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!

This was the book I didn't know I needed. A captivating novel unfolds the story of four young friends as they navigate the competitive realm of classical music, exploring the intricate web of ambition, passion, and love that weaves through the tapestry of their lives.

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

It’s a Date – Again by Jeneva Rose

December 5, 2023December 4, 2023 michele

This is my first experience with Jeneva Rose and I was not disappointed. It's a Date again was a laugh out loud type of book that can't be taken too seriously. (I mean this girl lost her memory and is dating 3 guys) But this was fun and heart felt in the right ways. I… Continue reading It’s a Date – Again by Jeneva Rose

Mr. Fixer Upper by Lucy Score

November 28, 2023November 27, 2023 michele

Mr. Fixer Upper is an enemy to lovers trope and I just loved this. This was done in a typical Lucy Score fashion, where the guy is sexy, handy, and the right amount of dirty. This is Paige and Gannon's story. I just adored the constant battle on set between sexy home renovation reality star… Continue reading Mr. Fixer Upper by Lucy Score

November 26, 2023November 21, 2023 michele

If you are looking for a cozy Whodunit mystery this is for you! This wasn't really a thriller, but more of a nice, comfortable ride to find out who the bad guy was with your family members who you love, but don't always like. In the heartwarming tale of "Mother-Daughter Murder Night," we're introduced to… Continue reading Mother -Daughter Murder Night by Nina Simon
