Fantastic! May be my favorite of her so far. I‘m not even really a fan of police procedurals but French does it better than anyone! #BookspinBingo #AAM #authoramonth @TheAromaofBooks @Soubhiville #chunkster

All of the props and stars and points times a million for this one! I might have enjoyed this more than the first, which is pretty tough to beat. Hoping wishing praying there will be a third! #readyourkindle #aam #authoramonth @Soubhiville @GingerAntics

#AAM I needed a distraction today and couldn‘t settle on anything, so in the end I decided I‘d revisit this before picking up the sequel. I found reading it a second time around a less all consuming experience that I got swept up in, and a more analytical one that had me noticing new details. But it was just as funny, charming, and heartwarming as I remember it. @Soubhiville

I found out some truly distressing/heartbreaking news this week (I'm fine, my family's fine), so I binge read this book to soothe my heart. I have been extremely fortunate in my life to not have experienced much deep loss in my life, but this book healed my bruised heart in ways it's hard to explain. I can't overstate how much the descriptions of death made me feel better. Highly recommended.

#AAM At 36% there‘s nothing I dis-like about it but nothing I particularly like either. I also bailed on The Extraordinaries after just 1 ch. I‘m surprised because I loved The House in the Cerulean Sea & Under the Whispering Door. I have a hold on Somewhere Beyond the Sea but that‘s months out. Hoopla has tons of other options & they all sound really different, but I‘m not exactly drawn to the blurbs so I‘m wondering if it‘s worth trying one more?

Like some of y‘all have mentioned, this was even better the second time around ♥️♥️ Thanks for joining me, whether it was your first or second (or fifth 😂) time reading it! On to the next, and I cannot WAIT 😊😊

It‘s the last week with Sarah Waters #authoramonth readers. I hope you‘re enjoying your books.

September brings us TJ Klune. Place your library hold or orders or find him on your shelves.

(How is it almost September?!)

#AAM This was perfect! I loved getting a glimpse into late 19th century queer London, and finally reading one of our first proper lesbian romances. These characters and their story struck me as sweet, but not in a sugar-spun, wholesome way. I‘m not sure what the quintessential queer romance story is, but it‘s not waltzing with Prince Charming and some chipmunks in the forest. 👇🏼
