My name is Michele. I have been a long time book lover. I live in Watertown, SD. I'm married and have 5 kids and 2 grandkids. My favorite genre is mystery/thriller. But I read all genres.

Rules for the Summer by Meghan Quinn
Rules for the Summer was everything I expect from a Meghan Quinn romance—funny, flirty, and impossible to put down! I listened to the audiobook and flew through it thanks to the engaging story and excellent duet narration. Theo and Renley's chemistry was fantastic, the banter had me laughing, and the spice definitely delivered (as Meghan… Continue reading Rules for the Summer by Meghan Quinn
Start at the End by Emma Grey
Start at the End took me a little while to settle into with its sliding doors-style storytelling and dual POV, but once I found my footing, I was completely invested. At its heart, this is a story about second chances, love, and the choices we make—as well as the ones that are made for us.… Continue reading Start at the End by Emma Grey
The Christmas Yes List by Melissa Ferguson
I was laughing so hard by the end of the first chapter that I had tears in my eyes! The Christmas Yes List is the perfect feel-good holiday rom-com, full of laugh-out-loud moments, heart, and plenty of festive charm. Chloe's quest to collect ten "no's" before Christmas and James's commitment to saying "yes" to everything… Continue reading The Christmas Yes List by Melissa Ferguson
James by Percival Everett
James is one of those books that I can absolutely appreciate, even if it wasn't an instant favorite for me. I can clearly see why so many readers love it and why it's received so much praise. It's a good book—it just wasn't the right book for me. I'll admit that it took me a… Continue reading James by Percival Everett
It Audit Be You by Madylen Valdes
It Audit Be You was my first book by Madylen Valdes, and it definitely won't be my last! This was such a fun, easy read with a fast pace that kept me turning the pages. I flew through it because the story was entertaining from beginning to end, and I absolutely adored Louisa and Jackson.… Continue reading It Audit Be You by Madylen Valdes
Molka by Monika Kim
I don't typically reach for horror novels, but Molka felt like a different kind of horror to me. The true horror comes from how real the premise is. Knowing that the molka epidemic is based on something that actually happens made this story incredibly unsettling, and that feeling stayed with me long after I finished.… Continue reading Molka by Monika Kim
Nine Lives by Catherine Steadman
Catherine Steadman has done it again! Nine Lives is one of those psychological thrillers that slowly gets under your skin. At first, you're happily following along, and then suddenly it's way past your bedtime because you have to know how everything is going to come together. There are quite a few characters introduced throughout the… Continue reading Nine Lives by Catherine Steadman
Rites of the Starling (Shield of Sparrows #2) by Devney Perry
After absolutely loving Shield of Sparrows, I couldn't wait to dive into Rites of the Starling—and it did not disappoint. I loved this one almost as much as the first book. Now I desperately need book three... preferably yesterday! One of my favorite things about this installment is that it finally answers many of the… Continue reading Rites of the Starling (Shield of Sparrows #2) by Devney Perry
Lake Effect by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney
I've read Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney's previous two novels, so Lake Effect was an automatic pick for me—and it absolutely delivered the kind of layered family story I've come to expect from her. Set between the late 1970s and the present, this novel explores love, desire, family secrets, and the lasting impact of the choices we… Continue reading Lake Effect by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney
