3.75 stars. Entertaining and well-crafted, the pages of this book easily flew by! You want to really pay attention to the details because there are frequent timeline jumps and a good number of characters. I liked her last thriller better, but I had a lot of fun with this and didn‘t want to put it down! #BOTM

Do you ever get a really good feeling about a book, where you sense you‘ll just love it, even if you don‘t really know anything about it or the author? (Dare I say, like a literary oracle?) This turned out to be exactly the kind of book I was hoping for at just the right time - endlessly heartfelt, a little quirky, compulsively readable, achingly poignant. The kind of book that carves a space in your heart. ⬇️

November was another tough month to pick (The Serviceberry & Life With Picasso were right up there) but ultimately, I chose the tagged book because while not perfect, the premise was so unique that I am still thinking about it. I listened to the audiobook but might go back & read my #BOTM copy.
Getting back into the swing of things! I played #bookspinbingo last year for 11 out of the 12 months and my hope is to do all 12 this year. I only got bingo once (in April), so it would be nice to add to that statistic too.
Super excited about the tagged book, but I have to wait for it to arrive from #BOTM 😢
Finished up a book yesterday, so I‘ve got one block filled in so far!

Of course I picked the mystery/thriller. There were several I wanted to add on but I‘m trying to stick to a one book policy until I read some of my recent #BOTM selections..
panThough this wasn‘t exactly the book I hoped for, I can see why this was a #BOTM pick for Nov., as I think it will serve well as a discussion starter! It opens with a mother‘s disappearance from a grocery store parking lot before shifting to multiple perspectives— the best friend, another new mother obsessed with following the case & a retired detective who also can‘t let it go. Less mystery & more of an exploration of the hardships of mothering.
