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

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

Winter’s Bone by Daniel Woodrell

May 19, 2023May 17, 2023 michele

Daniel Woodrell's modern classic is an unforgettable tale of desperation and courage that inspired the award-winning film starring Jennifer Lawrence.  Winter's Bone has a Southern Noir feel to it that was hard to get into at first. I went into this knowing very little about this book so it had such a gritty feel to… Continue reading Winter’s Bone by Daniel Woodrell
