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 Late Mrs. Willoughby by Claudia Gray

August 30, 2023August 29, 2023 michele

The suspenseful sequel to The Murder of Mr. Wickham, which sees Jonathan Darcy and Juliet Tilney reunited, and with another mystery to solve: the dreadful poisoning of the scoundrel Willoughby's new wife. In all honesty, I didn't read the first book and it didn't affect my ability to enjoy this book. This can definitely be read as… Continue reading The Late Mrs. Willoughby by Claudia Gray

My Roommate Is A Vampire by Jenna Levine

August 27, 2023June 26, 2023 michele

This is a kooky, cute vampire rom-com. This is Jenna Levine's debut and she did an excellent job of entertaining me. This is a Flatshare meets Twilight type of book. Only much funnier and more ridiculous. This had me laughing so many times. Cassie Greenberg is an artist who isn't doing too well financially. She… Continue reading My Roommate Is A Vampire by Jenna Levine

Us Against You by Fredrik Backman

August 23, 2023August 21, 2023 michele

This is the follow-up to Beartown. I would suggest reading Beartown FIRST if you haven't read that before reading this one. This is about how a town can make hockey it's lifeblood. I felt like I could almost be living in this town. The excitement and tense feelings just jump right off the page. Have… Continue reading Us Against You by Fredrik Backman

The Chateau by Jaclyn Goldis

August 11, 2023August 8, 2023 michele

The Chateau was a crazy, thrill ride that I didn't know I needed. Seraphine Demargelasse is the ninety year old Grandma who is the owner of the Chateau. Her granddaughter, Darcy, hasn't seen Seraphine in a while or been to the Chateau in years. So Seraphine plans a girls weekend and invites 3 of Darcy's… Continue reading The Chateau by Jaclyn Goldis

The Postcard by Anne Berest

August 9, 2023August 8, 2023 michele

The Postcard was a great historical fiction, mixed with an autobiographical type story. This one left me shaking my head! THAT ENDING!! I didn't know if I should laugh or cry! The main character received a mysterious postcard with only four names on one side of the postcard. They are: Ephraim, Emma, Noemie, and Jacques.… Continue reading The Postcard by Anne Berest

Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood

August 2, 2023August 1, 2023 michele

This is an enemies to lovers trope that is in true Hazelwood style and I couldn't get enough of it. This has the huge hunky guy. The smart, cute, little scientist. And it also had enough drama to hook me in. Elsie is a Ph.D. in theoretical physics. She has a job as an adjunct… Continue reading Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood

Silver Nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

July 24, 2023July 21, 2023 michele

This was a very strange book about Mexican horror films and Nazi occultism. I didn't know what to think of this one. I have read Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia but this one was a little different. This had such an odd and sinister feel. I felt like I was watching one of those old… Continue reading Silver Nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

The Incredible Winston Brown by Sean Dietrich

July 21, 2023July 20, 2023 michele

This was a heartfelt story about a small town hero and is for anyone who has any interest in baseball. In this story, Winston Browne is a small town sheriff with a big heart. This takes place in the 50's in Florida. I thought the small town of Moab, FL with it's population of 912… Continue reading The Incredible Winston Brown by Sean Dietrich
