How much does your maid see?

The Maid's Diary by Loreth Anne White

by Leave a Comment

Two friends and I started a virtual book club. We decided to start with our Kindle Free Reads (totally not what it’s called, but I can’t remember right now!). This was the free book for February I think?   The main character is a maid named Kit. Her life seems pretty fine at the start, aside from not having a lot of money. She does have this problem where she snoops around in the homes of her wealthy clients though. She has a best friend […]

Would you defend your cheating husband for murder?

The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose

by Leave a Comment

Ooh this is another actual physical book I read! This one was even better than the other one. Sarah Morgan is the main character. She’s a successful partner at a law firm at 33. She’s also beautiful and rich and smart with a handsome and loving husband. He’s a writer and he spends most of his time at their cabin in the woods. Sarah bought it as a vacation house for the two of them, but he spends most of his time there alone. Or […]

Somehow, I read book three in the Enola Holmes series before book two. I feel like it’s been a long time since I did that! (I used to accidentally do it all the time somehow) Anyway, Enola is still in hiding from her meddling brothers who just want to make a lady out of her. She super does not want to be made a lady. I’m fully taken in by the character of Enola Holmes. It’s so hard for me to envision a world where […]

Misleading tagline, but not a bad book

Something in the Water by Catherine Steadman

by Leave a Comment

This is the first physical book I’ve read since at least the summer. I read the most on my kindle in my bed, or listening to an audiobook in the car or going for a walk. My boss lent me a few paperback books, and I read this one in about two days.   The tagline is “Have you ever wondered how long it takes to dig a grave?”, but that’s almost the least exciting part of this book. The main characters are Erin and […]

And I’m back with Colleen again

Verity by Colleen Hoover

by Leave a Comment

OK so this is the book that started all the Colleen Hoover stuff for me. My best friend recommended it a while ago. My sister started it and bought it for her mother-in-law before realizing what an inappropriate book it was to give to your mother-in-law. I waited for a while for it to be available at my library, but then realized that it was on my sister’s Audible account (through my Amazon account!) and finally listened to it (after suffering through some truly heinous […]

Not so great Chad

Family Money by Chad Zunker

by Leave a Comment

This is one of those books where you’re like “that is not a normal human reaction” about fifteen times. Alex is the main character, and we start out learning about his perfect family. He loves his wife and would never lie to her. He spends the next 88% of the book blatantly lying to her. Situations arise where it would be easy and preferable to tell the truth. Alex lies. In the first few chapters, they’re on service trip in Mexico, and his father-in-law (his […]
