The Ghost of Marlow House | Bobbi Holmes, Anna J McIntyre

Pickpick

August 2025 Book #5

Danielle inherited a house and when she visited, she realized that a ghost lives in her house. This ghost asks Danielle‘s help to find out how he died. It is a simple story that reminded me The Ghost and Mrs Muir and the tv show Ghost Whisperer. Since I liked those two stories maybe that‘s why I enjoyed this book, a soft pick that I needed. Let‘s see what happens in book 2. 3⭐️

The Lost Girls of Willowbrook | Ellen Marie Wiseman

August 2025 Book #4

This story is inspired in events that occurred in Willowbrook and which were exposed by Geraldo Rivera about deplorable conditions students with disabilities and residents were living and the abuse they received. The novel is about Sage and her twin sister who had disabilities and she thought was dead but she was not. Then Sage is confused by her twin sister and is through her that we will see what happen insudecWilkiwbrook⬇️

Gissy The author‘s note give information and references about Willowbrook and the class action lawsuit parents and guardians filed after the situation was exposed. When I read the novel, it sounded too exaggerated and almost unrealistic but after author‘s note, I think real events could be worst. The author clarified which areas were fictionalized. Even with this explanation, you will like to know what happened to Sage and her sister. 3.8⭐️ 5m

August 2025 Books #3

A cozy mystery set in the 1930‘s where Clara inherited her uncle detective agency. I like Clara Vale character, well educated woman, likes fashion but down to earth. She has a dramatic mother who she ignores sometimes. The novel presents some issues women faced during that time which can be annoying today but we are still working in that equity. The story is funny, fast paced and the mystery is interesting. ⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) There are other interesting characters.

I read the first 2 books in the series first in order to read third one in the series which was part of #CBBC This series must be read in order. I will continue with this series. The fifth book will be release this month.

August 2025 Book #2

I wanted to read this one because of that cover. It was inspired by a true photo taken during the Great Depression. Here the story fictionalize of what happened to that family after photo was published. The reported in the novel altered the information. Then he was assigned to follow up this story and he investigates what really happened to that family after he lied, the truth behind the photo taken. ⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) I found the story a little bit boring.

Here I come…again,. I‘m just posting to have my closure with these books read😂

August 2025 Book #1
I enjoyed this book but I don‘t know, maybe I was expecting something different due to the hipped. But it has suspense. I found the story so sad at the end, a tragedy. For me was more a book about mental health and dysfunctional family dynamic. 3.75/3.8⭐️First book read by this author.

My first #bookspinbingo TBR of 2026! Hoping to start the year off right! I‘ve got a lot of exciting/stressful stuff coming up this year, including a lot of packing and a big move, and I‘m hoping reading can be my way to relax and stay calm. Thanks for doing this again @TheAromaofBooks !!

This is a second chance at love story. Police officer and love cynical Wren moves back to her hometown after being away for 19 years, and reconnects with her high school BF, Sam. Since Wren has been away, Sam has built up a reputation for being a man whore, and both of their current situations are a result of what drove them apart in high school.
