While I liked the story overall, I found much of the dialogue to be bloated and technical to the point of boring. Also, it takes place in 2020…far too much talk of Covid, masks, etc. I lived it…don‘t care to live it again. It‘s just an “eh” book for me.

This was a good whodunnit book. 9 year old Avery is missing, and there are many suspects on the street she lives on. Not a very satisfying ending however ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Alice Feeney is quickly becoming one of my favorites. This book has many twists and was so well done. Might be my favorite of hers so far ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This one starts off decent…an influencer goes missing and her mom is a suspect. Then a little bit past the halfway mark it turns into a completely different book about a “cult”…nope! DNF for me.

I really enjoyed The Night Swim, so I was excited to see that podcaster Rachel Krall was back! This was such a great read, from beginning to end. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I liked this one more than I expected to. It toggles between 3 points of view…his daughter, his prisoner and the bartender who has a huge crush on him…and is also targeted to be his next victim. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved the format of this book. I highly recommend the audiobook…it has a whole cast, which made it fun to listen to. I really enjoyed this one…a lot of unreliable characters…you don‘t know who to like or who to hate. I don‘t think Lisa Jewell has disappointed me yet.
⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a really awful book. I can‘t believe I finished it. It takes place during Covid…which should‘ve stopped me…but I kept going. It was outrageously ridiculous on so many levels.

Such a fun book! It was sweet and funny, with great characters. Quick read that I really enjoyed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Elin Hilderbrand is a go to for me…and she did not disappoint with this one. Loved the characters and storylines ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really liked this one…Grace Evans decided to stay in an Air BNB in nowhere Wyoming…her host is a handsome man…I loved not knowing where this was going. It kept me guessing. And I enjoyed the twist at the end.
⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I absolutely loved this book! A wonderful cast of characters. Funny…sad…sweet…all the feels 🥰

⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This one grabbed me from the start and didn‘t let go!

Happy St Patrick‘s Day! ☘️

A great follow up to “The Kind Worth Killing”. Peter Swanson is a go to for me…he did not disappoint ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Interesting stories blended in with nonsensical rants…this was a strange read to me.

I only read this to fill a reading challenge (author with same name)…I‘m so glad I did! It hooked me right from the start. It‘s a raw, crazy and honest memoir
⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I didn‘t realize this was a dystopian pandemic book…if I had I wouldn‘t have even started it. I have no desire to read about Covid times or anything similar. I almost DNF‘d a few times, but I stuck it out. I shouldn‘t have bothered 👎🏻

Loved the documentary…and loving the book so far 💖 #bookmail

Quick and fun read!

I wasn‘t sure if all the tennis talk was gonna bore me, but there was such a good story line going on that I wasn‘t bothered by it. Carrie Soto‘s personality had me all over the place. She was so unlikeable…yet part of me was still rooting for her. Overall good read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My first book of 2023! It was a quick & easy read. I enjoyed it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Definitely one of my top 5 favorite reads of 2022! Her writing style is very much like Fredrik Backman‘s, one of my favorite authors 💗 There‘s a great cast of characters. My favorite, of course, was Marcellus, the octopus 🐙 Great read! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really liked this one! I had no idea the direction it was going to take. It held my interest from beginning to end. This is her best book so far IMO ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow…what a great read! I had no idea how crazy his addiction was. He really bares it all in this book. Kudos to him! I highly recommend this one if you like a good memoir ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I made it to 50% and just couldn‘t go on…it was so booooring. Other reviews I read basically let me know there was nothing dark and spooky coming…so I bailed.

Loving this coffee! It has a chocolaty cinnamon taste #Bonescoffee

I didn't care for The Sanatorium, so I was hesitant to read her follow-up. I decided to give it a chance anyway. It was only a smidge better...but still not my cup of tea. This book didn't hold my attention and was kind of just all over the place ⭐ ⭐

This book was just okay. I think my biggest complaint is the dialogue.
It‘s also much longer than it should be…it kind of drags on ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

This one had me from the beginning and held me the entire time. Great twists!
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Wow…just…wow! 😳

This book has a very unlikeable cast of characters. Valentina was the only one with any redeeming qualities. Regardless of that it held my attention and I wanted to see where it went. The ending wasn‘t very satisfying

This was almost a DNF...but I trudged through and finished it. The main character is whiny and angry. The story was far fetched, and honestly, a bit ridiculous.

101 of 150…loved this one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Elin Hilderbrand is one of my favorites. I just read her newest book…it didn‘t disappoint!

I read books as an escape…unfortunately a lot of authors right now are bringing politics and social views into their writing. I get that enough from social media and the TV… I don‘t want it in my books too. It‘s made reading new releases a little bit difficult. This book had promise…it was a great story…but it was ruined with the politics and angry social views. I still give it 3 stars…I enjoyed it for the most part ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

This started off promising...then it came to the twist...which was a bit out there, but I told myself to just go with it and see where it leads. I'm still not sure what I think of this book. It had both good and bad...I give it a so-so rating ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

There were a lot of little angry rants in this book...which made it hard to enjoy. It was almost a DNF for me...but I trudged through. It was just an okay read.

Beautiful place to have this months book club 🌊

First I read the book, then I watched the documentary. Very heavy…but also inspiring.

I saw a lot of reviews from people saying they loved this book and it was their favorite read so far this year. Now I know why. Definitely one of my favorites this year too! So good! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

I wasn‘t a fan of Mexican Gothic, so I was afraid this would be similar. It wasn‘t! This book was so much better. It‘s spooky and atmospheric in all the right ways.

I rarely read legal thrillers, but this one caught my interest based on the synopsis. I really enjoyed it! It kept my attention from beginning to end. I'll definitely be reading more by this author.

I'm was such a fan of The Sun Down Motel and The Broken Girls that I was really looking forward to a new Simone St. James book. This one just didn't work for me.
It was a bit slow and not as creepy/scary as the others. It was just okay...

This is my 4th Colleen Hoover book and I've loved every one of them. This one did not disappoint. So many feels... ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

This was such a great book, but there are some disturbing parts to it. I had to fast forward in a few sections. I almost stopped listening because I was afraid of the direction it was taking. I carried on with it though, and was happy I did.

This book is pretty uneventful during the first half...once it picks up it becomes a bit far fetched and weird. It was just okay ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
