Desert Star by Michael Connelly
End of watch? Maybe. Good installment with Renee and Harry. Curious where Connelly goes next with the both of them. I think my main issue is that there were too many plot holes in this one that don’t get addressed. Also the Renee we know who was just kind of done at the end of the last book, I don’t … [Read more]
We Deserve Monuments by Jas Hammonds
This book is so phenomenal and heart wrenching and absolutely perfect. I found it utterly unputdownable and love Avery, Simone, Zora, Carole, and Mama Letty so much. When Avery’s mom learns of her mom’s cancer diagnosis and that it’s probably the end for her, the Anderson family packs up and … [Read more]
Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi

Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel
I don't think I've read one of Emily St. John Mandel's books in a while. I forgot how much I liked her.

It's actually my Amazon account, so it was really easy to do, and don't worry - I had her … [Read more]
My Evil Mother by Margaret Atwood
This is apparently an Amazon Original Story, whatever that means? I knew that it was free and it was a short one, that’s for sure. I’ve read a bunch of Margaret Atwood’s books, so I thought I’d give this one a try, since it was only an hour long. I basically only read kindle books and audiobooks, so … [Read more]
The Other Emily by Dean Koontz
OK somehow I read that book where the guys moves in and out of different worlds and there are copies of him (no idea what the title is - I just found it. It's Dark Matter by BLAKE CROUCH! Totally not Dean Koontz, silly me), and all the Odd Thomas books by Dean Koontz and forgot that … [Read more]
