Re: July!

Didn't realize we didn't have a July post.

I finished Find You First by Linwood Barclay which was decent albeit a bit phoned in. I have the new Riley Sager taunting me from my library stack. I need MORE reading time. :)

Re: June!

I liked the Mother in Law and also The Other Sister by the same author.

I loved Who is Maud Dixon? - will be one of my faves for the year I think.

Not sure what's next on the pile....

Re: June!

If anyone likes "spice" in their reading, I read The Idea of You by Robinne Lee. It's pretty spicy but I enjoyed it . :cute

Currently reading Who is Maud Dixon? which I'm really enjoying. I couldn't go to bed last night I was so involved.

Re: June!

I've loved every Lori Lansens book except This Little Light. Actually The Girls is probably one of my top 3 books of all time. I finished Local Girl Missing by Mary Kubica this weekend which I really liked and was a 4 star until the end when it dropped 1/2 a star. I also finished Beth and Amy by Vir...

Re: May!

Blush - that's on my list...I'll have to give it priority.

Re: May!

I cried at the end of 28 Summers. :cute I've read a few of hers before but i really liked this one and/or needed super fluffy in my life.

I'm still reading One by One by Ruth Ware. I feel it's kinda disjointed a bit.

I'm halfway through One by One by Ruth Ware - it's good but not loving it as much as some of her other books.

Re: April! (the month not the person)

Trainers right Blush? A bunch of reading lately... 28 Summers by Elin Hilderbrand - I don't usually go for her books regularly but i had heard great things. It was good - I cried. Fluff but I think I needed it. Mother May I by Joshilyn Jackson - this was good. A solid 4 star until the end where I ha...

Re: April! (the month not the person)

The Four Winds didn't have addiction or domestic violence just poverty. I didn't really know anything about this time period/area in the US so it was eye opening to me.

Re: April!

The Four Winds is definitely sad. I really liked The Great Alone so maybe I like sad. :paranoid

Blush - how was that Robson? I really liked The Gown from her. Are you liking The Nightingale? That was my only 5 star book in the last 2 years and i procrastinated reading it.

January!

Hey ladies...it's January. What are you reading?

I finished Confessions on the 7:45 by Lisa Unger this week and really liked it. If you're looking for a good thriller this was definitely a 4 star for me.

Next up is Lie to Me by JT Ellison. I usually like her books. :)
