Mexican Gothic | Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Pickpick

I bought this from #BOTM on a whim and ended up really enjoying it...set in the 1950s, with a spunky main character, a creepy old house, and a family full of dark secrets. The truth about the house and family ended up being a touch weird and beyond twisted but I couldn't put it down.

Hopefully this light read will counteract the heavy heat going on in Upstate NY right now. I would like to stick my head in the freezer for the afternoon! 😂

Nerdy_Bookworm I also live in Upstate NY! My solution to the heat is to stand in a shower so cold it can cause hypothermia, for hours lol. I'm literally always found just standing in the shower lol. 4y

The Broken Girls | Simone St James

An old girl's school haunted by murder and sadness. The main characters from the present and (especially) the past were interesting and engaging. Loved it...even more than The Sun Down Motel. I will definitely be reading any of St. James' future offerings!

My Mother gave me a tablet she doesn't use and I downloaded my Nook app to it. My Nook broke about 4 years ago, so it was interesting to see what is still on that TBR. 😂 This one, a pandemic novel seemed like the appropriate choice for today.

Untamed | Glennon Doyle

The message of this book was something I really needed to hear at this moment. I liked Glennon's writing style...short "essays" that had a cohesive string running throughout. Glennon is currently married to Abby Wambach...a soccer star from my current city, Rochester, NY. I highly recommend following them on your social medias like I do. Their relationship is an inspiration for living your best untamed life!

LiteraryinLawrence I had heard a lot about this book but somehow I never connected the dots about who the author is! Thanks for that! 4y

A Good Marriage | Kimberly McCreight

"Then time passes. You both change too much. You stay too much the same. The truth worms its way out, and the horizon grows dark. Eventually all your left with is somebody who sees you for who you really are. And sooner or later, they hold up a mirror and you're forced to see for yourself. And who the hell can live with that? So you do what you can to survive. You start looking for a fresh pair of eyes."
Quick, twisty read!

I actually chose a book this month even though none of the selections really grabbed me just so I could get The Sun Down Motel as an add-on! Excited to start it next!

Julsmarshall It‘s so good! 4y
