SistahsREAD Sunday was a treat! @a_will_dimples hosted us as we discussed #YouAreYourBestThing @taranajaneen and @brenebrown ! We made revolutionary cocktails, did breath work, embraced our “spaghetti stained containers”, created art, and vulnerably shared some of the shame we’ve experienced and are working to overcome.

I CHEERFULLY REFUSE | Thank you so much @groveatlantic for my gifted copy. This is already out now! In the not too distant future, a mysterious newcomer arrives in town and boards up at an older couple's house. After an unfortunate event, our MC's wife is killed and our MC, Rainy, flees on an old sailboat. There's a parallel journey taken with I CHEERFULLY REFUSE to Don Quixote where our MC devolves into a deeper and deeper world of ridiculousness as the story progresses. What ensues reminded me of pirate tales in a future setting with very old-time vibes - the mix between past and future converges into this weird nexus of familiar yet bizarre. There is mention of cell phones and other technologies that make this feel contemporaneous, but it's not. We know that the world is in a future wrecked by climate change and huge financial disparity. Desperate people commit suicide by ingesting a poisonous drug called Willow like they belong in a cult. The bulk of the journey is on a boat where people can and are taken captive like booty. I enjoyed the relationship between Rainy and the 9 year old girl, Sol. There were parts of the journey that I found more interesting, mostly after Sol has arrived. But I felt like notable parts of the story were left undefined or very hazily drawn. The wife is killed so suddenly and without much grief. Similarly, how does one like Werryck exist, who has not slept for 17 (or 42!) years? And why did he think having a bass play would put him to sleep? It felt whimsical and adventurous but in some parts I felt very much adrift. Let me know if you plan to pick this one up!

Book #19 The Secret of Poppyridge Cove by Rimmy London 📚 Book Description 📚 A hauntingly beautiful seaside mansion has been abandoned for decades... and for good reason. When Abby stumbles on the crumbling estate, she's uncommonly drawn to it. Even the chilling sight of decaying animals on the back porch or the two million dollar price tag isn't enough to keep her away. Her boyfriend, Chase can't understand why she'd want to spend more than two seconds at the dilapidated building, but there's something calling to her, and she's willing to risk even their relationship to discover it. Through a surprising twist, she's granted a way to purchase the building, and she takes the risk. But even if her wishes are coming true, there may be an ulterior motive behind the mysterious benefactor. Neighbors and friends alike are suspect in Abby's strange happily ever after. But above all the mysteries, the one treasure she discovers is most important could be the one thing she stands to lose. A thrilling escape to the wild Northern California coastline and redwood forests. Join Abby as she first enters the mansion with a heart full of dreams and longing, only to realize she may have left the very best things behind her. 🔖 #book #books #bookstagram #books #stackofbooks #bookworm #book #bookish #reading #bibliophile #booknerd #booksofinstagram #read #bookaddict #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookshelf #bookaholic #reader #bookphotography #instabook #bookblogger #readersofinstagram #goodreads #instagood #avidreader #idratherbereading #booksparks #totalbooknerd #ilovebooks #bookblog #bookishgirl

𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄! ⠀ ⠀ 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘉𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴 by Lucy Gilmore is a story so full of heart and emotion! You’ll meet Chloe Sampson, a young librarian juggling the care of her three younger siblings, financial struggles, and a job that doesn’t quite fulfill her dreams. But fate intervenes when she stumbles upon a rare edition of a book from the 1960s at a local flea market. However, this book holds more than just literary value - surprisingly handwritten romantic notes are found on the inside. Chloe begins to play book detective and sets off on a mystery and some special discoveries along the way. ⠀ What Chloe can’t expect, is that the key to this mystery lies next door: her cranky neighbor, Jasper Holmes. Initially the stereotypical curmudgeon, Jasper surprises Chloe by offering a substantial sum for the book. It becomes clear that he was one of the lovers who exchanged messages in the margins. As they delve into the past, Chloe discovers that Jasper’s heart is more complex than she ever imagined. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘥 𝘉𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴 weaves together two timelines—the present day and 1960—creating a heartwarming tale of love, friendship, and found family. Lucy Gilmore masterfully portrays characters with depth, including Chloe’s quirky siblings and the enigmatic Jasper. There is an authenticity to this story that leaves readers with a sense of optimism. ⠀ If you believe that love stories can blossom in the most unexpected places, this novel is a must-read. Lucy Gilmore’s writing effortlessly transports you to a world where books connect lonely souls across generations. Thank you @netgalley, @sourcebookscasa , and @dreamscape_media for the audio arc of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘉𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴. Kudos to the narrators - Leanne Woodward, Aven Shore, Joe Jameson, and Bob Ball. Their narration allowed for the book to move so seamlessly through time periods. This book releases tomorrow and if you enjoy books about books, you’ll want to pick this one up!

