pickI loved this so much! I completely understood the extremely close relationship that Katie had with her Mother and how she felt completely lost after her passing.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickThis book is STUNNING. One of the strangest stories I‘ve ever read, but it approaches love and loss with unflinching rawness and honesty. If you would have told me a book about a man mutating into a shark would be one of my favourite books of the year, I would have laughed at you. But, here we are. It‘s poetry. It‘s prose. It‘s art and paint and canvas. It‘s a love story. But mostly about self love and selfless love. Read it. Five stars.
Visited a new local bookshop and chatted with the guy who runs a local writers group there. And of course got a few new books! I can never resist.
so-soMeryl is a dream, but 80% of the way through I realized that I felt no connection to any of the characters (or a really strong grasp on any of them?) and I felt incredibly bored. Sped through the rest. I wanted to like this more! 2.5 ⭐️ 🎧
pick5-7-24: My 12th finished book of 2024! I love A.M.Homes. Claire is a therapist who is married with 2 sons. Back in 1966, she was forced to give her daughter up for adoption. Jody is a twenty-something film intern/student who becomes Claire‘s patient and her obsession. Could Jody be Claire‘s long lost daughter? Homes always make you feel uncomfortable, which feels real. I love that about her. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣1️⃣2️⃣
“Because that's the one thing women are never, ever allowed to be. We can be sad, distraught, confused, pleading, forgiving. But not furious. Fury is reserved for other people. The worst thing you can be is an angry woman, an angry mother.”

A mother seeks justice for the murder of her 12 year old daughter. Dark and disturbing set in a small town with lots of secrets. I had to stop myself from jumping ahead to see what happened!
Starting this audiobook. I‘m so excited that Lauren Graham is the narrator. Love her!
pickGrace is 49, in prison on death row, for a crime she did not commit (as far as we know). She‘s writing a journal for her daughter, who disappeared after Mom was convicted. When execution nears, events transpire that will shake up everyone directly or indirectly involved. Captivating and suspenseful

I love it when everything matches 🖤🤍🖤 I just noticed the trees on the cover match the bookmark 🖤 I try to keep him off the table, but y‘all know how that goes! I guess it‘s good it‘s getting used!

They died during a freak April snowstorm, blood pooling on a patchy bed of white.
Idk why I chose this one from the shelf. Her first book was great so I have high expectations!
