First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston. I liked it as is grabs you right from the start. No slow build. It keeps you guessing. While I was able to figure out part of the twist; it still had me guessing.

I just finished the Audio 🎧 of
. I really enjoyed it, gave it 4 Stars. It was an unusual story as Clover is a death doula, which means she helps people transition from living to dying. It isn’t morbid though, actually it’s a very hopeful book. Here is my review if anyone is interested. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I just stayed up late to finish,
, SW Hammond. This just was a poorly written book and I was quite disappointed. There were constant references to women as b*itches and it was not in a context that fit the book. I gave this one 1 Star. Here is my review if you are interested:

Just these types of books turn me off when there are so many excellent ones.
Allison wrote: "paper Palace. wasnt a fan"Yes, I listened to the audio book and decided to stop listening. Wasn't a fan either - I didn't empathise with the main character and found some of the events in the story more disturbing than anything (rather than adding depth to the characters).
, Antonia Hylton. This was such a well written and researched book by an empathetic and intelligent author. It is shameful the practices we as a nation allow to go on for decades. Now, it is time we actually did something to improve the lives of black mentally ill people who have much to offer. Here is my 5 Star Review if anyone is interested:

For Black History Month this one is definitely knowledge needed. I was very upset and disturbed reading many practices. Please let’s acknowledge our mistakes and make progress.
Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng - Very special book that stayed with me for a long time.Our Missing Hearts
I last read Words and Other Things by Christina Lauren - great read for Valentine’s Day!Currently reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Happy reading, friends!
I just finished Fairy Tale by Stephen King which was a bit of a 'palate cleanser' for me after some deeper reading. In the meantime, I decided to start a short story by Cheryl Strayed, "Two Women Walk Into a Bar", while I wait on a library hold due to come in any day now for Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng.
i just finished the housemaid by freida mcfadden, a bit predictable/hard to believe at times, but a fun quick read!
Agreeable Avery by E.L. Westbury. Perfect amount of romance and twists.
Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers this was a smart funny read. It was like a modern take on the 80s TV series Murder She Wrote. The book is set in Chinatown in San Francisco and the lead is bold and endearing.
