Just got this from Netgalley. Not off to a great start. May or may not be a DNF. Anyone else read/reading it?

This book comes out in June of this year. This was a good read with lots of gothic vibes and a suspense-filled storyline as the MC, accused of murder by her husband, tries to solve the crime and prove her innocence and at the same time taking a critical look at her marriage and husband.

Still on my historical fiction streak. This one is The Lost Women of Mill Street by Kinley Bryan. It's a American Historical Fiction set during the Civil War. The story follows two sisters from Georgia who struggle to survive the war and rebuild their lives. See my full review here: Reading Historical Fiction, again. It's my favorite genre.

WHAT I THOUGHT WEDNESDAY! Another week, another good books. This is a Tudor Era book set in both France and England. It's the story of a young French woman, Lady Gabrielle Roberda Montgomery, who marries into the Champernowne family of Devon whose members include Sir Walter Raleigh. Unfortunately her husband, Gawain is a bit of a cold fish. See my full review here: https://www.thebookdelight.com/2024/04/review-dartington-bride-by-rosemary.html

Can't We Be Friends by Denny S. Bryce and Eliza Knight was a great read! It's a deep dive into the unlikely friendship between two mega stars at the height of their popularity, Marilyn Monroe and Ella Fitzgerald. The research is phenomenal and the storytelling is compelling. I really enjoyed reading about Ella who I knew litte about. If you are a fan of either, you'll love this book.
