The Quiet Tenant by Clemence Michallon

The Quiet Tenant gives us a new take on serial killers that will make you think twice of the quiet, nice guy. The premise of this one hooked my right away.

The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese

October 11, 2023October 10, 2023 michele

The Covenant of Water is a door stopper that I wasn't sure was worth my time. I switched from print to audio to finish this one. The writing style is very lyrical and it is very slow moving but the characters are impressive. This book starts with an interesting premise. That someone in each generation… Continue reading The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese

Us Against You by Fredrik Backman

August 23, 2023August 21, 2023 michele

This is the follow-up to Beartown. I would suggest reading Beartown FIRST if you haven't read that before reading this one. This is about how a town can make hockey it's lifeblood. I felt like I could almost be living in this town. The excitement and tense feelings just jump right off the page. Have… Continue reading Us Against You by Fredrik Backman

June 12, 2023June 11, 2023 michele

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

Regretting You by Colleen Hoover

June 6, 2023June 5, 2023 melanie

“Relationships are hard for that very reason. Your body and your heart don’t stop finding the beauty and the attraction in other people simply because you’ve made a commitment to one person. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you’re drawn to someone else, it’s up to you to remove yourself from that… Continue reading Regretting You by Colleen Hoover
