As a huge True Crime fan, I was psyched to read this book which was written with such disdain for The Defendant. The victims and their loved ones are the most important part of the story. I love how this book highlights this while also showing all the ways the media and the investigators can let the victims down.

No reading today, but it was my birthday and I celebrated by watching one of my favorite movies with my kids and having a delicious gluten free peanutbutter chocolate cookie!

Very excited for my #BOTM book-haul!

A bookstore opened in my town! Best day of 2023 hands down! A really good selection of books, diverse authors, solid sci-fi/fantasy, poetry and a lot of good romance authors mixed in with the fiction section. #shoplocal

Tonight‘s plans!

Look what came in the mail today! 😍

Next up! (Not in the Litsy database yet apparently)

I just loved this book. Katherine Center understand marriage and the work that goes into keeping the love alive. #romancy

A short vacation before school starts back up! #beach 😎

Waiting for my food to come out of the ovens. Acts of service are so important for me and I‘m glad to be able cook for my synagogue.

A really great mystery! I love the development of Rachel‘s character in this book and the look into influencer culture was fascinating!

What I love about KC‘s books is that her characters are so real, and so flawed but at the same time so very appealing. Sadie suffers a life changing setback and has to learn how to ask for help and live her life in an emotionally honest way. All while trying to accomplish a major life goal and falling in love with two very different men. #botm

My #BOTM haul! Arrived yesterday and I‘m diving in today. 📚

Book of the Month sucked me back in! 3 of my favorite authors all released this month! #botm

Listening to this audiobook which encourages you to take time for yourself, and taking time for myself but doing an ongoing Lego project with my family.

As a recovering people pleaser I totally empathize with Elsie‘s difficulty advocating for herself. I loved the romance between Elsie and Jack and, as always, the science is always fascinating

The school year is finally winding down and I‘ve taken a long awaited personal day. First stop! Book buying and a decaf mocha!

Nothing says relaxation like an extra day off work before a holiday weekend.

A lovely romance between a cranky doctor just getting over her divorce and her anxious new coworker who is just the most lovely person.

A really fun enemies to lovers romance. Nicely developed characters and good communication!

If you love #truecrime and #romantsy then this is the book for you. The true crime obsessed heroine meets her cute new neighbor and can‘t decide if he‘s a serial killer or just a cute and slightly odd neighbor.

An interesting take on the Beauty & the Beast trope. I think it was a little too dark for me, but I do love her writing. So a cautious pick for me. #romantsy

A great #audiowalk this morning. I love this time of year!

I adores this book! Sally and Josh have my heart! I loved Sally‘s very real neuroses and they way they worked through them together. Lovely #romantsy

I already own the ebooks but I could not pass up this beautiful new cover! One of my favorite #romantsy books!

I bought it for the Patricia Briggs story (which was excellent). however, the whole collection was pretty great!

This month‘s #BOTM. I love the new socks so much!

A great thriller! The story of 2 mass murders 15 years apart and the people who work together to solve the mystery.

Finally. A snow day home from work. Starting my morning with a good book ❄️📖

A little reading while waiting for my daughter at gymnastics

Quite possibly my favorite opening line ever

A fascinating and heartbreaking story.

A sweet second chance romance between 2 former teen cast mates reunited after 14 years apart. #BOTM

Suspenseful and tightly written. I enjoyed it a lot, but wished I had read the first book in the series first because it seems like I needed s little more background to keep up.

#bookmail is the best mail! #BOTM

5 books read (1 🎧 4📚) all of them ones I had started and never finished
2 books in progress & I can‘t wait to start Hell Bent!
#weeklyforcast

After a long work week, my plans for the evening #romantsy

A phenomenal book about the history of the Sackler family and their creation of the Opium crisis in America.

What a great start to my 2024 reading. I loved this book. A Rumplestiltskin retelling set in a feudal and magical Lithuania-ish country with a Jewish heroine, found family and adventure!

My resolutions for this year. Gotta deal with my unread books.

I just love anything Penny Reid writes!

Today‘s read. I love a good second chance romance and I don‘t think this one will disappoint. #botm

This month‘s #BOTM. Always so excited to get the free book of the year!

I like this book‘s energy (no pun intended). The story frame is a little simplistic but the ideas are well thought out and purposeful. All in all, a great book for people who might be struggling.

A little last minute reading (and soccer) before family arrives!

My #botm books and my book club choice. Just a little TBR for Thanksgiving

A sweet and emotional second chance/marriage in trouble romance. 💕

My boss got this book for everyone on our team! I‘d super excited to read this!

A new bookcase means a chance to rearrange all my books! Love the new look!

A little reading in paradise
