I love a great book. As a busy mom, I am most likely to be listening to an Audiobook. I average 2-3 per month on Spotify. My recs will tell you if Audio is best (in my opinion of course!). I welcome your recommendations as well.

Crime Time & Thriller Central
Whodunit, WTF’s and head scratchers aplenty.
I thought this was another crime/ thriller and I was so wrong. TW for content FOR SURE. This is probably my #1 of the 40+ I’ve read in the last 4 years.

This inspired me to read all of her books. Truly a great read.

TW: content. Wow. This was the first book I read that I had to set it down, compose myself and come back later. Truly shocking. So good.
Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell
If you can get past the slight language barrier (culturally different but beautiful names - just Google the pronunciations) you will love this, and you won’t figure it out until the end.
The Guest List: Reese's Book Club Pick
10/10 read that will keep you guessing until the literal end. Ashley Flowers is a jack of all trades and master of all as well.

The Housemaid Series by Freida McFadden
Do you want to feel a little like you’re nuts? Read this.
The Woods are Waiting: A Novel

Sometimes I think “I figured this one out so early!” and man, was I caught by a left hook on this one…
The Crash by Freida McFadden
Autobiographies
Listen with an open heart
This genuinely made me cry.

It’s a Love Story… sometimes
I’m a sucker for a love story between my typical crime/ thriller novel!
Is it cringe to call a book cute? TW for content, but I promise you’ll understand!
