Awesome release week! Iβve been wanting to read Sally Thorneβs latest! And When the Stars Go Dark looked really good when I was choosing my BOTM, but Iβve not been reading quickly and didnβt want to overkill. And Iβve got The Good Sister down. Some more up there Iβd not had on my radar (Near You, Love in Color <βthat one is really sounding good!).
I read The Good Sister over the weekend. Actually, I read it in one day because I couldn’t put it down. Yep, it was one of those where you need to see what happens. I hope you enjoy it!
Oh, tried and true! Glad you loved it, now Iβm even more tempted! Iβve started 2 books though and need to move on before I can buy more. π¬ I saw another review for The Drowning Kind today that had me so close to breaking that rule for myself. It said Riley Sager/Simone St. James vibes and now I need it.
The Drowning Kind is calling to me too!
Also, I just ate the most delicious scone my Momma made for me, itβs carrot cake and divine! Veggies for breakfast, Iβm killinβ it at this whole losing weight/eating a little better thing! πͺπ»π₯π
OMG I LOVE SCONES!! Blueberry for me… but if I was eating sugar, I’d eat all of it.
Right?! I love all the scones. And she game me enough for everyone here, but maybe they wonβt like carrot cake, right? More for me! These were my idea for Easter dessert. She didnβt want to make them then, but here they are!
Those sound awesome, Tasha!!
Scones make the world go round!!
ππ
I am loving the Susan Stoker books, thanks for the recommendation!!
YAY Megan!!! Let me know what you think of it. That one gave me a blurb jolt.
GTK, Megan. I’ve just downloaded a sample of Finding Elodie. I like me a hot SEAL π Also downloaded the Bombshells sample. I have enjoyed some of this hockey series. Fingers crossed this is a goodie.
All this talk of scones has made me crave them. I like savoury scones with cheese, bacon and a little chopped baby spinach added to the mix. On the other hand, the traditional sweet scones with raspberry jam and cream. You can’t go wrong. I’m on term break at the moment. I can see some baking in my near future (like this afternoon).
I have never had savory scones, but I would LOVE what you described!!!!
And yes… I’m totally intrigued by that SEAL book. Let me know how it is? π
I agree, never had savory scones, but these sound divine!
So, even though I barely get any time to read as of late, I am loving The Hunting Wives. I was so surprised by where it went and where it keeps going…itβs so bad. Like, juicy bad. Like a train wreck you canβt help but gawk at.
I LOVE TRAIN WRECKS!!! In books!! Always and only in books. π

Wish me luck Iβm starting verity tonight. Iβm not sure why I have never read it before. It just seemed so spooky and not what I expected from Colleen. I need to start with a new genre because I have just run out of books I havenβt read or want to read. I will let you all know what I think. Iβm about 20 percent in and very intrigued. π€
I finished it. Very fast read because you just have to know… Iβm really not sure how i felt about it. I know I liked it a lot but it was hard to read like make your stomach hurt not because it was scary but because it was disturbing. And that ending… I am still processing