BOOK • REVIEW Title: Do Your Worst Author: Rosie Danan Genre: Paranormal Romance This was a cute, quick romance read. I loved the setting of the castle in Scotland and all of the mystery and magic that this story had. In this book Riley tries to make a career out of her family tradition of curse breaking. She travels to Scotland to a haunted castle to try and break a 300+ year old curse. Upon her arrival so goes to a pub and meets a handsome Englishman. The next day at work, she walked into the castle to find the same man from the night before trying to get her fired… The setting and all of the history surrounding curses and how to break them was interesting. Those were some of my favorite aspects in the story overall. I didn’t hate the characters, but I didn’t love them either. However, I did enjoy watching their relationship grow as the story progressed. This was a typical enemies to lovers plot without any surprises, but it was still an enjoyable read. Read this if you like: ✔️ Enemies to lovers ✔️ Forced proximity ✔️ Insta love ✔️ Workplace romance ✔️ Open door ✔️ Scotland setting QOTD: Do you believe in curses?

Прочитанные книги за апрель: (total books: 7) ▪️ «Пикник на обочине» - А. и Б. Стругацкий - простая, атмосферная, русская фантастика; ▪️ «Человек в футляре» - А. П. Чехов - актуальный для нашего 21-ого века поколения рассказ. Спасибо сестре @phantasmagorija что посоветовала; ▪️ «Темные аллеи» - И. Бунин - я просто в восторге. Зачитывалась с самых первых страниц. Такую книгу можно перечитывать постоянно, хотя у меня есть парочка вопросов к Бунину;😄 ▪️ «Хищник» и «Жнец» - Руникс ( “The Predator” & “The Reaper” by Runyx) - хочу ли я стереть себе память и еще раз прочитать? Однозначно - да! Ментально я уже замужем за Тристана Кейна и не о чем не жалею. Я закончила книгу и сразу же села перечитывать. Эта та книга, при прочтении которой я останавливалась, прижимала книгу к груди и визжала как девченка. ♥️🔥 ▪️ «Тебе больно?» - Х. Д. Карлтон (“Does it hurt? By H. D. Carlton) - нууууу…… сюжет спасали только красочно описанные постельные сцены;😄🔞 ▪️ «Пепел и проклятый звездный король» - К. Бродбент (“The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King” by C. Broadbent) - от первой книги мы с @youngaswild оторваться не могли, а вот вторая часть оказалось очень слабой.🥲 #apathyreads

International @thebookerprizes Shortlist I started reading ‘What I’d rather not think about’ by Jente Posthuma translated by Sarah Timmer Harvey, on the weekend. The narrator is a twin whose brother has recently taken his own life. She looks back on their childhood, and talks about their adult lives and how her brother tried to find happiness. As bleak as this sounds, there are some really funny bits. I am loving this book. It’s not as bleak as Baby Reindeer 👀. I binged it alone (why oh why sarah) and am still traumatised but that’s a whole other post… *missing from this pile is ‘Mater 2-10’ by Hwang Sok- Yong Follow @thebookerprizes or visit thebookerprizes.com to find out more about the Reading Challenge.

