Rating: 5 / 5 My introduction to reading Tana French was a buddy read of THE WITCH ELM by Tana French with a Goodreads group. This was in the very early days of my bookstagram and well before starting this blog. There was much that I liked about the book, but as a whole I… Continue reading IN THE WOODS by Tana French
Rating: 3 / 5 Though I have read some Sherlock Holmes in the past, it was long ago. When I saw that #thebakerstreetbookclub group on Instagram was picking up the first in the Sherlock series, I signed up. A STUDY IN SCARLET by Arthur Conan Doyle begins with the famous pair Sherlock and Watson first meeting… Continue reading A STUDY IN SCARLET by Arthur Conan Doyle
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's Maggie Holt is the daughter… Continue reading HOME BEFORE DARK by Riley Sager
Rating: 4.5 / 5 I have been wanting to read something by Attica Locke for a while now and BLUEBIRD, BLUEBIRD has been sitting on my shelf to get to for over a year.

Rating: 3.5 / 5 ROSEWATER by Tade Thompson was the July book for the Deep Dark Reads buddy read on Instagram. This is a buddy read that introduces me to new authors and books that haven't been on my radar, so I immediately took advantage of my newly semi-reopened library to get a copy! ROSEWATER… Continue reading ROSEWATER by Tade Thompson

Rating: 3.5 / 5 I always love reading about places I've never been, so finding a book partially set in Antarctica in my adult Once Upon a Book Club book box definitely fit the bill! HOW THE PENGUINS SAVED VERONICA by Hazel Prior is not a book that had previously made it onto my radar,… Continue reading HOW THE PENGUINS SAVED VERONICA by Hazel Prior
Rating: 4 / 5 I received BY THE BOOK by Amanda Sellet in my YA Once Upon a Book Club box. This wasn't a book I was familiar with prior to opening the box, but reading that the main character is a girl in love with reading sold me right away! BY THE BOOK follows… Continue reading BY THE BOOK by Amanda Sellet

Rating: 4 / 5 I have not read too many books that focus on the point in history where wagon trains were making their dangerous way across the Oregon Trail to California.
