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 Sentence by Louise Erdrich

May 13, 2023May 10, 2023 michele

The Sentence asks what we owe to the living, the dead, to the reader and to the book. The Sentence by Louise Erdrich is a raw, poetic novel told about a book store that is haunted during the pandemic. This one is highly character driven, which I don't normally go for but I did enjoy.… Continue reading The Sentence by Louise Erdrich

May 9, 2023May 8, 2023 michele

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the “claustrophobic spine-tingler” (People) One by One returns with an unputdownable mystery following a woman on the search for answers a decade after her friend’s murder. I love a book that I don't have it all figured out right away, or at all. The It Girls by Ruth Ware is very… Continue reading The IT Girl by Ruth Ware

If your mother is the love of your life, what does that make your husband? One Italian Summer by Rebecca Serle is set in the Amalfi coast, need I say more?

May 3, 2023April 30, 2023 michele

A delightful rom-com about a woman who decides to revisit each of her seven exes, convinced that one of them is “the one who got away.” Have you ever thought about "The Ex Files" and if you missed out on a chance at "the one?" The premise of this story was very compelling. Esther is… Continue reading Seven Exes by Lucy Vine

All The Dangerous Things by Stacy Willingham

May 1, 2023April 28, 2023 michele

MEMORIES CAN BE DISTORTED AND SO CAN THE TRUTH. All The Dangerous Things by Stacy Willingham was a slow burn with unreliable characters. I loved the moody atmosphere and the tension that continually built throughout until the very end. I was so close to creating a board like Isabelle's to guess who the bad guy… Continue reading All The Dangerous Things by Stacy Willingham

Weyward by Emilia Hart

April 28, 2023April 26, 2023 michele

I am a Weyward, and wild inside. Weyward by Emilia Hart covers three main characters and three different time periods. I think Hart did an excellent job weaving together these stories. All three women are connected by blood. The author describes the setting down the the earthy smells at the family's grand family estate in… Continue reading Weyward by Emilia Hart

A novel of terrible first impressions, hilarious second chances, and the joy in finding your perfect match. "Yours Truly" by Abby Jimenez is going to be one of my Summer favorites! This is a book that I hugged multiple times. It has a premise that had me turning the pages until late, late, late (or… Continue reading Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez

Fault Lines by Emily Itami is an amazing debut novel that tackles love, marriage, and cultural identity in a way that's totally real and relatable. This one did start out slowly for me, but once I got into it I couldn't put it down. The story follows Mizuki, an aspiring Japanese singer turned housewife who… Continue reading Fault Lines by Emily Itami
