This was a fast paced thriller about hope, loss, & the secrets in marriage. It was tense but also sad at times. A content warning: this one talks about IVF, miscarriage, & pregnancy issues. It doesn't go into too much detail but miscarriage and loss is a theme in this book. I highly enjoyed this… Continue reading It’s One Of Us by J.T. Ellison

I have been using Goodreads since 2015 so it's hard to imagine switching. But I've heard so much buzz lately about Storygraph that I think I am going to give it a 30 day trial to see if I would like that as well or more than Goodreads. Is it even possible for such a… Continue reading Goodreads vs. StoryGraph
