This is a tragic true crime story about Nathan Carman. It opens with him being found floating in the middle of the North Atlantic on a raft, but instead of this rescue becoming the end of his story, instead it is only the beginning. This book covers the suspicious death of Nathan's mom on that same boat, and the shooting death of grandfather.

Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A tremendously entertaining and complex fantasy with a dash of romance. Kenna is a skeptical and determined human who unexpectedly enters the world of the Fae while trying to save her best friend.

Thank you to #NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is such a sweet story about two lost souls finding love. Tamzir is an alien stranded on earth and Jennette is a human who has always felt a little out of place in her life, and also happens to be obsessed with aliens. Jennette makes friends with a group of people online and becomes close with Tamzir's alter ego.

A great fantasy novel. I loved Silla and her growth through the course of the story. The world building is great!

I haven‘t checked the bookspin yet, and here is my bingo card. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

I‘m a little late, but didn‘t check under the spoiler tags, so here is my #bookspin list. Thanks @TheAromaofBooks

A raw and powerful book about love and loss. Michelle details the complicated relationship she had with her mom and the devastation her mom‘s cancer diagnosis and death wrought in her life. As a half-Korean American, the loss of her mom unmoored her from a part of her life and heritage she was desperate to keep. Her growth and confidence that came over time was compelling to read.

A sweet and surprisingly heartfelt regency romance.

A great fantasy romance!

Yay for my February #readyourkindle choices. I‘ve had some of these on my kindle for a while. The #20 choice was a NetGalley read so I chose the one that is due soonest. Thanks @TheAromaofBooks

This nook really takes the average digital footprint and deconstructs how our online use is making us less happy. It reminded me to be more aware of my online usage and I‘ll take parts of this book to use in my own life.

Here‘s my #readyourkindle for February! Thanks @CBee for organizing!

I read all 4 of my #readyourkindle books this month! #readyourkindle @CBee

A great second book in the series.

This is a fantastic discussion about the intersection between being Jewish and being Black and the way the cultural landmarks of traditional food help define both. I‘m a huge fan of this author‘s work.

A great reminder about why romance books are so awesome! The book and cultural references are a little dated and white author centered but the underlying theme is still important!

Hey All, for those of you on #Netgalley, Katherine Center‘s New book is a “read now” choice.

Another great spooky thriller from Simone St. James! I loved the mid-90s setting!

It‘s time for the January 2025 #readyourkindle! Thanks again @CBee for organizing!

Super excited for both my #bookspin and #doublespin this month! Thanks as always to the @TheAromaofBooks

First book of the year! Another great book in the Chronicles of Elantra series.

Cutting it down to the wire, but here is my list for January‘s #readyourkindle @CBee

My top 10 reads of the year!

So my goal this year was to read 80 books (kindle, audio & physical) from my TBR. My one rule is it had to be purchased 2023 or earlier. This cut my unread books down by a third so I‘m going for it again this year! #readyourkindle and #bookspin were a big help in staying motivated. Thanks to @TheAromaofBooks & @CBee for organizing the challenges.

I can‘t believe 2025 is coming up! I had to scramble to update my bookspin list ahead of the new year. Thanks @TheAromaofBooks for organizing. #bookspin #bookspinbingo #doublespin #January2025

This was such a fun book! The leftover heroes from a massive and tragic battle must reunite for a wedding. They are all 10 years older but not all of them have grown wiser. I loved the very real way it takes on loss and trauma and the growth and struggles of the main characters while also providing a top notch story and fantasy world. Beatrice, Elowen & Clare are compelling and you root for them!

A fun and satisfying conclusion to this series! K.M. Shea really hits the spot sort of a half-cozy romance fantasy. (Not the tagged book)

Another great book in the Magiford series! I can‘t wait to see how Jade and Considine‘s story ends!

My bookish view today! (Actually reading “The Lies of Enemies and Allies” but it‘s not in the database. I love this author so much!

Erin French is the chef/owner of The Lost Kitchen and tells an An inspirational story about how she got there. She never gave up and the women in her circle supported her.

Just a little light reading on the flight to Cancun

I‘m heading to 5 days at the beach over Xmas/Hanukkah. What is the correct number of books to pack… somewhere between 1 and 7? But 7 is probably too many? 🤷🏼‍♀️

I usually love a friend to lovers books, but I got a little frustrated with the dynamic between Jasmine and Rahul and how long it took in their friendship before they really communicated.

An interesting thriller set in post-wwii Japan

An interesting thriller with a series of murders set against the backdrop of an impending wildfire.

A fun addition to the 5 Packs series and a great second chance romance!

My #readyourkindle list for December! Thanks @CBee for organizing!

A suspenseful True Crime books about the search for justice in a famous Alaskan murder case. I felt so much sympathy for the people affected by this tragedy, and was appalled by the way the police originally handled the case. ⤵️
