Author: michele

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. I am in 4 book clubs and my TBR is never ending. Do I hide new books from my family when I bring them home....maybe! So this page is a judgement free zone!

The Sunshine Girls by Molly Fader

January 30, 2024January 26, 2024 michele

The Sunshine Girls is another historical fiction that was a winner for me! It's a story about friendship and takes place in the 60-70's. This one had me hooked and I flew through this one. This goes back and forth thru time to tell the story. In the present time frame, a famous movie star… Continue reading The Sunshine Girls by Molly Fader

Mile High (Windy City #1) by Liz Tomforde

January 28, 2024January 26, 2024 michele

This is book #1 of The Windy City series. This was a hockey story about Zanders and Stevie. I read this book because I had someone wanting me to paint the edges of this one for them so I had to know what all the fuss was about. This is a typical hockey romance novel.… Continue reading Mile High (Windy City #1) by Liz Tomforde

Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline had been on my TBR for a long time. We read this for book club. This was a very touching story. If you like historical fiction this one is for you. Families looking for servants, farm labourers, or occasionally more children would come check out the orphans and see… Continue reading Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline

Tapping the Billionaire by Max Monroe

January 14, 2024January 12, 2024 michele

Tapping the Billionaire by a secret duo of romance authors that go by Max Monroe is a light, fun, sexy read. I didn't know what to expect going into this one and I think that was for the best. This isn't for serious readers who are averse to open door scenes. Kline Brooks and Georgia… Continue reading Tapping the Billionaire by Max Monroe

The Christmas Guest by Peter Swanson

January 6, 2024January 5, 2024 michele

If you haven't read Peter Swanson before, this is the perfect time to get this short book read. I don't read many novella's, but this one was right up my alley for a perfect Christmas mystery. It is the perfect break from all the romance I had been reading lately. The story's first half unfolds… Continue reading The Christmas Guest by Peter Swanson

None Of This Is True by Lisa Jewell

December 30, 2023December 27, 2023 michele

This is my favorite Lisa Jewell so far! None Of This Is True is a great suspenseful ride that will have you on the edge of your seat! Popular podcaster, Alix Summers, celebrates her birthday at a local restaurant when she runs into another person celebrating her birthday also, Josie Fair. Days later, the ladies… Continue reading None Of This Is True by Lisa Jewell

Fairy Tale by Stephen King

December 29, 2023December 27, 2023 michele

This isn't my typical genre but Fairy Tale by Stephen King was worth the read. I think it could have been 100-200 pages shorter, but still a classic King read. Charlie Reade is a typical teenage boy who is living with his father, as his mother died when he was younger. He is a baseball and… Continue reading Fairy Tale by Stephen King

The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield

December 28, 2023December 27, 2023 michele

This book was on my TBR for MANY years before finally this was a pick for book club! This one has an interesting premise. This was very much like a gothic Jane Eyre meets Rebecca. I honestly think reading what this is about might not be the best. It might be best to go into… Continue reading The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
