I really enjoyed this book. It is a fantasy/mystery. I listened to the audiobook and also enjoyed the australian narrator. The parallel story lines of Mary and Liza and Lucy and Jess were interesting and enjoyable

Never Flinch
by Stephen King

book cover


Stephen King's new thriller, is primarily a detective story. A Holly story. If you know King, then you know. If you know Holly then you know. A really good detective story starring some well-known characters, most of all Holly. It can be a stand alone but more fun if you have read the other Holly books. Really enjoyed this read.

Claire, Darling
by Callie Kazumi

book cover


CLAIRE DARLING by Callie Kazumi is the story of a young woman in love. The setting is London, England; the style is a mixture of personal narrative and introspection; the time frame is a back and forth between the here and now and Claire's childhood. Not giving anything away - the first sentence on the fly leaf says "this is a story of obsession, love and murder..." - the reader is taken on a wild journey with many twists and turn. An enjoyable read, if somewhat predictable...

Restore Me

This is the fourth installment in the Shatter Me series, and it marks the beginning of a new chapter in Juliette’s journey. It’s fascinating to witness how much Juliette has evolved since the first book. Her character development is one of the strongest elements of the series, and in this book, we see her step into a leadership role in a way that feels both powerful and deeply vulnerable. There were more revelations in this book, pieces that were left out in the first three books begin to unravel here, surrounding Aaron Warner and Juliette’s past. The way these storylines are expanded adds layers of depth and kept me turning the pages. We meet so many new characters and we get to explore them as people as well, which I really like. Tahereh Mafi’s writing continues to shine in this book. Her lyrical, emotional style captures the internal struggles of the characters so vividly that you can’t help but feel their pain and inner turmoil. Overall, I highly recommend this book, especially to readers who’ve been following Juliette’s story from the beginning.

This book started out as a sweet rom-com. Maddie's brother died and she is instructed to take his ashes to different places around the country. She is to be accompanied by Dom, her brother's best friend and the guy she had a crush on when she was younger. Then things changed, and there were a bit of graphic sex scenes, which did not fit into the story.

This non-fiction book tells the story of Elizabeth Packard. She is a woman I have never heard of but should have. Sane women are institutionalized by their husbands on whims including Elizabeth. She fought to get back rights for her and others caught in this situation . The story is at times tedious but I am glad I learned about this formidable woman.

This is not a book I would have picked myself.. My sister read it for a Book Club and insisted I read it. I am so glad I did! Suspense, twist and turns. A book you cannot put down. Finished in 1.5 days and want to know what happens next for Millie.