[how many siblings do you have, if any?] 📚𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪📚 𝑴𝒚 𝑳𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑾𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑩𝒐𝒚𝒔 𝑏𝑦 𝐴𝑙𝑖 𝑁𝑜𝑣𝑎𝑘 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you @penguinbooksyasa @penguinbooksyasa for gifting me this book as part of the Penguin YA Book Club. • This was our first Book Club read of the year, in preparation for the Netflix series that was recently released. • In all honesty, I didn’t even realise this was a Wattpad book until about halfway through when I read the blurb to my girlfriend and she said “wasn’t that a Wattpad book?” And i was like ????? So I googled it and apparently it was, and I wouldn’t have guessed. • Anyyyywaaaays! I really enjoyed reading this book. It kept me curious about where it was going and although it was a little frustrating/annoying at times (I’m looking at you @ Jackie ), it was an enjoyable story with fun characters and a cool setting - despite the way it started, with the death of Jackie’s family. Because of the way it started, I was admittedly expecting a bit more of a somber and emotional journey - more of a drama than the romance and coming-of-age vibes it actually gave. Plus it was fun to read about and get to know all the different Walter boys and their diverse characters. I only have 1 brother, and he's already enough for me, so I can't imagine living with all those boys! Although my mom always wanted a big family, but maybe not quite this big. • It was an easy and fun read and I do recommend it to those looking for an all-round good story. I am admittedly yet to watch the series, but I’ll let you know how that goes!

FYI: some advanced copies of Tess Woods magnificent forthcoming ‘The Venice Hotel’ might be winging their way to lucky readers … we recommend pairing them with a cuppa and some Arnott’s Venetian biscuits 😉 🎭🛶❤️🎭 BLURB; Set over the twelve days of Christmas at a boutique Venice hotel, this deliciously twisty novel by acclaimed Australian author is ideal for fans of ‘Nine Perfect Strangers’ and ‘The White Lotus.’ When the lives of four very different women become entangled in a boutique Venice hotel, dark secrets unravel and not everyone who checked into the hotel will check out again. Signora Loretta Bianchi, the world famous cook at Venice’s Hotel Il Cuore, is forced to choose between once-in-a-lifetime passion and her devoted husband. Sophie, on assignment in Venice as a food writer, finds a lot more than Signora Bianchi’s secret recipes to love, but what is the charming Rocco hiding? Law graduate Elena is sinking just like the endangered city she’s returned home to, and she’ll stop at nothing to be free from her marriage. Grandmother Gayle’s dream Venetian holiday turns sinister as she finds herself embroiled in a life or death escape. Set against a backdrop of the romance and tragedy of magical Venice, #TheVeniceHotel explores the powerful bonds that develop between women in times of crisis, and the healing power of female connection. 🎭❤️ And check out these endorsement quotes: ‘I completely fell in love with the women of the Venice Hotel’ —Nicola Moriarty ‘A love letter to a gorgeous city, crafted with such rich detail, I felt I knew every character to the core.’ — Melina Marchetta ‘The perfect combination of juicy drama and heartrending emotion’ – Rachael Johns 🤩 if you’d like an ARC, ask your friendly neighbourhood @penguinbooksaus rep 👍 otherwise, out on September 3! #TessWoods #bookish #bookme #books #instabooks #instabook #reading #totalbooknerd #reading #read #bibliophile #bookworm #bookstagram #book #bookblogger #book #bookphotography #Venice #Venetian #VenetianBiscuits

Book title: House of Sky and Breath Author: Sarah J Maas Genre: Fantasy, Romance Date finished: April 28, 2024 Star rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ Review (Spoiler Free): I just finished this book a few minutes ago, and I’m at a loss for words to describe how I feel, but please bear with me. I wish i could craft an elaborate review about the first 68 chapters of this book because they’re brimming with incredible plot twists and captivating moments that kept me on the edge of my seat, making this book an absolute gem. However, let me tell you, the final 10 chapters of this book utterly DESTROYED ME. I feel like they scrambled my brain. The characters in this book were so well-developed, and I adored how their arcs unfolded. But then, the story took an unexpected, monumental turn that completely altered everything. Initially, I hadn’t planned on diving into the next book right away, but at this moment, I don’t think I can resist. - #reading #booknerd #booksofinstagram #bookclub #readingtime #bookphoto #readabook #totalbooknerd #getlit #bookrecommendations #greatreads #iread #fortheloveofreading #booksaremagic #idratherbereading #currentreads #booksarelove #momswhoread #bookblog #goodreads #bookblogging #booknerdigans #booksofinsta #ireadbooks #bookstagram

