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!

Funny Story by Emily Henry

May 18, 2024May 3, 2024 michele

I have read all Emily Henry's books so this book was a no brainer! This is the forced proximity trope that I adore. This one starts out a little heartbreaking but it ends upbeat so it's worth the ride. This one starts out with Daphne and her then fiancé, Peter, telling the story of how… Continue reading Funny Story by Emily Henry

The Rom-Commers by Katherine Center

May 11, 2024April 26, 2024 michele

Katherine Center is an automatic read for me! She writes characters that come alive and that I care for and root for. The Rom-Commers was no exception. Emma Wheeler is a screen writer who wishes she could use her talent but is dedicated to taking care of her father. Her father was injured in a camping… Continue reading The Rom-Commers by Katherine Center

I Must Betray You by Ruta Sepetys

May 1, 2024April 23, 2024 michele

This was an eye-opening book! If you haven't read this one you SHOULD! I could not put this book down about the communist regime in Romania. In 1989, Romania is ruled by dictator, Nicalae Ceausescu. I didn't realize that was a fact. This is a fictional story but based in facts. Cristian Florescu and his family… Continue reading I Must Betray You by Ruta Sepetys
