Good cozy read!
Don't You Cry|Paperback
Life in Suburbia may not be what you think, quick and easy read, Wasn't a favorite for me, characters were not likanle IMO
The Push : McGowan, Claire: Amazon.in: Books
Was a little slow at times, ending was not expected, was a MEH
The Good Girl (Paperback)
Def read based off of the HYPE, I did not find it to be an amazing book. I would give it maybe 3 stars. The ending seemed rushed, and scrambled to tie up story lines.
Home Is Where the Bodies Are - by Jeneva Rose (Hardcover)
Slow paced at times, then rushed at times, I feel like there was a lot of build…
Sleepwalker: An utterly gripping, twisty, psychological thriller from BESTSELLER M. A. Hunter
Quick read, The whole premise is quite farfetched but it was a easy enough read I didnt mind!
The Neighbor Two Doors Down: A psychological thriller|Paperback
I gave this series a go, I couldnt get into it, will not continue series
Crashing Down #1 in series
It had some twists, goes to show you may not always know your spouse as you think you DO!
The Other Woman: A Gripping Romantic Psychological Suspense
February Reads 2025
PLL meets Gossip Girl meets Mean Girls, all with giving a little Riverdale. Its a Boarding school type scene. A few main girlies, and a guy. If you like a teen drama vibe, you should def go for it! FINALLY FINISHED A FEB BOOK! only took 12 days SMH
People Like Us|eBook
I really like this series, you can read from the 1st or jump in and still read as a standalone, characters are funny and likable imo, and it's a mystery that is a little light hearted!
Janet Evanovich: Dirty Thirty (Paperback)
Chose this because it was a short story, and I needed something that I could easily read and check off in a day or two. If you enjoy Trent and Reacher I feel like this would be an easy and enjoyable read. I am not such a fan so it was an ok for me!
Cleaning the Gold: A Jack Reacher and Will Trent Short Story, (Paperback)
I like MHC, this book had a lot of build for a quickly wrapped up ending IMO. IT jumped around and had some people giving Main Character energy that I just dont feel like deserved it.
I've Got My Eyes on You
Another Clark novel for the month. It was a nice read. IT follows a wealthy Dr and the mystery around his death. Money and Drama are the major themes. It was not a bad read but it didn't leave me pumped for reading it!
As Time Goes By: A Novel
My 3rd Mary Higgins Clark read of the month! This is based around a podcaster team who looks into a murder that took place, and cast twin brothers as prime suspects. This is another book, with family drama, power dynamics, and $ play a role. * prt of the Under Suspicion series however I read as. standalone and could easily jump into character dynamics.
It Had to Be You (An Under Suspicion Novel)
March Reads 2025
Excited to share and track the books I read in March!
I usually will not pick up a Grisham novel, out of pure preference, but I gave this a shot. I feel like I read through so much imagery. I enjoy painting a picture for the reader, but I found myself speed reading. It you like history and backstory, a little curse mixed with present day storyline, give it a shot!
Camino Ghosts - by John Grisham (Hardcover)
This is my first Nora Roberts Book!! I can't believe it! This is book one of a trilogy. I enjoyed it. It had mystery, family, some romance, comedy. Strong themes of friendship, family bonds, and love, all while having a full ghost story intertwined. It def keeped me entertained, and ended on a cliffhanger! I cannot wait until I have access to the second book!
Inheritance - (Lost Bride Trilogy) by Nora Roberts (Paperback)
Pretty interesting story. It def was a fun read for me. I thought I had it figured out a few times. AFter reading I could def note the Easter Eggs I had missed. Has LGBTQ elements.
End of Story:
Janet Evanovich books are always a fast a fun read. Crime/ Light mystery mixed wit humor. It is essentially used as a pallette cleanser when I am tired on a genre
Wicked Business: A Lizzy & Diesel Novel
Another Janet Evanovich book for the month, Even tho these books are listed in order they can be read as a stand alone. Another Easy light read.
Stephanie Plum Novels Four to Score, Book 4, (Paperback)
I enjoyed this read, although I had to stop and re-read some parts nearer the end, as the story line got a little chaotic to me. A women takes a job as a police transciber, her personal and professional life begin to intermingle in a way that she could not have seen coming.
Hello, Transcriber: A Novel|Paperback
The Heiress: A Novel by Rachel Hawkins
April Reads 2025
Beautifully Tragic novel set in WW2 times, following Female Code crackers and their very interesting lives. Truly a heavy read.
The Rose Code: A Novel
Meh read for me.
If Something Happens to Me: A Novel
I had no idea this was a movie when I read it. I don't think I enjoyed the book enough to watch it as a motion picture. I usually like Evanovich but this one did not grab me.
One for the Money (Stephanie Plum Novels)
WHITE LOTUS VIBES This is a Reese book club pick. Its a novel imo of a women who rediscovers herself during a solo trip that proves to be a beautifully dangerous destination.
