1) Snow Drowned- Jennifer Lyle
2) The Snow Hare- Paula Lichtarowicz
3) A Season To Lie- Emily Littlejohn

Initially, I was going to read Under the Bridge since I was trying to do 3 different words, but I ended up DNF'ing it. I liked all 3 but Snow Drowned was my least favorite because I didn't care for the narrator, at time it sounded robotic. The Snow Hare was a WW2 historical fiction involving Poland and Russia, not the typical German/France or England setting. A Season To Lie is the 2nd book in the series, and I didn't know that until I started reading. That was ok, I don't feel like I missed a lot of information, but I think I'll go back at some point and read the rest of the series.

I read these 3 books: Twice A Daughter by Julie Ryan McGue, The Man Burned By Winter by Peter Zacharias, and The Sweet Taste of Murder by CeeCee James .
Twice A Daughter was pretty good, Memoirs aren't my favorite, but I enjoyed this. The main character did annoy me occasionally with her expectations, but it was interesting.
I'm looking forward to reading the other books in the series by Peter Zacharias and the last book was eh ok. I don't need to read any others in the series, just not my speed.

I read The Book of Lost Names by Kristin Harmel. Historical fiction during WWII. The main character, a Jewish woman, survives the war and is an accomplished forger, which helps save hundreds of lives, mostly children. She documents their real names in a book that is lost after the Nazis stole it towards the end of the war.

I read these 3 books and enjoyed them all
1) Smash Cut- Sandra Brown
2) The School For Good Mothers- Jessamine Chan
3) On Little Wings- Regina Sirois

I read a few of the Bound series ( Starry Kingdoms of the Fae), Knighthood, Twilight, Death, and Honey and while I can't remember each book very well I know for sure the last book had Dragons (love) in it and a baby dragon even bonds with a human accidentally.

I read 3 books for this. A Train To Moscow by Elena Gorokhova (historical fiction based in Russia), These Still Black Waters by Christina McDonald (I would call this paranormal mystery) and Bound By Honey by Jamie Dalton (fantasy romance). I read all of these on my Kindle and liked them all. The Bound of Honey is the most recent Starry Kingdoms of the Fae books, each written by a different author and short in length. It wasn't my favorite of the 11, but it was alright. These Still Waters was good enough that I'm reading the next book in the series now, What Lies In Darkness. lastly, it was

I listened to Everything is Fucked by Mark Manson.

I read A Train To Moscow by Elena Gorokhova. I haven't read many books based in Russia, and it was a good story.

I'm reading Cop Town by Karin Slaughter. Love her books!

I read Her Darkest Nightmare by Brenda Novak. It's a novella to start off her Evelyn Talbot 4 book series which is pretty good. I'm listening to the last book now.

I read Kiss The Girls And Make Them Cry by Mary Higgins Clark. I enjoy her books. They're pretty quick, easy reads.

I read the new release, The Guest, by B.A. Paris. It was good and entertaining. Of course, when I finished it, I thought to myself no way she would have gotten away with all that in real life, lol.

I read Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin. I enjoyed the story of their relationship growing from early childhood to adulthood.

I read The Night Olivia Fell by Christina McDonald. It was the 1st book I've read from her and I liked it. Good mystery, and I admit to being tearful at the end.
