⭐️⭐️⭐️: This was awesome to listen to on audio. Pa‘s fiddle really added to the story. #AudiobookPick #Childrens #Classics

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: This doesn‘t read like your standard King novel at all. For me that‘s what made this one so readable. Pick this one up! #Tome #TimeTravel #AlternateHistory

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: This was such a treat. Journeyed down the rabbit hole in this bizarre tale. Completely enjoyable.

⭐️: Hard Pass. These characters should have dazzled and delighted and instead I was deeply bored.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: I had seen the movie, and this is my first Wolitzer. Her writing just swept me away. Really enjoyed revisiting this story in book form. #BookToFilm

⭐️⭐️: This book!! While it may have been groundbreaking in its time, it has not held up well. What was the point?

⭐️⭐️⭐️: Solid read, but hard to believe these characters were so mature.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: such dreamy, beautiful writing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: Loved this deep dive into my all time favorite TV show. It was so nice to revisit these characters.

⭐️⭐️: Least favorite of Jewell‘s so far

⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: Finally got this one!! Now I can catch up on the series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2: I loved this book. It was snarky, and had a good plot. I was interested and as a reader how could I not relate? 📚📖

⭐️⭐️⭐️: I‘m a die hard Bachelor Nation fan! This book was surprisingly nothing to write home about. Most of the secrets she‘s spills are already out there. She also comes off a tad bit of a bitter Betty.

⭐️⭐️: This was super boring.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was an odd book. It was an adorable picador modern classic edition which was tiny and for in the palm of my hand. The story of the Lisbon sisters was strange and like looking into a thick coke bottle. Still not sure what to make of it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2: I really enjoyed this. I listened to the audio version, which is read by the author. The actual book had pictures and footnotes that I enjoyed combing through.

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2: Thus was a delightful snack! I loved the snark and relationship between Alexa & Drew. Light enough for a summer read yet enough meat to keep me interested.

⭐️⭐️⭐️: This started out strong and then got a little dry and boring in parts. The ending was solid, just needed to up the excitement for the middle chunk.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: This was pretty good. Complicated familial relationships and a suicide that could be a murder? Sign me up!!

⭐️⭐️: I love WWII historical fiction so this should‘ve been a slam dunk. I didn‘t like this one, it slogged along and created characters that I struggled to connect with.

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2: This was a great story and SUPER steamy! I think I‘m still blushing. Really enjoyed the relationship between Stella Lane (great name!) and Michael.

⭐️⭐️⭐️: meh— was a bit bored with the middle and damn, could the author throw any more plot devices at this novel?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: A book EVERYBODY must read. A little lengthy in parts but one that captured my heart in a way that cannot be described.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: I am just loving JJ on audio! She is a gifted narrator and her books are so fun! Three generations of Slocumb women have their challenges, and I can‘t get enough. Perfect for summer. ☀️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: Paul is a 36 year old neurosurgeon with stage four lung cancer. If you can hang, read this book. It‘s a hard book if you‘re hurting from cancer.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: Britt-Marie was endearing and a pinch neurotic. Back man sure knows how to create a feast of characters and can make a boring town interesting.

⭐️⭐️⭐️: Non Fiction about a messed up love story, erectile dysfunction and arson.

⭐️⭐️: Loved the first and last 50 pages or so, but this was such a mess. Way too many characters and that ending was worthless.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: This is a slow burn murder mystery that had me flipping the pages so quickly. Perfect for hot summer days. 🥶🤕👀👮🏻‍♂️🐕❄️🌫🚨

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2: Good family drama, four siblings reminded me a bit of the Immortalists. Good, not great.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2: I‘m in the minority on this one but didn‘t love it as much as I had hoped. Still love me some Jane Harper though. ☀️☄️🔥🏜

⭐️⭐️⭐️: Dog placement makes me crack up 😂🤣 This was good but not great.

⭐️⭐️⭐️: I‘m slowly working through Lisa Jewell‘s backlist, she‘s quickly becoming a go-to author.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: Based on a true story of Pino Lella- an Italian young man who rescued Refugees out during the height of WW2 and drives around the top general under Hitler. I don‘t believe everything as the author write this as historical fiction, so have to just go with it for what it is.

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2: Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum...
What an adventure- long John Silver and Captain Flint- his feathered friend. Young Jim Hawkins saves the day and now has a tale he won‘t soon forget.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: debut novel that was beautifully written, hard to follow at times and strangely left me needing answers.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: First 5 Star read of the year!! Go read this— it‘s painful, heartbreaking and truly unbelievable. 👩🏼‍🎓⛰📓❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️: The premise for this one was immediately intriguing, but mostly found this book falling a bit flat. I had a hard time connecting with the characters.

⭐️⭐️⭐️: Great on audio- narrated by the author. The story itself kept me interested but had a lot going on. Hard to keep everything straight at times, but I‘ll continue to pick up more from JJ.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: This book was so much more interesting than I thought it would be. The writing is incredible and looking forward to picking up more from this author.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: I really love this author— read on The Island and this is my second and did not disappoint. 🥰👱🏼‍♀️🤵🏽♟🧩🏙❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️: Creepy and a huge dose of noir before that was even a thing. So glad to finally cross this off the to read list. 🧪🔬🧫🔎

⭐️⭐️⭐️: loved this second installment in this series. Didn‘t find it as charming as book 1, but enough to continue on in the series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️: Really interesting perspective on how Susannah‘s life was turned upside down with a genetic autoimmune disease.

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2: I believe I‘m the outlier here but wanted to love this so much more than I did and can‘t quite tell you why. Writing was gorgeous and I loved the characters and the nature elements, and even appreciated the ending. 🤷🏼‍♀️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: Not sure how this one escaped me for so long but it was tremendously entertaining and still very accessible today.

⭐️⭐️⭐️: Hard to read at times but the drama kept me reading.
