Hello Goodreads! + Advice on the interwebs
I am thrilled to now be on Goodreads as an author! Thank you to everyone who has already added BRIGHTLY BURNING to their to-read shelf. I've been overwhelmed by the positive reception!
I'll be blogging every so often here, mostly posting updates on the book/events/giveaways, etc. I'm already pretty active on other parts of the interwebs, specially when it comes to writing and publishing advice.

| That ENDING. It's dark and messed up in exactly the way I like in a suspense novel. Deeply flawed characters making the wrong choices, but they feel oh so right. This isn't a traditional dark academia in that the setting is in the professional world, ...more | |

| If you're a fan of Bones, this one's a must-read. There's no way the author isn't a fan of the show, and of Temperance Brennan. Hannah = Temperance but steeped in the world of academia in a small coastal Californian town. I did have moments of pause, ...more | |

You know, I waffled on Paris reading this book. I went on a ride. But at the end of the day, it was an impressive, illuminating, and entertaining read--really an A+ on the celebrity memoir scale, so I'm going for a 4.5 rounded up. Now onto that waffli ...more |

| This was solid overall, though overwhelmingly I liked it for the vibes. As with every Megan Miranda book, the vibes were immaculate. I'm a sucker for a mountain town, for small town secrets, for crisp air and gloomy weather. I loved the setting of th ...more | |

| This fails as an isolation trope/locked room mystery, but is a quite good domestic suspense thriller. I ultimately liked what the book *was*, for the most part, but it took until the 50-60% mark for it to become clear that this is NOT an isolation tr ...more | |

Can't believe I forgot to mark this read/review it! Of course I had to read this. Like a car crash in slow motion. It's serviceable memoir made better by ghostwriter J. R. Moehringer, with credit to Harry for publicly crediting him. The beginning espe ...more |

| Solid 3.5 rounded up for superb "small town secrets"/Keeping Up With the Joneses vibes. Megan Miranda always nails setting and complex character dynamics, alongside propulsive page-turners. This is no exception. That said, there were some aspects of ...more | |

| A juicy "horrible rich people"-esque thriller with Ready or Not vibes, though only at a glance. I was mildly surprised more of the book didn't take place at the manor house, but did like the investigation/twists and turns up to that point, regardless ...more | |

“Don't you want to know why I don't love Bianca?"
"Because you met her?" I said into the rough fabric of his coat, sure he couldn't hear me. He could, and he laughed.
"That's why I love you Stella. You have a good hear, but also a sharp tongue. The perfect combination.”
