This was a re-read for me and so perfectly timed! If you haven’t read this yet, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It’s not just about saying yes to the things you are afraid of. It’s about saying yes to yourself. It’s about saying yes to saying no. It’s about bringing the joy back into your life.

Shonda Rhimes is real and funny and this book is like hanging out and catching up with a best gal pal over a cup of coffee or glass of wine.

ESPECIALLY after this crazy year we’ve had, grab this book to inspire you, lift you up, and make you laugh all at the same time.

Picked this one up because I really enjoyed #confessionsonthe745 and while I didn’t enjoy it as much as confessions, it was a good book in its own right.

Multiple POVs and alternating timelines keep the story moving and the plot twisty.

This one isn’t my favorite thriller of the year, but I did enjoy it while I was reading it. Looking forward to reading more of her works!

I first discovered Sarah Pinborough last year and loved her book Behind Her Eyes. I think I liked this one even more because I connected more with the characters and I loved the ending.

If you like twisty books, this one’s a good one. Dual timelines and multiple POVs open many doors for where the plot (and especially the ending) could be going. Even when you are sure you’ve got it all figured out, there are still enough twists and turns to make you unsure…

Pinborough’s got a good cast of characters in this one, too. I found them all likable enough to enjoy the book, but they are flawed in a way that makes them realistic and makes the story work.

Definitely add this one to your TBR. It’s a quick, enjoyable read and you’ll be glad you did.

I will say straight out of the gate that this was a 4 star book for me only because it took me so long to get into it. I had to return it to the library the first time I checked it out and I hadn’t even finished 60 pages.

The second time I tried, I gave up again and ended up getting it on audio. Normally I won’t work so hard to enjoy a book, but I really wanted to read this book because of all the personal recommendations I’d been given.

I’m so glad I stuck with it. There is so much to this book, but at its core is about a lovable, lonely boy that I eventually fell in love with. The characters in this book are gritty and real, often maddening, and each, in their own way, relatable. The themes in the book (family, addiction, sexuality) are tough and the book is often depressing, but Douglas Stuart still manages to create a novel about love and resilience.

Definitely add this to your TBR and don’t give up if it doesn’t hit home at first.

Between the book and the authors notes at the end, this was an incredible read. If you haven’t read the Tattooist of Auschwitz, you don’t have to have read it before this one, but I highly recommend it as well.

This book tells the story of Cilka, who was a minor character in Tattooist, and her time in Auschwitz and then in a Russian prison camp.

I’m not sure if I loved this story or it’s characters more. I just know that I loved this book and especially the author’s notes at the end. I’ve said before that I hated studying history growing up, but books like this bring it to life and make me want to learn more.

Highly recommend this book!

This was a fun book to read. Dual timelines, an unreliable narrator, and a lot of twists and turns make this entertaining from start to finish.

Put this one on your TBR!

So much to love about this book!

Dual timelines, dual narrators, past and present mysteries, likeable characters, and a fabulous story.

This is my second book by Diane Chamberlain and I’m a fan. Will be adding more of her books to my TBR.

Don’t miss this one. Lots of good feels in a novel that sucks you in with its characters and mystery!

@colleenhoover can seriously write in any genre.

I had no idea I was stepping into a paranormal romance, and that made the beginning of the book less enjoyable for me. I’ll go ahead and throw that out there to spare you that feeling of, “What the hell am I reading?”

That said, once I figured out there was a paranormal element to this book, I really enjoyed it. CoHo writes a terrific romance, and Layla does not disappoint in that respect. She also does a fabulous job of holding her cards to her chest in terms of where the book is going until she is ready to tell you.

Even though I didn’t like the main character, Leeds, I loved the story. Will be thinking about this one for a long time.

Add this on to your TBR and pick it up when you want an addictive story that might be slightly out of your comfort zone!

I jumped this one to the top of my TBR because I wanted to watch the HBO series (The Undoing) and I wasn’t disappointed by either.

The characters are complicated and the story is full of twists and turns. Jean Hanff Korelitz does an excellent job creating tension throughout the book, putting you right in the middle of the chaos and letting you simmer there.

This book was a fun, quick read and if you like mysteries you should jump this to the top of your TBR. I also recommend The Undoing- HBO made some significant changes so even having read the book the ending was still a mystery!!

I’m almost finished with this series and I’m excited that I’m loving the last books as much as the first. The Queen’s Fool was a bit of a departure from her other books in that it doesn’t focus on the current Queen or one of the other major female players of the day. Instead, it focuses on a young girl with the gift of Sight that gets thrown into the Royal Court without any say in the matter.

I loved this book because Gregory was able to capture the rivalry between sisters Mary and Elizabeth and all of the drama surrounding their individual lives and ambitions through the eyes of young Hannah Green, the Queen’s Fool. Because Hannah was an outsider to Court life, this story offers a refreshing look into that life and the people in it.

I loved Hannah Green as a character and I loved the portrayal of the two sisters in this book.

This was one of my favorites in the series! Definitely recommend this one, even if you don’t plan to read all of them.
