Rating: 5 / 5 It is safe to say I am a big Riley Sager fan and that he is one of my auto read authors. HOME BEFORE DARK was therefore one of my most anticipated summer reads and I'm thrilled to say it did not disappoint! HOME BEFORE DARK's Maggie Holt is the daughter… Continue reading HOME BEFORE DARK by Riley Sager
Rating: 5 / 5 I loved Elizabeth Acevedo's THE POET X and WITH THE FIRE ON HIGH, so when I heard she had a new book coming out I immediately preordered a copy. For this one, knowing that it was in verse I knew I wanted both the physical copy and the audio as well,… Continue reading CLAP WHEN YOU LAND by Elizabeth Acevedo
Rating: 3.5 / 5 I had not heard of SONGS FROM THE DEEP by Kelly Powell prior to receiving it in an Unplugged Book Box but the cover immediately caught my eye and the premise drew me in. I was in need of a change of pace read and was in a mystery mood, so… Continue reading SONGS FROM THE DEEP by Kelly Powell
Rating: 4.5 / 5 FORCE OF NATURE by Jane Harper has been waiting on my shelves for quite a while. I loved her other books THE LOST MAN and THE DRY in 2019, so was both excited about this one and also a little hesitant to pick it up because it was the last book… Continue reading FORCE OF NATURE by Jane Harper
September felt like it was a bit of a slower reading month for me, but I read some great books. I wound up reading 25 books and I'm very happy with that. I also had some big distractions this month in the form of the extra pup living in my house for half the month!… Continue reading A look back at September…
August had some ups and downs for my reading. A few heavy books (weight wise, content wise) made my progress feel slower, but I also had some fantastic reads that flew by. Two readathons during the month helped as well. I wound up reading 28 books this month which is more than I had originally… Continue reading A look back at August…
Another month passed by in a blur! It started off a bit slow, but fun with 4th of July, but my reading picked up later in the month. I gave myself a long 'just because' 3-day weekend and participated in a couple readathons which helped me pick up my pace. I wound up reading 23… Continue reading A look back at July…

Yet again, another month is flying right by! I hope your reading month is goin gwell (and your month in general too)! It has been kind of a slow reading month for me (after a ridiculously busy reading month in June). The first weekend of the year was full of fun and friends, but not… Continue reading Mid-Month Check In…
Rating: 4 / 5 The Popsugar Reading Challenge for 2019 included a challenge to read a book during the season in which it is set. Summer is the season where I tend to read what I think of as 'season appropriate' books. I wound up selecting STARRY EYES by Jenn Bennett. What can be more… Continue reading STARRY EYES by Jenn Bennett
