I’m so excited to be a part of the Abby Greyson street team for her new sweet, clean sports RomCom Accidentally in Love with my Best Friend’s Brother. Fair warning – once you start reading this fun book, you won’t want to put it down. I read the book in one sitting and can attest the lost sleep was totally worth it!
I’m so excited to be a part of TBR Beyond Tours book tour of This Book Won’t Burn written by Samira Ahmed. It just came out on May 7 and as book lovers, you will NOT want to miss out on reading this powerful book.
If you’re against banning books, this book will make you mad, sad, happy, and hopeful. That basically sums up my feelings. My sister was an 8th and 9th grade English teacher for 40 years, and getting kids to read all kinds of books was a main focus. She bought books with her own money and set up a library of dozens and dozens (maybe even hundreds) of books in her classroom. She loaned books out to students and knew how to recommend just the right book to get a student interested in reading. I know that if she were still working at a school, hers would be the loudest voice of all.
I’m so happy to be a part of @rararesources book tour of Death in Bacton Wood by Ross Greenwood @rossg555 and published by Boldwood Books @bookandttonic
The book hits the ground running with a man buried alive in a shallow grave struggling to free himself. DS Ashley Knight happens to be at the police station on her day off to catch up on work, but finds herself called to the scene. As a result, her team are assigned to investigate the incident, which expands when another victim is found buried in the same woods. Soon thereafter, they discover that even more men are found – and the victims are all tied to an organized criminal organization.
James Hunter-Savage is the perfect name for an enemy, and Lady Estelle Foxbrooke has despised him since she and her twin brother Henry were 13 and James relentlessly tormented Henry at Eton. If that wasn’t bad enough, James and Henry worked at the same company and James stole the biggest deal and client that Henry had. James is the devil. Beelzebub incarnate…..he’s, he’s, he’s, Estelle’s new business partner. What just happened?!
This is a cute contemporary book about a couple’s breakup from the woman’s & her dog’s points of view. Let me just say, as a life-long dog owner, the premise of this book tickled me to no end. I’ve always wondered what my dogs are thinking, & have even pretended I understand what they were thinking when they looked at me or did something goofy – or annoying. Like, am I being punished because I had to stay at work late and her dinner was late? Probably.
This is a good mystery told in two different timelines and multiple POVs. The story focuses on three women that formed a sister bond while in the same foster care at Wild Meadows estate run by Miss Fairchild. On the surface the girls are “lucky” to be in such a wonderful placement, but scratch the surface and you’ll find Miss Fairchild is unpredictable, vengeful, and is not to be crossed. When they are young teenagers they are able to break away from her and go on to grow up and be successful. But, each women still carries deep scars from their life at Wild Meadows, and the last thing they want to do is return to the place of their nightmares. But, when a body is found under the house, they are forced to return to speak with detectives. The question is, are they witnesses or suspects?
This is my first book by this author but I will definitely check out her other books. The book was a wild ride with plenty of twists and I found myself changing opinions several times about who did what. That’s what I’m looking for in a thriller – I want to be surprised.
This was our February book club pick. The book is not something that I would have chosen myself to read, but it was fine. It’s a character driven story, which are not my favorites, so read this review with that in mind. The story is centered on two families and one tragic accident that happens in 1985 that links the families forever. The book focuses on big feelings like grief, betrayal, and depression. So it’s about so much, but also about nothing. That’s what frustrates me about character driven books, BUT, if you like them, then I think you will love this book. It’s beautifully written and definitely makes you feel all the feels. I’ll give you fair warning, though, it’s a very sad book.
