What a fun read!!

The characters are delightful except for one who likes to cause all kinds of trouble.

Find out the secret of Leta Pearl‘s biscuits in this sweet read that has you riding through some drama and Southern charm, but for the most part you will be laughing.

Thank you to the publisher and Books Forward for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

A well-planned vacation for Good Samaritans Tom and Alice turned out to be a nightmare.

They felt sorry for the hitchhikers and welcomed them to ride along with them.

That was the biggest mistake of their life.

This is another edge-of-your-seat, very tense read by Chevy Stevens.

Fans of Chevy Stevens and thrillers do not want to miss this one. 5/5

Others say that an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

But this fall, in an adorable second installment, Japanese novelist Syou Ishida reminds us (once again!) that a cat is the purr-fect remedy for a troubled soul.

And of course, two cats are better than one.”

TODDAY‘S PROMPT: WHAT‘S FOR DINNER

I am making pasta with chicken, tomatoes, onions, peppers, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil.

It‘s the 1920s, and we meet Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Morris Markey, and Joseph Elwell.

We know Scott and Zelda, but learn about Morris and Joseph in this meticulously researched book by Ms. Fredericks.

Morris and Joseph were murdered in real life and Ms. Fredericks uses both men as the basis for her book with this gorgeous cover. 5/5

Jenna, Kaitlyn, and Lauren play games of dare with rules they have to follow.

The unbelievability of it makes you not able to put it down because they leave little nuggets that make you curious.

TAHOE SPEED is as always an intriguing, tension-filled read and another Todd Borg masterful plot.
