Book Review: “The Heiress” by Rachel Hawkins
I gave myself a challenge and that was to finish reading The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins before the end of 2023 so I could make sure this review got posted on time. I kinda forgot about it the whole month of December…. annnnd…. binge read it on the 31st. I have no regrets. This bookContinue reading “Book Review: “The Heiress” by Rachel Hawkins”

“Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun” from Elle Cosimano
Why are there cheese fries in the picture with the third installment of Elle Cosiman’s Finlay Donovan series, you ask? Well, there’s one kinda throwaway line in Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun [Buy Bookshop Amazon] that mentions cheese fries and it became all I could think about.

Mary Kubica and “Just The Nicest Couple”
The last author event I attended before the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns was Mary Kubica when she was promoting The Other Mrs. It was a lovely event and I kept reading her stuff, including Local Woman Missing, which I reviewed last year. Now, she’s back with another domestic thriller, Just The Nicest Couple. This story followsContinue reading “Mary Kubica and “Just The Nicest Couple””
