This was a pretty cute romance, but I loved the Irish setting of Galway most! And the cover is adorable!

I didn‘t see this one in the database. We‘re supposed to get snow today in NC so I wanted to start my morning with a fun Frozen audiobook! 😁

Okay, this was super addictive and I tore through the whole thing today. I agree with those who say Alex is toxic and a walking red flag - but I still rooted for him, even though I don‘t think I am supposed to. In that way, he reminded me of Joe Goldberg from You. 🤪
But I did like him and Ava together and how they helped each other with some pretty dark stuff. And the spice was off the charts! 🌶️

36 y/o Adele is engaged to the man of her dreams, but when her ex boyfriends start dying (in the order that she dated them), she wonders if her fiance is the murderer. Decent thriller and kept my interest throughout!

As a woman, wife, and mother, I will be thinking about this one for a while. The brutal rape of a 14 y/o Mexican girl rocks a community in 1976 Odessa, Texas. It‘s a time where women had few options and not much was expected of them, other than being good wives and mothers. Told from multiple POVs, all strong women and girls, and all great characters. The setting itself is written so strongly that it‘s like a character too.

A good MG story about a girl‘s soccer team who fight back when their sexist male coach crosses the line. It‘s kinda sad and infuriating though that a MG book had to be written about this subject, but I‘m glad it‘s out there for any young girls who might need it.

What fun! I will definitely be reading more of this historical fiction cozy series! Frances is an awesome character, bucking the norms of her time. She‘s recently widowed and decides to move and live independently, but it doesn‘t take long for her to get embroiled in a mystery, and the culprit may be one of her younger sister‘s suitors.

I had no idea what the hell was going on in this book, and I do love when that happens! I enjoyed the supernatural aspect, the homage to Rosemary‘s Baby, and how Unger made the apartment building seem like a character. Very atmospheric and twisty!

Loved this one! Margo is a character I immediately started rooting for. She‘s young and naive, but she tries to learn from her mistakes. Lots of character growth! This isn‘t a totally light read, as many heavy topics are addressed - addiction, sex work, and societal expectations for mothers among them. An overall great read!

Graceland: A Novel | Nancy Crochiere

Olivia, an elderly former soap star, asks her daughter Rachel, to drive her to Memphis to see Graceland one more time. Rachel refuses because she‘s vowed to never to return to Memphis after leaving when she was 18. Olivia then ropes her 16
y/o granddaughter, Dylan, into the trip, promising to uncover the truth behind a lie Rachel has been telling Dylan her whole life. This was good, fun family dysfunction!

Lauranahe As someone who grew up in Memphis, I get not wanting to go back! But mostly that‘s to move back; I still visit my family every summer. I‘m intrigued now though! Is there a lot of Memphis info/facts/places in this? 1mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 1mo
OriginalCyn620 @Lauranahe There‘s some Memphis info, probably not a lot. Other than some stuff about Graceland, there‘s also some about Beale Street, and that‘s about it. 1mo
