I've had this ARC since ALA... A young girl in 1950s Ireland is lauded as a miracle, as she has eaten nothing in four months, yet lives. Hoax? Religious miracle? A practical English nurse is sent to find out, and becomes entangled in the story herself. Different but a page turner for me!

It took me a bit to get going with the narrative voice and tone but Then I couldn't turn pages fast enough to find out what really happened when a teenage girl was brutally assaulted... and her memories of the night taken away.

Tore through this #BOTM pick this morning! Speedy suspense with a lot of twists, turns and unreliable narrators. Big fun! Thanks for the pick, @Liberty !

Unputdownable! I love a good survival story, and then coupled with "what happens after" and the twist of will-they-won't-they... I was hooked! Caution: do NOT read if you have a plane flight coming up! So good!

I found this charming, funny, sexy, speedy and satisfying! Perfect for a rainy morning!

Sounds like a sweet young adult summer romance novel... But it's so much more. Love, mental illness, family tensions, new friends, voices, and overcoming who you think you are, set against the Jersey boardwalk. Couldn't put it down... Great for older YAs!

Byrne is rapidly becoming one of my (not quite) Regency romance authors! Unique, so-not-cookie-cutter heroines, damaged and dangerous alpha males, spicy romance and a happy ending each time! I loved all three in this series - this one included! #biblioweekend

A tough read, but an important inclusion into the Holocaust genre, focusing on a set of twins that became part of Mengele's "zoo". The tone and language made this a slooooow read for me, and I struggled with getting through it, but I'm glad I did. #biblioweekend

Really, really sweet novel about gamers, gaming, geek love, and falling for someone you didn't expect. Though technically adult, this would also be a super LGBTQ young adult recommendation - sexy times are "off stage". Though I didn't understand every word as a nongamer, I was charmed. ??#biblioweekend

I've been a fan of the Monkeewrench novels since the beginning - so glad to get a new one! Another great mystery, mixing a mystery from the past with current-day murder. I recommend this whole series for anyone who likes quirky characters, technology, and crime solving in their novels. :-)

A great YA novel about finding yourself, love, your place in the world, the meaning of family and a touch of magic...

Readable, accessible and fast, but I always struggle when I don't have a character to root for, or any empathy for the characters at all! What a bunch of nutters! Loved the setting and the prose though!

Kept me guessing and guessing - a speedy and satisfying suspense novel!

This book ruined me for all other books for almost a week... I can't stop thinking about it. No words for how twisted and powerful and thought-provoking and amazing this dark, sad, hopeful story is..

Since Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life, I've waited for another quirky, wonderful AKR memoir. Charming, thought provoking, interactive and easily read in pieces or all at once. Love. :-)

This is my JAM! Chapters on my favorite 80s movies, laugh out loud funny writing, and some learning thrown in on marketing and movies today versus the 80s. Loved every chapter! Recommended if you are...if a certain age like me. :-)

Fresh and fun...especially if you are single and childless! ;-) If you dug The Assistants, you'll likely dig this!

Multigenerational, multi-voice, multicultural, totally absorbing women's fiction. A gem of a read!

Oh, I LOVED this. In modern times, a woman on the cusp of divorce goes home...and discovers the journals of her grandmother in 1924 Paris. Full of art, romance, longing, Parisian streets, family relations and love. And I loooooved it - a worthy follow up to her fantastic The Weird Sisters!

A modern retelling of Taming of the Shrew! Fast, funny and satisfying!

I love a Regency romance with humor, tension, romance, flawed characters, an original plot, sharp writing and dialogue, and a satisfying ending! I love Sarah MacLean's novels - highly recommended!

Speedy, varied, character-driven, alternating voices, suspenseful... satisfying! Recommended!

Not something I would normally grab but the reviews were merited - beautifully written and interesting...

I love books-in-the-mail days!

Marriage + bipolar disorder + family disfunction + the Hamptons = a strange summer. First half of the book was compelling and readable and engaging, but then... It felt like it got lost in trying to be spicy and edgy and highbrow. I wanted more development, more resolution. Super speedy beach read!

Protagonist Anna Pigeon is one of my longest standing literary friends, since her first appearance in Track of the Cat ('94). This latest, set in Acadia National Park, was a solid mystery (two, actually) but didn't feature enough of the park OR Anna! I think I still prefer her older titles...

This memoir read like fiction and was an absolute page turner! Hamilton details life with her first husband, who was diagnosed as bipolar during their marriage and turned her life upside down. Recommended!

I mean....it was fine. But in a week, I won't remember anything about this sort of bland mommy-lit novel...

Scottoline is always a solid bet... This stand-alone suspense novel features a pregnancy, tensions between a couple, a serial killer and secrets. I listened to the audiobook - good narrator!

Okay, the Mayflower quote. ? Enjoying "Eligible" so much so far!

Fast, funny, and filled with so many fabulous pop culture references! A totally satisfying read for a holiday weekend - take this one to the beach with you!

"Human knowledge is never contained in one person. It grows from the relationships we create between each other and the world, and still it is never complete."

Tried too hard to be a puzzle...and thus lost any emotional or empathetic connection for me. Eh.

Character driven, dense, atmospheric and perfect for a throwback read as it's set in 1959-1960...

Before I read "Grunt" (her newest!), it was time to hang out with the delightful, funny, footnote-filled yet informative Roach.

The right mix of emotional entanglements, spicy sex, danger and excitement, set in Regency-era society. I loved it!
