yes, I cried.

An atmospheric mystery. 3.5 stars

Read The Crucible to get ready to watch John Proctor is the Villain on Broadway.

This was lovely.

Another great addition to the series.

What other series by Kennedy Ryan should I read?

3.5 stars. Interesting story, but the dialogue just didn‘t work for me.

Another great romance by Ashley Herring Blake.

This is the second book I‘ve read by S.A. Cosby and I think it will be my last. Although it was suspenseful and fast paced, there is too much violence for me. The audio was well done.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance audio copy.

I really liked it. The opening line hit me hard.

If you‘re looking for a funny, inspiring memoir, listen to this one.

This was wonderful.
A novel in letters.

I really loved this book about first love, friendship and loss. Beautifully written and engaging.

Loved Audition!

This story pulled me in right away. It is about love, family and becoming your true self. Can‘t wait for more by this author!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

Another great book by Allison Larkin. It started out a bit slow but I ended up really caring for Freya and Aubrey who were treated so badly by their families. There is a lot of trauma but it is also hopeful.

I liked it!

This is not an easy book to read. There is a lot of trauma regarding sexual abuse. The book is divided into 4 parts that are loosely connected.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

This was a fast read, but the trauma after trauma made me disconnect with the book.

A tender story about mothers an daughters and the beauty and danger of nature. I highly recommend this book.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

Another great novel by Bryan Washington. I liked the description of Tokyo and the story of a mother and son.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

It was hard to only pick 4!

Wow is all I can say right now. I‘ll be thinking about this book for a long time.

This was funny, sweet and exactly what I want from a romance. I really liked learning more about making a podcast as well.

This was a quick read. Liked it, didn‘t love it.

This was so delightful. Great on audio.

I read this quickly, but ended up feeling it was a bit silly. 3 stars.

I really liked this one. Looking forward to her new book out this September.

An enjoyable cozy fantasy. The audio was excellent.

Another great book by Charlotte McConaghy. The audio production was excellent with several narrators. The description of the island was so vivid. I loved the characters and their growth. Highly recommend.

Lots of great advice

Great book

I didn‘t like it as much as The Berry Pickers, but still worth reading.

I did not know much about this book going in. It was not at all what I expected, but I loved it.

This wasn‘t for me. I thought it was predictable and didn‘t like the ghost aspect.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

Rube is traveling cross country to see his father who left him at a young age and who hasn‘t been in contact with him since. On his way he is picking up his siblings, all of which have been abandoned by their father, a man who is totally reinventing himself whenever he leaves. Kevin Wilson has once again written a book full of unique characters and I absolutely loved it.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy. Out May 13

A typical Katherine Center romance. I really enjoyed it. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

This was fun and juicy.

A solid historical fiction novel.

Loved it! Couldn‘t stop reading.

Absolutely loved this book about friendship,connections and art.
No one writes about heartbreaking moments with as much tenderness as Fredrik Backman does.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

Another great novel by Chimamamda Ngozi Adichie.
It‘s about 4 women, their struggles and joys. Highly recommend.
