pickNot a “love” book but a like one. I‘m so impartial to everyone in the story and feel not invested in everyone but kind of Melody. But I‘m happy with the ending.

pickWhoa. I‘m unhappy to say all my suspicions turned to be true in this thriller. The title is perfect and a play on words and the book is creepy scary. Yara returns home to complete plans for her parents‘ anniversary party, but her asthma, allergies and anxiety always flare up when she goes home. Even worse this time she is assaulted by a woman who is murdered that night. Her search for truth just keeps turning up more twists and lies.
pickThe Latecomer is one of those #dysfunctionalfamily reads with few (maybe 2 out of the bunch) likable characters. I had the physical book, but mostly listened for Julia Whelan‘s expert narration on the audio which I recommend. A set of triplets (Brooklyn, Jewish, wealthy) grow up chaffing against each other until tragedy strikes and things take a turn right at the cusp of adulthood. The book switches gear and we get to know “the latecomer”. Pick!
The Lucky Ones by Liz Lawson was emotional, heartfelt story about a school shooting that takes place and how May and Zach both dealing with it in their own separate ways. This story is told in two alternate points of view. You have May who's twin brother died in the school shooting.

pickOverall I really enjoyed this novel about dysfunctional rich people. It was a lot more in depth than I expected— I thought more of the book would be what the last 1/3 was — so I might have cut a little of it. My main criticism is there was no explanation for why the triplets were so awful to each other. I wanted to toss a couple of them into the sea. I enjoyed this #AuldLangSpine pick from @Amiable
Not the prettiest picture but here are a few of the #AuldLangSpine choices I picked from @Amiable (there will be a couple more once my library holds come in). I think I‘ll start with the tagged book since it is due back first. Hellhound on His Trail is my copy, and it was quite an adventure to find it on my disorganized shelves!
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Twisty story of family dynamics and secrets over 40+ years, centered around three triplets who couldn‘t stand each other but whose relationships change when their much younger sister tries to piece together the family history she missed. I struggled a bit in the middle because the characters were so unlikeable, but several got much better with age and growth. Even when I didn‘t like them, I still had a hard time putting the book down.
pickReally enjoyed reading this over the past couple of days. Messy, dysfunctional family saga. Many twists and turns and unlikeable characters. A good read 👍🏻
Thanks Caroline 😘
Yep…..everyday.
