panI went into this one with such high expectations after loving the author‘s first novel. Unfortunately, I struggled with the story.
Too many POVs and backstories made it hard for me to keep everyone‘s story straight. It also made the book too long and all I kept wishing was for the story to end.
Will keep reading this author in the future, this one just didn‘t work for me.

so-soA series of short stories examining loss, grief, & queer existence.
Such an interesting collection! A variety of genres, all ranging in tone from a slight edge of unease to outright horror. Olguín has a remarkable ability to make me feel on edge throughout each story. There were a couple that felt too unresolved. And a couple I didn‘t like. But the last two stories were remarkable. Would make a great audiobook.?????

I was lucky to get an #audiobook ARC for the 12th Lady Hardcastle Mystery, Pub Day 6th May.
Do I read the books for the cosy mystery? No. I'm here for all the characters and the banter, especially between Maid Florence Armstrong and Lady Hardcastle. I was absolutely not disappointed. Loved every minute of the story and the audiobook!

pickA coming of age story set against the backdrop of the Honduran presidential election of 2017, this book focuses on the Morazán family, primarily Libertad as she turns 18, explores her sexuality, &expresses herself through poetry on an anonymous Instagram acct. We also get glimpses into her older brother, Maynor‘s, life as a budding activist &their family dynamic. I found this YA novel to be revelatory, enlightening, &at times heartbreaking.

pickI loved this one so much! Set in Georgia in the 1960‘s, Doris is a very religious teen who needs to have an abortion and turns to her favorite teacher for help. The duo embark on a weekend trip to Atlanta for the procedure, which gets delayed. While waiting, Doris meets a cast of characters who completely change her worldview and broaden her life choices.
Definitely a favorite read this year!

pickA quick paced, flirty workplace rom-com that features (my favorite) enemies-to-lovers trope. I enjoyed how it tackled diversity and being a woman in corporate America, balancing out the seriousness of that with the fun and sexy dynamic of the romance. Tris and Rafe were amazing characters, and I especially liked the female friendships featured here.

pickIn true Kevin Wilson style, this book deals with dysfunctional families. A group of strangers who discover they share the same father set out on a road trip to find their dad.
Although this isn't my favorite by him, it was still a good read. At times, scenarios felt too easily resolved, but I enjoyed seeing the relationships between the characters grow as the story progressed.
