pickThis is very interesting. The author incorporates items from indigenous Caribbean culture into a story about classism post slavery. Sort of. But it's also heavy fantasy.

pickLoved this debut, even though I was over Ruth‘s naïveté at about 75%. Not mad about it, since the author was that good at depicting the unbalance of the power dynamics in the friendship.
The RI setting was also a high point for me. And the cover ?
Read this!

Out today! #arc
pickMaisie‘s world is turned upside down when her mom says they are moving to Maryland to take care of a sick, distant great-aunt. Things only get more confusing when her new cell phone starts receiving mysterious texts.
This was adorable! Maisie really reads as 12 years old, but she was such a plucky protagonist who cared about her family so much. No idea how the magic/science of time travel works, & I honestly don‘t care. Loved this! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

I‘m trying to catch up on my reviews for June 🤦🏻♀️ & this book (the 21st in the Bakeshop Mystery series) was my June pick for #FictionalTraveler #APlaceYoudLikeToVisit (it‘s set in Costa Rico) & it was also a June #Roll100 pick: Any Mystery & an #ARC from the publisher.
An enjoyable entry into the series with Jules & Carlos going to Costa Rica to visit a former colleague‘s family coffee plantation & taking Andy ⬇️
I am VERY excited to get this #arc 😍
Yay #netgalley!!!
so-soHere‘s my review for this book I just finished reading for The Smuthood PR. This book is not in the Litsy database. This book was published on July 15, 2025.

so-soThis book was enjoyable for the most part, until it became aimless and I just wanted it to end.
We follow Allison, who is still dealing with the grief of losing her brother and gets into a relationship with her Dad‘s favorite radio host.
I feel that this would‘ve worked better as a short story, the author is a good storyteller but it just didn‘t work for me as a novel. #arc

High Season is a book that deals with a death that occurred 20 years ago. Nina Drayton's sister, Tam, was killed. Nina, at age 6, was the star witness. She said she saw Josie Jackson, her babysitter, kill her. Don't worry, I'm not spoiling anything 😊 The reader gets this info in the first chapter. The question you have to ask yourself is: Is a child 6 years old a good witness?
The book is divided into 4 parts and flips back and ⬇️
pickHere‘s my review. I forgot to mention that this book has a playlist and I really liked that. The song I‘m choosing for this book because it‘s on the playlist is You Look Like You Love Me by Ella Langley and Riley Green. It‘s a really cute song.
