The Girl From Wudang was a very intriguing read and it‘s not typically a genre I would read but I‘m very glad I was given the opportunity to read this book. This book is sci-fi with a blend of martial arts and artificial intelligence. This book was so intriguing I just couldn‘t put it down. I definitely enjoyed it.

Thank you so much to the publisher, Tuttle, for sending me an advance reader copy of this book.

This was such a different kind of mystery novel and I loved it. This novel is set up like you are watching a true crime documentary. It includes interviews, newspaper articles, text messages and much more. This was such a fun read and I loved the format so much.

vonnie862 This book is on my wishlist! 1d
NikkiKey94 @vonnie862 I hope you get it soon! It‘s definitely worth the read! 1d

Reese‘s Book Club has yet to steer me wrong. I haven‘t read all of her picks but the ones I have read I have enjoyed. This was a mystery that has twist all along the way and I enjoyed every minute of it. This book had been on my radar since I heard about it before it was published and I couldn‘t wait to read it. I listened to the audiobook and it was very good.

A Brighter Flame was the Mother‘s Day box from OUABC and I‘m very glad I purchased it. This book was so beautiful and had such a beautiful meaning. I wish I would have read it sooner. Also, the gifts in this box were so amazing! I‘m so addicted to my OUABC boxes I don‘t think I could ever get rid of the subscription!

I really liked this book so much! I love the small town of Ocean Pines already and I fell in love with all of the characters. I definitely plan to read the other books in the series because I just enjoyed this one so much. The chemistry between Nova and Finn had me weak! This was such a good book.

It‘s been a while since I‘ve read a book from the Women‘s Murder Club series and I missed them so much. I love all of the characters and I always look forward to their cases and what‘s going on in their lives. As usual this one was a thrill ride and I enjoyed every page of it.

I enjoyed this book so much more than I thought I would. I don‘t usually read a lot of YA books but I decided to subscribe to the YA box from OUABC because they‘ve all sounded so good lately. This one was not a disappointment. I read it in one day because it just sucked me in and didn‘t let go. And the cover is gorgeous! This is definitely a time when I‘ve judged a book by its cover!

I can‘t believe it took me so long to read this book. This is the second book I‘ve read by these authors and I loved both of them so much. This was such a sweet love story and I devoured it.

I loved this book. I loved the characters of Jane and her partner Jimmy Cunniff. I really enjoyed their chemistry as partners and their love and care for each other. The story had so many twists and turns and had me guessing if I even knew what was going on. I would definitely be interested in more books featuring Jane Smith.

Thank you to Little, Brown for the free book! #JamesPattersonStreetTeam

This is the second Will Dean book I‘ve read and this one was just so thrilling and I couldn‘t put it down. While reading there were several times when I thought I knew what was going on and I was wrong every time. I just couldn‘t get enough. This book made me want to scream so many times. This is definitely one of my favorite books of the year. I received a copy of this book from Goodreads in exchange for an honest review!

I will never get tired of new characters from James Patterson. I really enjoyed this book. James Patterson is one of my must read authors and I always look forward to a new book from him. The two characters in this book, Veena Lion and Cooper Lamb, have such great chemistry and join together to solve the case. I would definitely be interested in more books about them!

I‘m not a big fan of fantasy but I did enjoy this one. It was a slow read for me probably just because I don‘t read fantasy so it took me a few weeks to read it. I would be interested in finding out what happens next so I hope there will be another book. I definitely plan on reading the Crave series by Tracy Wolff because I liked this one.

I think this is the first Shari Lapena book for me and it certainly won‘t be the last. I own several of her previous books and I‘m definitely going to bump them up in my TBR because I just sped through this one because I had to know what was going to happen next. It was so good and I couldn‘t get enough!

Private Moscow: (Private 15) | James Patterson, Adam Hamdy

I just love the Private series from James Patterson! This is book 15 and is co-written with Adam Hamdy. Every time I read one of the Private novels I just fall in love with the characters all over again. This one was a little heartbreaking but I devoured it. James Patterson is my all time favorite author and I can‘t wait to see what‘s in store for the Private family next.

ncayea I ❤James Patterson too. I couldn't get into this series. The last one I tried was Princess. But good for you!! I'm holding out for the new Women's Murder Club and Alex Cross. I should have it offered to me for swap in a month (it's the only willpower I have 🤣) 1mo

I had never heard of this book until my mom sent me the trailer to the show on Prime Video and I knew I had to read it before I watched. I finished this last night and this book was just so beautiful and heartbreaking at times. I‘m so very glad I read this book. It‘s one that will stick with you for awhile after you finish it.

I‘ve seen so many recommendations for this book and I decided to go ahead and take the plunge and I can‘t believe I waited so long! This book was just amazing.

When I started this book I was a little unsure about what I was getting into and it had a slow start for me but once it took off I couldn‘t put it down! This book had romance mixed with some mystery and secrets and I couldn‘t get enough! One thing I really love about Once Upon A Book Club is that I discover new authors and such great books! I really loved this one.

The thing that initially interested me about this book is that it is about a girl that auditions to be a Rockette and that fascinated me. What I didn‘t expect from this book was the mystery element. When a bomber strikes during a performance, Marion enlists the help of a new friend to try to identify the bomber. This book was so great and I love it! I definitely have to read more books by Fiona Davis.

This is the true story of three girls: Elissa, Alissa, and Alyssa. These three girls were labeled as troubled teens and they never stood a chance against addiction. This true story was absolutely heartbreaking as we follow their path into addiction and ultimately how they succumb to their addiction. I‘m not usually a nonfiction fan but this one really drew me in and didn‘t let go until I finished.

Like A Flip Turn is another beautifully written novel by Hannah Rae.

I would definitely recommend this book for parents of middle grade children because it was very fun!

I‘m not sure if I missed the message of this book or what but it just wasn‘t for me. This book was told in three parts: the wife, the husband, and the best friend. I felt like it was just petty stories about why the husband and best friend hated each other. I definitely don‘t think it was a bad book but it just wasn‘t for me but I‘m sure others will really like it!
