pickIt‘s been a long time since a book broke my heart so deeply. I know the people of Beartown & Hed will be with me forever. By the end of the book I had no words, only tears. The stories are filled w/heartbreak, but so is life. For me, experiencing my own tragedy, these books provided a solace that it‘s hard to explain. Isn‘t that the most beautiful thing that books can do? They make us feel connected to others even when we‘re lost in our own pain.
pickThe Farm, by Tom Rob Smith (2014)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Premise: A London man must sort out the truth when his father tells him his mother has had a psychotic break, but his mother insists she‘s being railroaded for uncovering unspeakable crimes.
Review: I don‘t read a lot of psychological thrillers, but this really worked for me. The author did a great job in setting up the story and added just enough to keep me guessing till the end. Cont.
pickThis historical mystery set in 1793 Sweden was utterly gripping, though very disturbing as well. I'd definitely recommend it if you can stomach graphic violence.

pickMorning snuggles and reading.
The cover and title made me pick this up used somewhere, and it‘s been on my shelf for some time.
It‘s a low pick, but I found it fun and silly. How often do you get to read a heist book with 5 retirees as the criminals? It looks like there are a few more in the series. While I won‘t rush out to get them, I‘d read more if I found them in a LFL or at a library sale.
People said Ove saw the world in black and white. But she was colour. All the colour he had.

I am loving this series so much! I think I liked this one better than the first one, which I didn't think possible. Can't wait for the final book!
I usually do not read books in a series, but being that there is a hockey team theme involved in these, I was immediately intrigued!!
Already had Beartown from my parents and today kicked off a new week on a high note completing the set with the second and third book!!
If I read these and the Empyrean series before the end of the year, I will have completed my first two series of books ever at almost 35 years old!!
