I‘m heading to 5 days at the beach over Xmas/Hanukkah. What is the correct number of books to pack… somewhere between 1 and 7? But 7 is probably too many? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Julies_Bookshelf_Adventures I usually go with 5. Then sometimes pick up another book at the airport 😅 you‘ve got some great choices, I‘d take them all if you have the room! 📚 5h
TheBookgeekFrau 7 - better to have extra and not need them, then to need them and not have them 📚 4h

I usually love a friend to lovers books, but I got a little frustrated with the dynamic between Jasmine and Rahul and how long it took in their friendship before they really communicated.

A suspenseful True Crime books about the search for justice in a famous Alaskan murder case. I felt so much sympathy for the people affected by this tragedy, and was appalled by the way the police originally handled the case. ⤵️

CoffeeK8 Overall, a well written book, but I found the way the timeline jumped around occasionally hard to follow and had to go back to re-read to confirm which year was being discussed. That being said, I would highly recommend this book to any true crime fan.

Thanks to #Netgalley and Sourcebook for this ARC in exchance for an honest review.

A fascinating look at Munchausen by Proxy through the stories of 3 different women and the trauma they put their families through. This book was heartbreaking at times, and I‘m amazed at the courage of the children who made it out the other side. Thanks to #Netgalley for the arc.

Book‘s not in the database… An interesting take on a pandemic thriller set on my favorite vacation island from my childhood. Kelly‘s Island in Lake Erie. The story was great, but it could have used another run through with an editor for a couple characters that felt a stereotyped. #readyourkindle

This was a chilling dual-timeline book that was perhaps a little too grim for me to be reading this week. I‘m reading through a backlog of old #netgalley requests, so also thanks to NetGalley for this book. #readyourkindle

This book had an interesting concept, as a blend of true crime and fiction, but it didn‘t quite work for me. Between a pick and a so-so because I‘d love to see what the author does next.

This book is between a pick and a so/so for me. I think that Allessandra really forgave her husband too quickly and they both could have used some serious couple‘s counseling.

This book just rubbed me the wrong way. From the moment the heroine starts her first class and discusses how useless and stupid Anthropology is and the hero gets all his friends to lie to her face over and over again, I just couldn‘t root for either one of them. They deserved each other.
