Looking for something to read this weekend? I’ll have it here!!! Have one for me? Email it to me (or comment below) and I’ll add it too. In fact, let’s start off with a recommendation by Tasha J (and it’s on Kindle Unlimited)!!!

Tasha J: I just finished reading What the River Knows by Isabel Ibanez and loved it! It was totally immersive and sloooow burn! The action really picked up more in the 2nd half and grrr on the ending. I need book 2. Thankfully won’t have to wait too long.

I actually turned (bc this gives similar feels) The Mummy on this weekend for me and the older kids and they loved it…

Maryse: Oh The Mummy… my biggest actor crush (other than Keanu) was Brendan Frasier in The Mummy. I could not get over how gorgeous he was, and I swoooooooned for years to come over him. LOL!!
