Just wanted to take a moment to say our hearts go out to everyone in the L.A area tonight. Australia has seen more than its fair share of devastating fires so we understand exactly what you are all going through. Though we are currently in our fire season, we‘ve been fortunate to have a La Niña weather system which has brought much rain thank god. We hope the weather gods smile on you too soon. Be safe, evacuate. ❤️?❤️

pickI spent the day reading yesterday and finished this. There were some parts I struggled with (abuse), but overall, I found it really engaging. I don't know who gifted me this book (It didn't have a name) but #ThankYou for it!

pickI love when I stumble across a book in a second hand shop and it turns out to be a decent read! A book where you‘re not sure if the narrator is stable or the villain is a hero
pickThis German thriller was based on a pretty gruesome premise, but it struck me as an original idea, so I tackled this as my first book from this popular German writer. I enjoyed it for the fast-paced plot development and found the shift in following different characters for each chapter pretty engrossing. Thumbs up!
pickDavid Baldacci has done it again! “To Die For“ is a gripping thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. The plot is intricate and fast-paced, with twists and turns that I never saw coming. Baldacci's writing is, as always, top-notch. He has a knack for creating complex and compelling characters that you can't...

• This was an emotional read but lacked the punch to make it a true gut punch. It was good but lacked something that could‘ve made it great; so I liked it a lot but didn't quite love it. Ask For Andrea is still my fav, although this one is probably my second favorite by this author.
• Will Damron & Megan Tusing both give good performances.
I participated in another Back Room author event graciously hosted by Hank Phillippi Ryan and Karen Dionne. There were engaging conversations with authors Tracy Clark, J.T. Ellison, Jessica Strawser, and Stephanie Wrobel. I wrote about my experience on my blog.

pickWhat a way to close out my official "spooky reads" season! This book is eerie, creepy and a total Gothic mood, but with all good stories like this, the overarching theme is one that transcends the scary. This locked room mystery touches on topics of abuse, misogyny, gaslighting, and sexual assault, allowing the readers to understand not only what the main character is going through, but the women of the past who battled these same demons.
