Damnation Creek by Ash Davidson

This was definitely a love it or hate book. I read this for several reasons. Book of the Month Club, Netgalley and a buddy read on Instagram, so I think I have a decent grasp on the thoughts of fellow readers. The opinions have been 50/50 and hard core on either side. I am onContinue reading “Damnation Creek by Ash Davidson”

The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth

The Good Sister was part of my Hepworth binge I mentioned in The Mother-in-Law post and I liked it even better than I did The Mother-in-Law! A favorite of September. This is another mystery thriller and I can usually figure those out pretty quickly but I was shocked (although some would say the title gaveContinue reading “The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth”

The Mother-in-Law by Sally Hepworth

(While I am fortunate to have a mother in law that I like (and I think likes me) we have all heard the horrible MIL stories right? Sally Hepworth takes this common theme to a whole new level.

When Algonquin Books reached out and asked me to review book 2, All PetsContinue reading “All Pets Welcome by Adele Griffin”

Mr. Right Across the Street by Kathryn Freeman

Mr. Right Across the Street by Kathryn Freeman was a perfect romance to kick off 2021. I also participated in a read along with One More Chapter.

Live in Love by Laura Akins

Live in Love was a book I found on NetGalley and instantly wanted to read because I love Thomas Rhett, the country singer for those that are not familiar. Several of his songs are like soundtracks to my life and I love that. I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with this whole family. AfterContinue reading “Live in Love by Laura Akins”

The Perfect Guest by Emma Rous

The Perfect Guest by Emma Rous was my first blog tour and NetGalley read of 2021 and also my first Emma Rous book.

Within the first chapter I had major Companion vibes…the orphan comingContinue reading “The Perfect Guest by Emma Rous”

This was my first read-along with OMC and it was so fun and interactive. Having so many people posting and reading along with me, including Sandy Barker! OMC encouraged us with book discussionContinue reading “The Christmas Swap by Sandy Barker”