🎧📚 AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: The Guncle by Steven Rowley, narrated by the author ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ "Why do you like boys?” Grant asked sourly, but with slightly more boredom than judgment. “I don’t know, why do you like pizza?” “Because it tastes good in my mouth.” Patrick wasn’t about to go anywhere near that. 🏳️‍🌈🏜️⚰️👧👦🏊‍♀️🐩 THOUGHTS: I am a sucker for the "childless person becomes a caregiver" trope. That being said.... Full disclosure, I disliked the beginning of this book, a LOT. I found Patrick to be obnoxious and insufferable with the whole "Making references to things that a child would not understand and being personally offended that they don't get your reference" schtick. He felt like a Will and Grace castoff. But a friend of mine who LOVED the book begged me to stick with it. I'm glad I did, because... I ended up really enjoying The Guncle?!? About a third through, I found myself utterly charmed, and that feeling never let go. Patrick dealing with his trauma and loss, learning how to be a person again instead of just a charicature... it was really well done. And the supporting cast was truly lovely. Those kids are so darn CUTE. There's a sequel coming out later this year and I'm really excited about it! 🏳️‍🌈🏜️⚰️👧👦🏊‍♀️🐩 SUMMARY: Patrick has always loved his niece, Maisie, and nephew, Grant. That is, he loves spending time with them when they come out to Palm Springs for visits, or when he heads home to Connecticut for holidays. But in terms of caretaking and relating to two kids, no matter how adorable, Patrick is honestly a bit out of his league. So when tragedy strikes and Maisie and Grant lose their mother and Patrick’s brother checks into rehab, Patrick finds himself suddenly taking on the role of guardian. Patrick has no idea what to expect, having spent years barely holding on after the loss of his great love, a stalled career, and a lifestyle not-so-suited to children. Quickly realizing that parenting isn’t solved with treats and jokes, Patrick’s eyes are opened to a new sense of responsibility, and the realization that, sometimes, even being larger than life means you’re unfailingly human. 🏳️‍🌈🏜️⚰️👧👦🏊‍♀️🐩

Book review ~ For Coven Sake by S Frasher 🪄 ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 This book is a short novelle but written in such an amazing way that it feels like a bigger book. It's very witchy, fluffy, romance type books and I'm all here for it! I could happily sit and read a full book about Rory and Finn all day long such cute chemistry and just adorable I couldn't stop smiling 😊 If your after a pallet cleanser from big series I definitely recommend this! #bookreview #forcovenssake #bookish #witchy #novelle #witvhyvibes #books2024 #reading #booknerd #kindle #kindlereads #booksofinstagram #bookclub #readingtime #bookphoto #readabook #totalbooknerd #bookrecommendations #greatreads #fortheloveofreading #booksaremagic #idratherbereading #booksarelove #bookblog #goodreads #bookblogging #booksofinsta #ireadbooks #bookstagram #bookstgrammer

My most anticipated read of the year by one of my most favorite authors… FUNNY STORY by Emily Henry ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) Overall, I REALLY enjoyed it. Emily Henry has a way of writing that just sits with me so well and always hits the spot. From the summery warm Michigan setting to the self discovery to the dreamiest ending, I always finish an EmHen book with a big happy sigh and feeling so content. This doesn’t take the cake as my #1 EmHen (HAPPY PLACE forever) but I still loved it! Specific things I loved about FUNNY STORY (some spoilers below): ☀️ Sweet Miles 🥹 I don’t have enough positive things to say about how adorable he was. He is such an earnest guy and we’d all be lucky to have someone like him in our lives. His outlook on life is so refreshing, and the reasoning for why he’s like this just makes you care for him even more. His character goes to show to not judge a book by its cover (like Peter did) ☀️ Daphne 💝 what a stellar main character. I applaud Daphne’s growth and self reflection so hard in this one! I loved her focus on not making 1 person the only dependable person for her but really seeing the importance of having an army of people that all serve you in different ways and bring different views to your life. The emphasis on friendship in this one was so heartwarming. I think one of EmHen’s super powers is making unique protagonists that are somehow relatable to all readers. It makes the book hit so close to home when you see yourself in the main characters’ flaws, interests, growth, and happy ending. CONT IN COMMENTS

