Bea is modeling in Morocco when she just has enough. She walks out on her shoot and gets attacked in an alleyway. A woman helps her escape and invites her to stay at her place, The Surf House. Bea feels safe there and begins to make friends when something happens to make Bea feel that there is something going on in the remote paradise.

I love all of Fiona‘s historical novels. I had no idea there was a real Frick House in NYC, but this is a fictional exploration of Lillian, a sculptors muse, who accidentally ends up being Helen Frick‘s personal assistant.

What if you could find your true love through a DNA match????

A cross between a spy book and Dan Brown

A group of folks are on a bus, headed to a remote lodge in the Rockies, when a storm hits and the bus can go no further. They end up trekking to a remote cabin they found and planned to stay there until they can get rescued. No help is coming though because there is someone determined that they never leave the cabin alive. An atmospheric locked-room mystery that is a book you don‘t want to put down.

Because on Sunday, I don‘t want to read anything hard😂

I thought NO EXIT was incredible. I can‘t even pass a rest area without thinking about that book. Now, Adams has done it again. This book is so intense and claustrophobic, I had to remind myself to breathe a few times. Caves, y‘all. I can‘t imagine ever wanting to go into a cave on purpose and because of this book, I won‘t ever do it for real. This is going to be on everyone‘s top 10 list when it‘s released.

The end of the BUTTERFLY GARDEN series🦋

100% coo-coo-for-cocoa-pops. This will be a top 10 for me. I‘m not sure I‘ve ever disliked a character so much, but I didn‘t let that stop me for enjoying the book. I dove. All in. Frenemies, mean girls and high school drama with a splash of Single White Female. I really loved it. But it is also awful, so be warned.

Considering that I live on the coast of Florida, I really shouldn‘t like books that feature hurricanes, but I do. This one is about a murder that uses the Hurricane as cover/reason someone dies.

I loved this book and read it in one sitting. Halston is a 22 year old woman who gets caught in a gambling scam and gets recruited to help steal a Picasso. All is not as it seems though, and there are so many red herrings that it made my head swivel. Fun read for the end of summer.

Three famous people enter a rehab facility on an island, where they are promised anonymity. The are on an exclusive island, hanging out in their cottages when they began to explore the area. We aren‘t sure what the real reasons are for their stay or what they have in common, but they begin to discover each other and the secrets they are hiding.

Enjoyed this one by Webb. I assume by the ending that this will be a series. Vera goes home to her small town when her stepmother is found dead in a cave, many years after going missing. The problem is that the cave is on her family property and Vera is willing to protect her family at all costs.

So weird but also good. Just go in blind and read it

Found a cute bookstore in St Augustine FL. It just opened on King St - MidnightMoon

I‘m off for 10 days! Whoooooo Hooooo. Camping with my hubby and dad for the next week with lots of reading 📚📖🫶

My Friday night reading 🥰

Starting this ARC

There is a good reason why @alicewriterland always hits my top 10 list in December. I was able to get an advanced copy of MY HUSBAND‘S WIFE and it‘s going to be the “It” book next year. I thought I knew where it was going, but it didn‘t. Very few books surprise me anymore and this one was masterful. Go get this on pre-sale now. It doesn‘t come out until January 2026 but I already know it‘s gonna be 🔥

Today‘s reading. This one has been on my bookshelf forever!

Beach reading 🥰

Okay, this book is weird. You will either love it or hate it. As someone who reads a lot of thrillers, the uniqueness of the storyline makes me want to give it a lot of love. The plot sounds normal: ten strangers locked in a house where someone is killing them one by one….okay, so? Well, it‘s not what you think and it doesn‘t go where you think it goes. This one will probably make my top 10 for 2025.

Creepy cult? ✅ Fancy location? ✅ Starting this ARC today

I thought A Little Life was heart wrenching. This book is so awful in the best possible way. My heart raced, I cried, and I had to put the book down many times. The worst child abuse imaginable and even then sometimes the author would refuse to write it. The fact that it is a fictionalized version of a real story? I can‘t even comprehend these monsters.

Nothing better than reading with the sound of waves💙

Advanced copy - Amy McCulloch is becoming a favorite of mine for athletic thrillers (running, climbing, etc)

*Ignore hubby‘s leg* Twins, Bel and Rose, are taken in by their rich grandmother after losing their mom. Grandmother ships them off to boarding school where they try to fit in. Bel starts running with a wild crowd and gets involved in a school prank that causes a lot of other things to happen. I enjoyed this one but lots of trigger warnings (you can find them in other reviews, I consider them spoilers).

I don‘t usually love sci-fi but I like Blake Crouch

You don‘t notice when she walks in your office to bring you lunch, you don‘t filter your phone calls when she is tidying up your office; she knows your passwords and your phone lock screens. She has access to your bank account and manages your kids schedule. But the Secretary knows all of your SECRETS and she has the ability to destroy the company you‘ve built.

Picking up my hold at the library and the book smells like cigarettes 🤮@bookmarktavern #SundayFunday

It‘s a swashbuckling read that is part James Bond and part Pirates of the Caribbean.

A famous author is on tour and during her last stop a stranger stands up and walks out. The author sees the man leave and suddenly faints. She did something bad when she was younger and now the people in her life could find out the truth.
I enjoyed this one, even though I figured out the twist.

This biography of Tiger Woods was interesting. He is so private and I always wondered what his fellow PGA players thought about him. I enjoyed reading about the behind the scenes relationships with his caddies, Butch, Nike, and his family. You also see just how tough he is as he trained with Navy Seals and was interested in joining the military at one time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Starting this one tonight

Reading this Advanced Reader Copy but struggling a bit with the story. I want to love every ARC I get 😩

Beach weekend and this book is so good. Love reading while listening to the waves 💙🌊🌊

Spent the weekend camping and reading ❤️

I've only been to Vegas once, back in the 80's, but these stories are intriguing and interesting. How did the little wedding chapel get its start? Want to know the back story about the major developers in Vegas? What about the Elvis impersonator who left Texas in a pink Cadillac to make major bank marrying folks on the strip? A fun read about the stories that make Vegas...well, Vegas.

It‘s spring break season here in Florida, so staying at home today and reading

I received an advanced copy (squeal!) so digging into this tonight

This will be published in May - Eszter goes on a vacation to a remote island in Mexico and dies. Her partner, Abby, was supposed to meet her a few days later at the island and doesn‘t understand what happened to her girlfriend. She gets to the island and begins asking questions, which is a bad idea. Lots of trigger warnings, but it was overall a good read.

I love a book that makes you scream, “WHAT??????”
