I have been using Goodreads since 2015 so it's hard to imagine switching. But I've heard so much buzz lately about Storygraph that I think I am going to give it a 30 day trial to see if I would like that as well or more than Goodreads. Is it even possible for such a… Continue reading Goodreads vs. StoryGraph
This one reads like a literary mystery. How important can podcasts be in solving cold cases? Can one person's memory of a past event really hold the key to solving a case? Can adolescent memory be trusted? What if the person who should speak up, never does? These are all questions that I thought about… Continue reading I Have Some Questions For You by Rebecca Mekkai
This is the second book in The Housemaid series. I think this could be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the first book before reading this one. This one is also a thriller, also has some of the same characters as book one, and also contains some great twists. Millie is back to… Continue reading The Housemaid’s Secret by Freida McFadden
This is a classic JoJo Moyes touching, heartwarming, & funny story. This premise, although a little far fetched, did grab me and had me wondering how a shoe swap could be such a life changing event. Nisha is a rich wife & mother. Her son is away at school in America. And her husband suddenly… Continue reading Someone Else’s Shoes by JoJo Moyes
I don't know if I would classify this as a Rom-Com or a Cozy Mystery, but it was delightful. This is a humorous, laugh out loud story that I really enjoyed. This is a story about family who is always there for you, even when you don't think you need them. Maddeline (Meddy) Chan's mother… Continue reading Dial A For Aunties by Jesse Q. Sutanto

Off The Map by Trish Doller is book 3 in her series, but you don't have to read the previous books to read this one. Carla Black’s life motto is “here for a good time, not for a long time.” She’s been travelling the world on her own in her vintage Jeep Wrangler for nearly… Continue reading Off The Map by Trish Doller
This is a bit of a door stopper if you aren't prepared, with it being 548 pages, but worth the read. Age Of Vice is told in alternating characters and timelines. The story starts out with a little history of the main characters and then really gets into the action with the event that kicks… Continue reading Age Of Vice by Deepti Kapoor
I was very torn on how I felt about this anonymous memoir. It was a unique premise. Becoming Duchess Goldblatt tells 2 different stories. One side of her story is about her pain and grief she had to deal with. It was a raw, bleak account of loss. The other side of the story was… Continue reading Becoming Duchess Goldblatt by Anonymous
This is a cute story about family, the ones we are born with, and the ones who become our family by choice. I think this story was so absurdly funny in all the right ways. A group of ladies in Greenwich Village have to decide if they are friends or enemies after a baby comes… Continue reading The Sweet Spot by Amy Poeppel