🪻 what was your last 5 star read? 🪻 i read emily henry’s latest release FUNNY STORY yesterday and it was such an easy 5 stars! once i started reading i couldn’t put it down; i was completely engrossed in the story. i absolutely loved daphne and miles, both as a couple and as individuals. henry’s writing is at its best — this book is witty, funny, and heartfelt. i laughed, i cried, there were moments where i was grinning from ear to ear. i loved everything about funny story, and i know it’s a book i’ll be reading multiple times 🪻 i’m not sure where it falls in my emhen rating since i’ve given all of her books 5 stars and it’s hard to settle in a ranking, but i really do think this book is so special #bookstagram #romancenovels #bookphotography #openbook #bibliophile #booksbooksbooks #booksandflowers #booksaremagic #allthebooks #bookaholic #bookishlove #favoritebooks #booknerd #bookobsessed #library #totalbooknerd #prettybooks #bookaddicts #bookgeek #bookishphoto #pileofbooks #keepreading #flatlaybooks #idratherbereading #ireadromance #mybookishfeatures #readeveryday #readinglife #funnystory #emilyhenry

It's a rainy Sunday here and I'm trying to take it slow and not blame myself if I don't finish my to-do list. After all, we all need non-productive days to recharge, don't we? So let's end this cosy weekend with a little #whatthisweek update 🥰 📖 What I'm reading I just finished The Sun and the Void (the beauty pictured here), and now I'm working on finishing Plein-Ciel before #thebookwitches meeting on Thursday 🧙🏻‍♀️ 📺 What I'm watching I'm watching the new season of The Circle game on Netflix. I've always enjoyed this reality show based on social networks, and this season especially because the contestants are cutthroat strategic and don't embarrass themselves with false niceties (when we all know they're here for the 100k $ prize) 🎶 What I'm listening to While 99% of Bookstagram is listening to the new Taylor Swift album, I'm among the 1% left 😂 Last thing played on my Spotify was the last Within Temptation album 🤘🏻 ✨ What I'm looking forward to I'm on holidays at the end of the coming week and let me tell you, they can't come fast enough! ❓ Which book(s) would you like to finish or squeeze in before the end of the month? #bookstagram #bookstaexplore #bookstagramfrance #bookrecs #ilovereading #bookhoarder #bookaddiction #bookstoread #fortheloveofbooks #bookpics #weekendreads #totalbooknerd #livraddict #booksarelife #readingisfundamental #whatimreading #coffeeandcurrentlyreading #mybookfeatures #keepreading

🖤 BOOK REVIEW 🖤 ▪︎Married To A Pirate by Athena Rose ⭐⭐☆☆☆ Georgette was due to marry Prince Edward and start a life of luxury and riches but when her father loses a card game she finds herself whisked away by a band of ruthless pirates. Forced to marry the feared Captain Stone she must navigate life at sea and find a way to escape, but soon she finds her heart is torn between a Prince and a Captain, which life will she choose “ᴍᴀᴋᴇ ɴᴏ ᴍɪꜱᴛᴀᴋᴇꜱ, ᴍʏ ʟᴀᴅʏ. ɪ ᴡɪʟʟ ʙᴜʀɴ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴇɴᴛɪʀᴇ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ ᴅᴏᴡɴ ᴛᴏ ᴋᴇᴇᴘ ʏᴏᴜ ꜱᴀꜰᴇ" - ᴄᴀᴘᴛᴀɪɴ ꜱᴛᴏɴᴇ ----- ◇Full Review On Goodreads◇ Okay so I got this book thinking it was going to give me the whole Pirates Of The Caribbean vibes but it fell a little short on that front for me. I thought the MFC was bland, I think we were meant to believe she was a strong independent woman but she just kept having to be saved from danger. There was zero chemistry between her and the two MMC, I did at first like the "Touch her and die" mentality we got going on with Captain Stone but it just got old fast. He was a pretty rubbish Captain too, I dont know what he did to get his "feared reputation" but letting your whole crew die was a pretty sucky thing to do. The plot was a bit predictable and unrealistic I mean how many ships could one man destroy and then just have more waiting? Also I hated the ending. 🌷Romantasy 🌷Dark Fantasy 🌷Triple POV 🌷Pirates and Princes 🌷Greek Mythology 🌷Touch Her And You Die 🌷Love Triangle 🌷Spicy 🌷HEA 🌷Completed Series 🔖 #reading #booknerd #booksofinstagram #readingtime #bookphoto #bookphotography #readabook #totalbooknerd #bookrecombinations #greatreads #fortheloveofreading #idratherbereading #currentread #goodreads #marriedtoapirate

Just finished this book a few days ago …. And unfortunately was not a fan. This book got so dark really no reason and I wasn’t here for it. The last half of the book really just made me mad more than anything else.

