A bit of a slog for me. Repetitive. But will finish this while I watch women’s hockey that I taped.

I’m not crying, you are 😭😭😭

Oh man, oh man. This book just keeps getting better the further I read. O’Shea writes interesting, intriguing and so very well written books. ARC on offer at NetGalley for Bella Books. Don’t miss out.

I have finished this, enjoyed it and will review it soon.

This is such a good story. Warner never missed a beat from the end of book one to this one.

I am really enjoying this one. O’Beirne writes YA stories like no one else.

Not sure why but I an working hard to finish this one. It reminds me of stream of consciousness writing.

Awesome book. Set during World War II. They are pows of the Japanese at this point. Heavy stuff happening.

OMG. Cooking and paranormal investigations. Both being my favourite shows to follow can only mean one thing. I am loving every minute of this.

“She was like weather coming in a window.”

“Mom and her friend—I wanted to break them apart, like sentences, to understand them.”

Only 3% in and the writing is blowing me away.

“The wooden pew dug into her upper back, the seat so hard it inhibited her glutes and gave her an intense case of dead butt syndrome.”

I am really enjoying this new to me author. Smart writing. Really funny dialogue and August is a sweetheart of a character who everyone will fall in love with.

“how many times I told Lorn that I was in it for the long haul (not just the U-Haul)”

I am really enjoying this book. Smart writing. Deeper subjects than the title relays.

Turn to nature to pardon some of the difficulty you have to bear. Nature has more light than anything else on your planet.

“For the last time, I might be a therapist, but I’m also an adult, being emotionally mature isn’t me bringing work home.”

Great banter in this novel.

My last update said arc available at NetGalley, but I am incorrect. Ylva publishing is offering the ARC.

This is sooooooo unexpected. Warner wrote The Valkyrie’s Daughter last year which I loved. This is a romance between an actress and a self claimed nerd. I am loving every bit of this book! Arc available at NetGalley.

I am so loving this! Small town North Carolina in the 60’s. The charm of the south once again has its hold on me.

“But somewhere between dating her yuppie fiancé and planning their wedding in Chicago, Deb developed both agoraphobia, a fear of open “spaces—and claustrophobia, a fear of closed spaces. I blame the yuppie.”


OMG. I hope this book will live up to these first few sentences in the Prologue.

I am rereading this novel as I DNF on my first try. A new review will be done once I have finished this novel.

“At the beginning we were both caught in the seconds between breaths around one another.”

Really enjoying this book. The plot is very different, in a good way.

“The bodies did not lay flat, but were interned in a sitting position with their knees drawn up and head pressed down, the way a baby rested in its mother’s womb before being born. That is because these loved ones were not dead at all; they were being born into another level of existence where their lives would continue in a more enlightened fashion than they had experienced on earth. ”

“A temporary symptom of a fleeting pain, not something that’s grown and mutated within your very cells. I’m heavy with it now, it’s spread throughout my organs. A terminal case of grief.”

A deep and thoughtful story about loss. A story I can wrap around me and wallow .

Debut novel. Very intense. Prosecutors view on taking a father to court for years of sexual assault on his girls. Tough topic yet an interesting read.

I am loving this book. I can see why there are so many 5⭐️ reviews.

I am really enjoying this mystery.

DNF. which is a very odd occurrence for me as I read the back of cereal boxes. Interesting premise about other lives we have had and if we reconnect with our soul mate through the ages. I tried twice to finish the book but no go. The pacing was too slow for me but I am sure others will love it.

I am struggling big time with this one. It flips back and forth between the 1800’s and today which is not a problem. The problem is what is happening in the past is just not holding my interest right now. I am going put it down for now and read something else. I feel this book has promise but I am just not in the right place to read it right now.

OMG. I need to sleep but I do not want to put the book down. It is so good!

This is such a good book! Thank you friends and reviewers for recommending it!
