April 2024 Five Star Reads
Better late than never – here are the four books I read in April that I absolutely loved and recommend that you should read! Every one of these books was available for free on the Libby app through my local public library. If you don’t have a library card at your local library, GET ONE!…
The Cemetery of Untold Stories by Julia Alvarez
A retiring novelist creates a small cemetery for her unfinished manuscripts on a small parcel of land she inherited from her father. The land is in the Dominican Republic, her hometown and the setting for many of her stories. Alvarez weaves several stories together to write an incredibly beautiful novel about humanity, love, violence, tradition,…
My 45th Birthday
Birthdays make us reflect on our lives. I’m 45 today, and it is my greatest hope that I am not yet at the halfway point of my life. I feel great, my life circumstances are extraordinary right now. The people I love are healthy and happy, for the most part, and I’m in a safe,…
The Accidental Dating Experiment by Lauren Blakely
The Accidental Dating Experiment by Lauren Blakely, aka May’s free Audible Plus rom-com, is steamy, hilarious, and fun! Andi Arndt and Jacob Morgan deliver fantastic performances to combine with a great story. Five stars!
Moonshade by S. J. West
Moonshade by S. J. West is the first book in the Vampire Conclave series. This book was published in 2016, but first came to my attention through a promotion on Kindle. I like the world building and rules in this series – as someone who has read MANY paranormal fiction series, sometimes it seems like…
The Husbands by Holly Gramazio
The Husbands is a hilarious story about a woman who gets a new husband every time the last one climbs up into the attic. Five stars, must read!
The Princess of Las Vegas by Chris Bohjalian
The Princess of Las Vegas follows a Princess Diana impersonator who finds herself in the center of several high profile murders, and her closest family may be the ones setting her up.
Annie Bot by Sierra Greer
My favorite book of 2024 so far – A scifi novel that reads like contemporary fiction. Annie is a lifelike robot with AI that continues to learn how to be more human, and how to please her owner, Doug.
March 2024 Five Star Reads!
The three books that I rated five stars this month are all so different from each other. A magnificent rom-com, the first book in a paranormal series about immortals, and an American History book about Reconstruction and Jim Crow. This goes to show that reading books out of your “comfort genre” from time to time…
The Sunset Years of Agnes Sharp by Leonnie Swann
The Sunset Years of Agnes Sharp by Leonnie Swann is the first book in what will be the Miss Sharp Investigates series, translated from German to English by Amy Bojang. A murder mystery at a senior citizen home share, it is senior citizen “Clue” where they can’t remember where they hid the gun that shot…
