    14 for August

  • Milverton Mystery Series by G.B. Ralph

    I just fell in love with Addison Harper and the people of Milverton. Listened to the first two in the series on Monday and Tuesday. Can’t wait for October 2nd for the third one 🥰

  • The Sequel by Jean Hanff Korelitz

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was a super fun and fast-paced sequel to The Plot. I re-listened to The Plot to prepare for this one and I was glad I did. I think it made for much easier understanding of what was happening since this one picks up right after the events of The Plot. Anna published her…

  • A Swarm of Butterflies by Sarah Yarwood-Lovett

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our favorite crime solving ecologist Dr Nell Ward is back in a new mystery where she and Rav are again in danger from those around them. It’s rare that I feel such actual worry for characters in a book but these two hit me in the feels every time.  This time there is drama…

  • Worst Case Scenario by T.J. Newman

She makes you care about the characters that are going through the disaster, and the writing is so fast paced that you feel you have to finish the book in one sitting if possible because you…

I grew up watching the 1981 Clash of the Titans on VHS as many times as my parents would rent it from the Curtis Mathes, which was what our…

  • Murder on a School Night by Kate Weston

    This gave Mean Girls vibes mixed with Truly Devious/Nancy Drew/Harriet the Spy. Kerry and Annie are on the outside of the cool group when they are approached by the leader to help investigate who is sending her scary DMs. Then a very strange murder happens and she asks them to investigate that also. I enjoyed…

  • Best Books of the Century – my ballot

    This was extremely difficult to narrow down to a top 10 but here is my stab at it. Thanks @rev.alicia.reads for the template.

  • The Examiner by Janice Hallett

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was another fun story told in transcripts from group texts and message boards. There is/may have been a disappearance at a small college masters arts program. We have to figure out what happened based on reading all of the messages, which are often contradicting. So who is lying?? Who is spying on who?…
