Loving this new-to-me author. It‘s basically intellectual catnip. Every book has some kind of erudite theme - art, Egyptology, architecture, etc. Always feature interesting characters and some kind of mystery element. Slight romance but not main feature. I‘ve been diving into her backlist and have not had a miss yet. Highly recommended!

Kshakal I love everything I have read by her! 4d

annahenke @Kshakal omg same! The Stolen Queen is probs my fave so far though 4d

Caroline2 Oh thanks for the recommendation. I love a good historical fiction story. I‘ll check her out. 👍 4d

Kshakal @annahenke that one is on my list for this summer!! 4d

bookandbedandtea @TheAromaofBooks I REALLY enjoyed First Lie Wins... great pick! 1w

TheAromaofBooks It's so funny because the first book I read by that author was 10 Blind Dates with is an adorable little YA romcom, so kind of literally the opposite of First Lie Wins 😂 1w

bookandbedandtea @TheAromaofBooks 10 Blind Dates sounds cute, but yes, soooo different from First Lie Wins! 1w

Jerdencon @TheAromaofBooks glad they made it there! @bookandbedandtea you‘re books arrived yesterday safe and sound! 1w

Loved the premise of this book, but thought it could have been more. A pick, but a low pick.

AmyG Same. I was hoping for more, too. 4w

Bookwormjillk @AmyG I think I might have liked it more if I wasn‘t going in with such high expectations. 4w

AmyG Same again. I absolutely loved Leave the World Behind…so I was very excited for this one. 4w

BarbaraBB I felt this way about Leave the World Behind so am in no hurry to read this one. 4w

Anita de Monte Laughs Last: A Novel | Xochitl Gonzalez

pick

This was a fun book to read. Anita, an upstarting immigrant artist, is over shadowed by her jealous white husband artist. I wanted to see more of Anita and how she interacted with Jack, and their peers. Raquel‘s later timeline felt disjointed, even as it felt similar. So there‘s that. It built up to connect, though it never really felt it did. Anita is petty against Jack and I‘m all here for it. The ending felt rushed; little off character.

Three Canandian college friends take a trip to New York City. Their adventures are expressive and so much that happens in this book feels urgent like it burns too hot too fast. I love the character and page designs, especially their trip to the museum. The ending felt like falling flat on my face.

The Power Broker | Robert A. Caro

pick

3 months and 1,162 pages later, I‘m finally done with The Power Broker! Totally lives up to its reputation as one of the greatest biographies of all time. Caro‘s meticulous attention to detail and captivating narrative style make this a true epic. Grateful to have learned so much about the political history & urban geography of the city I now call home. 🌟5/5🌟

Sun Trap | Rachel Wolf

An entertaining thrill ride from the start, this was an enjoyable read. Sun Trap follows a Hollywood movie crew to the Abu Dhabi desert, where the filmmaking gets deadly. This is one of the books with constant action. I was invested in the story although I did not feel connected to the characters at all. Especially after the half way mark there was twist after twist after twist. Also, is this not one of the most gorgeous covers you've ever seen?

Yuki_Onna Thank you, Netgalley and Aria & Aries, for the chance to read a copy in exchange for an honest review!
