This story pulled me in right away. It is about love, family and becoming your true self. Can‘t wait for more by this author!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

Another great book by Allison Larkin. It started out a bit slow but I ended up really caring for Freya and Aubrey who were treated so badly by their families. There is a lot of trauma but it is also hopeful.

I liked it!

This is not an easy book to read. There is a lot of trauma regarding sexual abuse. The book is divided into 4 parts that are loosely connected.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

This was a fast read, but the trauma after trauma made me disconnect with the book.

A tender story about mothers an daughters and the beauty and danger of nature. I highly recommend this book.

Another great novel by Bryan Washington. I liked the description of Tokyo and the story of a mother and son.

It was hard to only pick 4!

Wow is all I can say right now. I‘ll be thinking about this book for a long time.

This was funny, sweet and exactly what I want from a romance. I really liked learning more about making a podcast as well.

This was a quick read. Liked it, didn‘t love it.

This was so delightful. Great on audio.

I read this quickly, but ended up feeling it was a bit silly. 3 stars.

I really liked this one. Looking forward to her new book out this September.

An enjoyable cozy fantasy. The audio was excellent.

Another great book by Charlotte McConaghy. The audio production was excellent with several narrators. The description of the island was so vivid. I loved the characters and their growth. Highly recommend.

Lots of great advice

Great book

I didn‘t like it as much as The Berry Pickers, but still worth reading.

I did not know much about this book going in. It was not at all what I expected, but I loved it.

This wasn‘t for me. I thought it was predictable and didn‘t like the ghost aspect.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

Rube is traveling cross country to see his father who left him at a young age and who hasn‘t been in contact with him since. On his way he is picking up his siblings, all of which have been abandoned by their father, a man who is totally reinventing himself whenever he leaves. Kevin Wilson has once again written a book full of unique characters and I absolutely loved it.

A typical Katherine Center romance. I really enjoyed it. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

This was fun and juicy.

A solid historical fiction novel.

Loved it! Couldn‘t stop reading.

Absolutely loved this book about friendship,connections and art.
No one writes about heartbreaking moments with as much tenderness as Fredrik Backman does.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

Another great novel by Chimamamda Ngozi Adichie.
It‘s about 4 women, their struggles and joys. Highly recommend.

Loved it!!

Abby Jimenez never disappoints! I know that there will be a happy ending, however I also like how her books don‘t shy away from how hard life is.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance e-galley.

A great ending to the trilogy. The mystery was interesting, but the best part of the book was Darren‘s developing relationship with his mother.

The three Maxwell sibling have been staying away from the house they grew up in for years. Something unexplainable took place there. Is the house itself evil? Now they are forced to come back and face their past.
I found parts of the story interesting, but overall it didn‘t quiet work for me. It was not a book I was eager to get back to.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

Look out for this one on January 28.
If you liked Black Cake, you‘ll like this one as well!
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

This was much heavier than I expected, but I loved it. It‘s about complicated family relationship, addiction and grief.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

Great book!!

Ann Patchett definitely can write but this was not my favorite by her.

Love Abby Jimenez. This was no exception.
Just discovered yesterday that she has a new book out April, 2025 called Say You‘ll Remember Me. Can‘t wait!

If you had the chance to change your life to make it exactly the way you want it, would you?
This is a fun, fast moving book about life choices.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

Another great poetry collection by Amanda Lovelace. This one is very personal. I really connected with many of the poems. Highly recommend.

Loved this book about the anger that‘s boiling inside a wife and mother who is putting her family‘s needs before her own. Very relatable.

Another great world and addition to the Wayward Children series. Wish it was longer.

A beautiful story about sisterhood and life struggles. Highly recommend.

An engaging post-apocalyptic thriller about an Anishinaabe community.

Some of these I loved, others I didn‘t care for at all. Interesting list.

I liked it, just thought it was a bit too long.

Great narrator. I enjoyed it but thought it was a bit too on the nose.

This was great! Couldn‘t stop reading.
