Book Review: The Paris Notebook by Tessa Harris
I enjoyed Tessa Harris’ book The Light We Left Behind so I was optimistic about The Paris Notebook as well — especially with such a vibrant cover! While I can’t say it surpassed The Light We Left Behind for me, it was still quite an interesting read…

Book Review: The Spectacular by Fiona Davis
As expected from Fiona Davis, The Spectacular has a stunning NYC backdrop. I didn’t even read the synopsis when I picked up this book. I saw Radio City Music Hall on the cover and didn’t care to know more. Plus, having read The Magnolia Palace, I figured it was a safe bet…

Book Review: No One Saw It Coming by Susan Lewis
Complicated family dynamics, secrets, murder, twists, mental health… Intriguing stuff here!…

Book Review: The Bachelorette Party by Carissa Ann Lynch
At a glance, I was super intrigued by the synopsis of this whodunit book. It didn’t take me long to realize my personality is the opposite of the characters (which I suppose is good under the circumstances?)…

Book Review: The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie
I’m pretty sure this was my first Agatha Christie book (how bad is it that I don’t remember…) and my expectations were high after a lifetime of hearing about her and her mysteries. It’s easy to see how she became an original master of the genre, but as someone who’s read so many other mysteries…

Book Review: Traitors Gate by Jeffrey Archer
I’d forgotten from the last Jeffrey Archer book I read how much I enjoyed his writing style. Traitors Gate is the sixth book in the Detective William Warwick series…

Book Review: Some Kind of Happiness by Claire Legrand
I definitely did not expect to like a middle-grade book as much as I loved this one. What I wouldn’t have given to come across a book like this when I was a preteen. As I read, I felt I’d reverted back to my younger self, screaming, “This person gets it!!!”…

Book Review: Good Bad Girl by Alice Feeney
I look forward to Alice Feeney’s books every year. After being blown away by Daisy Darker last year, I’ve spent most of 2023 counting the months until I could read Good Bad Girl. Though the book overall had a much different tone than what I’ve become accustomed to with this author, I still loved it…
