I'm not someone that gives out 5 stars very often, and it usually is reserved to books that are special to me, moved me, and I can see myself reading again, which I've already proven by reading Wild at Heart a second time in two month.... Read More
My Lovely Wife by Samantha Downing / what a crazy thriller
Wow wow wow - this book was CRAZY!!!! I honestly couldn't believe all the twists and turns - which made it quite the entertaining read. Moreover I think I finally realized what I love about thrillers - it's definitely the shocks, and the OMGs.... Read More
Thirteen (Eddie Flynn #4) by Steve Cavanagh / such a great thriller!!
I've heard a lot about this book before I even picked it up. And the idea of the murderer sitting on the jury was the most intriguing aspect of all. I've read some great thrillers recently, The Whisper Man, The Chestnut Man and The Nanny during last year's #thrilleroctober and I enjoyed them all!! The genre is amazing for audiobooks. They really make you sit on the edge of the seat.... Read More
The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary / charmingly British and absolutely adorable
I often lament that romance novels have started to feel the same to me after reading as many as I’ve read over the years. It’s hard for me to distinguish the many novels I read unless they are utterly unique. I’m happy to say, that Beth O’Learly did what I wish many other authors would do, she wrote a debut novel that was quirky, unique and had a most engaging plot.... Read More
The Sun Down Motel by Simone St James /atmospheric and spooky
This was another #bookstagrammademedoit kind of a deal. It was also a BOTM pick as can be seen in the photo, that means the #BOTM community talked about this book non-stop and I had a hard time escaping it - lol. On the other hand, Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James was my first book by this author, and it won't be my last.... Read More
The Love Story of Missy Carmichael by Beth Morrey / charmingly British & uplifting
Honestly, if you put Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine and A Man Called Ove into the blurb of a book, I'll be definitely picking it up. I actually devoured the audiobook in three days. and it gave me all the feels I liked about the two above mentioned books. It was heart-warming, thoughtful, endearing, and moving. They call it a "coming-of-old" old story, and it fits, it was a celebration of life, even when the GOOD years have gone by.... Read More
Smoke Bitten by Patricia Briggs / as always exactly what I needed
Getting a new Patricia Briggs novel is a highlight. A once in a year experience. Something that needs to be savored and enjoyed to the fullest. There aren't that many UF authors I adore and can rely on for excellent storytelling. Patricia Briggs is one of the BEST!... Read More
Look the Part by Jewel E Ann / if I could I would give it 6 stars
This book deserves 6 stars!! I was literally blown away by this novel. It was my first book by Jewel E. Ann but it won't be my last. This book was just A M A Z I N G!! (and it's one of those re-reads that only get better with each time. Now years later, this book is still one of the BEST romance novels I read in years)... Read More
Born A Crime by Trevor Noah / one of the best audiobooks
I went into this book blind. I didn't know anything about Trevor Noah except for him being a TV show host. All I knew was that this book got glowing reviews, and the audiobook was lauded as amazing. As part of this year's bookish goals, I have been picking up more non-fiction reads throughout the year. Honestly I couldn't have picked a better one to start with.... Read More
