Romantasy 🪄 💕
Complex world building, magic systems, romance, challenges, and more. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!
The Midnight Bargain
Ugh, I cannot wait for the next book! I truly loved this series and may read it again.
A Court of Thorns and Roses Paperback Set
This book felt unique in the way that the magic systems included demons. I started reading this book by accident, thinking it was about something else. I don't think I'll read the next books in the trilogy, however the characters are well developed a...
A Crown of Ivy and Glass (Middlemist 1)
This trilogy was my favorite read of 2024. India Holton is brilliant. This is wickedly fun, witty, and enjoyable. I could write a thesis on how incredible this series is. I would give anything to read it again for the first time.
India Holton 3-Book Set: Wisteria Society & More
India Holton is one of my favorite authors in the entire world. Her writing is funny, silly, and the love aspects of her stories are so beautiful woven. If you're looking for a new author to love, India Holton will be yours!
The Ornithologist's Field Guide to Love
Mystery/Thrillers 🔍 🔪
This book really stuck with me. Catherine Howard is such a talented author. Listen to the audio book if you want the full experience- Irish accents and all.
The Nothing Man
As someone with a sister, I really resonated with the lead character in this book as I would do anything to find my sister if she went missing. Listen to the audio book if you enjoy Irish accents! This book is kind of a mind bender, but I can't recom...
The Trap
This book covers so many real life topics within the guise of this fictional story. There are some really beautiful relationships and some really dark ones. You start to wonder- are we all just bad, self-absorbed people? Is it because of social media...
Such a Bad Influence
This book covers so many different perspectives on bodies/weight/health while being a whodunnit. There's a trigger warning in the beginning, so make sure you're in a good place before reading. There were twists I didn't predict and I really enjoyed t...
Bodies to Die For
This is a fast paced read that leaves you guessing until the very end. You don't know who did it right up until the end and you question who you can trust the whole time.
House of Glass: A Novel
A solid mystery/whodunnit told from multiple perspectives. I enjoyed it and was kept guessing all the way through.
The Chateau: A Novel
Alex Finlay is truly one of my favorite authors. Such good characters with well-weaved storylines and unexpected thrills. You will not be disappointed reading any of their books.
What Have We Done: A Novel
SO DANG GOOD. I wish I could read this again for the first time. I could not figure out who did it and I was so impressed by how the story unraveled. I couldn't put it down.
The Night Shift: A Novel
I absolutely LOVED this book! It follows four women in their 60s who are part of a secret organization. They've been assassins for over 30 years. Suddenly, they find themselves as the target. This book was witty, funny, and interesting! It's not supe...
Killers of a Certain Age - by Deanna Raybourn (Paperback)
Based on the description of this book, I was immediately interesting. This nonlinear story follows a barrister in the English court system trying the case of her life. There are so many clues, twists, and interesting characters. I thoroughly enjoyed ...
Dissection of a Murder - by Jo Murray (Paperback)
I can't recommend this book enough. It felt like I was thinking through the parts of an actual case. Every aspect from the family impacted to the detective working the case is covered. You don't know who the kidnapper is until close to the end. I wen...
Everyone Here Is Lying - by Shari Lapena (Paperback)
Out of all the books on this list, this may be the one I recommend you read the most. It's witty, twisty, and action packed. It's so well written and such a fun read.
The Defense - (Eddie Flynn) by Steve Cavanagh (Paperback)
Such a twisty book that keeps you wondering. Just when you think you've figured it out, something will happen that makes you think again. I couldn't put it down.
Cross My Heart - by Megan Collins (Hardcover)
If everyone believed you murdered your friend, but you couldn't remember the night in question, what would you do?
This book was really well done. About half way through the book, I figured out whodunnit, but that doesn't discount the fact that the book was really good. It's twisty and reminded me of Payne Lindsay's first season of his investigative podcast.

This book made me feel so seen and understood. If you have ADHD and struggle to understand or accept your brain, this book will change your life like it did mine.
ADHD for Smart Ass Women: Love Your Brain
Claudia is hysterical. If you've listened to her podcast with her sister, then you know. If you don't, you're in for a treat. Claudia tells about her upbringing, growing up with her sisters, being Jewish, her rises and falls on social media, and many...
Girl With No Job: Crazy Beautiful Life
Drew is not only smart and well spoken, but knows what she's talking about. Whether it's from her upbringing and Samoan culture, or just her doing inner work, she has incredibly grounded perspectives on what it means to be a woman, the patriarchy, an...
Loud: Accept Nothing Less Than Your Life
If you're not shy about the f word, this is a book I'd highly recommend. This book has such good perspectives and is truly thoughtprovoking. This is a book I plan to read multiple times because I'll gain something new from each read.
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck - by Mark Manson (Hardcover)
I personally think any person who enjoys history should read this. The history of the Irish people is heartbreaking and understanding why the IRA did what they did and how this war impacted the Irish people will stick with you.
Say Nothing - by Patrick Radden Keefe (Paperback)
Once you learn about the manosphere, looksmaxxing, and the incel community, you won't unlearn it. I truly felt like I unlocked a part of the world (and internet) I never would have stumbled upon… Fair warning, this book is disturbing and not for the ...
Men Who Hate Women: From Incels to Pickup Artists: The Truth about Extreme Misogyny and How it Affects Us All
If you sew, I've been loving the patterns in this book. If you watched the British Sewing Bee, you'll know Brogan from season 8. I love the feminine way she dresses and have been making pieces she designed for myself.
