April recap time. What was *your* favorite book in April?

📚 Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 Character-driven family story and a love triangle. Striking mystery. “The farmer is dead. He is dead, and all anyone wants to know is who killed him.” Fans of Where the Crawdads Sing - get here and message me when you’re done.
📚The Love Haters by Katherine Center ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (out 5/20/25) She makes documentaries. He saves lives in the US Coast Guard. She is sent to Key West to film a promo video of him because his own brother is too chicken s #%^ to face his big brother but she can’t swim so SOMEONE needs to teach her and omigod just read it.
📚Truth or Beard by Penny Reid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Enemies to lovers, small town, lots of Tennessee brothers. I’ll be reading this entire series!
📚The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy by Brigitte Knightley ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (out 7/8/25) Sloooooww build enemies to lovers for the girls who *actually* want them to hate each other. Dramione fans. Low spice with a solid world building and lots of incredible banter.
📚The Thrashers by Julie Soto ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Could. Not. Put. It. Down. YA Thriller, popular group, mystery, spirits/paranormal.

The Thrashers by Julie Soto ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (out 5/6/25)

How does it feel to be the poor Thrasher? The girl who doesn’t fit with the rich beautiful highschool crew centered around Zack Thrasher? That’s what Jodi deals with everyday - from the school and the group themself. Except, it’s not so bad since she’s been best friends with Zack since 2nd grade, in love with him just as long.

But then Emily came along, and tried to get into the group. That did NOT end well for Emily. And then the cops came sniffing and Emily has to wonder if her so-called friend group is really being honest with her, DID they have something to do with Emily’s death?

Could. Not. Put. It. Down.

Popular group
Mystery
Spirits/Paranormal

Deep End by Ali Hazelwood ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dare I say that was, educational? Steamy? Fantastic!

You all told me this was her spiciest yet and you know what - you told the truth. Scarlett is a diver struggling through an injury that did more to her head then her shoulder. Lukas is an Olympic level swimmer and Stanford’s golden boy. Pen is Scarlett’s teammate, dive partner and Lukas’s girlfriend. Until she’s not and lets a secret slip out at a party.

Scarlett and Lukas are into similar, role-playing, and decide to explore this.

It’s nothing serious. Right?

January Wrap Up, what a month!!

📚The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Not sure there’s been a day that’s gone by that I started this book that I haven’t thought about it. All the stars. Loved the audio. Read this book.
📚The Ghostwriter by Julie Clark ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️(out 6/3/25) So she’s a well-known ghostwriter. Her Dad is famous horror author who may or may not have killed his brother and sister when he was a teenager. They’re estranged. Then he hires her to ghostwrite his memoir.
📚 This Book Will Bury Me by Ashley Winstead ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 (out 3/25/25) Loosely based on the Moscow, ID murders at the University Idaho imagine you’re a true crime coach detective who is sure she can solve it. That’s our Jane Sharp. She’s been through A LOT this year - her escape? Solving crimes online. Except she’s not alone and Jane and her online friends got famous for legit solving a cold case. Next up - taking their crack at the crime that shook the country.
📚 Murder Runs in the Family by Tamara Berry ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (out 4/29/25) Amber just left her PI boyfriend/partner Bones because he basically treated her like a secretary instead of a PI which she IS, minus the paperwork. Her obvious choice to go next is to find her grandmother whom her Mother expressly forbid her from ever meeting. Amber winds up in the dessert in a posh retirement home with a cast of characters you would die to meet. And then her grandmother gets framed for murder and Amber gets to put her PI skills to good use. Excellent cozy mystery.
📚 The Starlight Heir by Amalie Howard ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3.5-4 Suraya is a bladesmith from nowhere who out of the blue gets invited to the capital Kaldari to be part of the search for a new bride. What a laugh, she’ll go, get all the details on how the top 1% live and report back to her best friend. What she finds is not a laugh. See this isn’t a search for a bride, but a search for a Starkeeper who can make the cruelest prince and his equally evil Mother even more powerful. Luckily for Suraya the princes bastard brother is way cuter and she doesn’t have any magic any way. Right? RIGHT?!
