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!

In The Lives of Puppets by T.J. Klune

July 9, 2023July 7, 2023 michele

What would happen if computers & machines evolved? "How does one arrive at the decision to kill God?" TJ Klune is a master with this genre. This is a sci-fi with a Pinocchio feel to it. The characters were so inventive and the plot was snappy. In The Lives of Puppets is one that will… Continue reading In The Lives of Puppets by T.J. Klune

Hello Stranger by Katherine Center

Love isn’t blind, it’s just little blurry. Katherine Center has outdone herself in Hello Stranger. This is a light read that could easily be a beach read or a rainy day read. Her ability to make us care for her characters is impressive. Sadie is a portrait artist who recently won a prestigious portrait competition.… Continue reading Hello Stranger by Katherine Center

Love in the Time of Serial Killers by Alicia Thompson

June 25, 2023June 23, 2023 michele

This isn't your typical romance. The main character is obsessed with serial killers. But this one had me hooked and laughing throughout. I enjoyed the witty, quirky way this was written. If you have a sense of humor that is a little sideways and you enjoy romance, you will like this one! Phoebe comes from… Continue reading Love in the Time of Serial Killers by Alicia Thompson

The Island by Victoria Hislop

June 22, 2023June 21, 2023 michele

I thought the first half of this book was very slow and could have had 100 pages taken out. The last half of the book was amazing. If this wouldn't have been a book club book, I may have DNF'd this one, but I am glad I stuck with it. This was a slow burn.… Continue reading The Island by Victoria Hislop

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

June 14, 2023December 5, 2023 michele

I couldn't get a hard copy of this right away so I listened to the audio to see if this lived up to the hype. And at first, there was a bit of world and character building so I wasn't immediately drawn in. But then, the chemistry between characters picked up so I was hooked… Continue reading Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

This was such a good humoured book and just what I needed right now. This has characters you can get to know and love. It is light and funny. The pacing is pretty quick. We read this for book club, so I hope most people like this one. This one starts out with 84 year… Continue reading The Mostly True Story of Tanner and Louise by Colleen Oakley