Early mornings in the garden. This is the time of the year when being inside feels challenging. I want to be outside checking on the flowers, sitting in the grass, soaking up the sun. This is also the time when I announce my presence everywhere with non stop sneezing, because I always forget to get my allergy medication 😊💫 . . . ——————— We are a group of photographers empowering each other to grow and learn weekly.

“I was never a happy child. I think that, if I had been, things would have gone very differently with me. For one, I don’t think Ruth would have become my constant companion. Spirits like her are not drawn to the happy and carefree; they want salt, be it blood or be it tears.” My Darling Dreadful Thing by Johanna van Veen ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Thank you @PoisonedPenPress and NetGalley for my copy of #MyDarlingDreadfulThing . This has climbed to one of my favourite books of the year, yes I know it’s only April. This is the authors debut novel, and this gothic love letter was beautifully disturbing. It’s given to us in two POVs, the main character Roos and the doctors interviews. Roos and her spirit companion help her mother make money by performing seances, until she is whisked away by a beautiful widow who has more in common with Roos than she could have expected. This is defiantly a book for gothic fans to keep an eye ont for and pick up when it comes out May 14th.

👊🏼👊🏼.5/5 Thank you to @netgalley for our digital ARC of “The People Watcher.” This was an ok read. I enjoyed Lloyd’s novel, “The Memory Wood,” more, but this was an interesting story. Mercy is traumatized by a past event that causes her to avoid the daytime. By night, she watches the people in her community, gives them names and tries to improve their situations. Once she meets Louis, her world turns upside down as he escalates Mercy’s intentions from simply watching, to acting. I enjoyed Mercy as a character, but overall the story didn’t really translate for me. There were some strong moments, however, it all wrapped up too quickly for me. #booktok #bookstagram #ilovebooks #bookshelf #bookclub #read #reading #curlupwithagoodbook #bookchallenge #readabook #readmorebooks #alwaysreading #bookworms #bookish #totalbooknerd #readmorebooks #readmore #bookclubofinstagram #bookrecommendations #coffeeandbooks #newbook #bookworm #readingtime #readinglist #thrillerbooks #curlupwithagoodbook #readersgonnaread

I’ve reached the point in my love for @lucindaberryauthor where I just panic bought the novels that I haven’t read yet. I’m already grieving that I will soon reach the moment when I’ve read them all, and must wait for new releases. It’s a dark time. INDIGO: “When Kiersten McCann, president of the West Hollywood Moms’ Club, turns up dead in her own pool, it quickly becomes clear this wasn’t an accident. And the party guests—all members of the exclusive club—are now key suspects in her murder. Accusations fly, and three mothers find themselves at the center of the investigation. Whitney, Brooke, and Jade all have heavy secrets to bear…and possible motives for their friend’s murder. But as the police look closer, more secrets, betrayals, and sinister plots are revealed than the women could ever imagine. With everything at stake, deceit threatens to shatter their illusions of the perfect life. West Hollywood will never be the same.” #booktok #bookstagram #ilovebooks #bookshelf #bookclub #read #reading #curlupwithagoodbook #bookchallenge #readabook #readmorebooks #alwaysreading #bookworms #bookish #totalbooknerd #readmorebooks #readmore #bookclubofinstagram #bookrecommendations #coffeeandbooks #newbook #bookworm #readingtime #readinglist #thrillerbooks #curlupwithagoodbook #readersgonnaread

2024 FLATLAY 🫶🏼💫🧸🤍 These are the books I have read so far in 2024! Unfortunately we are almost halfway into the year and I have not come close to reaching half of my reading goal. Although, I feel as though the books I have read have been enjoyable- I recommend almost all of these books! Hopefully over the summer I will pick up the pace and come closer to my 2024 goal of 115 books.
