Let’s talk about…psychological thrillers
Psychological thrillers. What can you say about them? Several words that come to mind are suspense, twists, turns, thrilling, unpredictable, surprises. What are some words you might add to that list when you think of this genre. This is a newer genre in my repertoire of reading. Usually, it’s a typical murder mystery and I’m…

Bone Box (Peter Decker/Rina Lazarus #24)
by Faye Kellerman Number 24. This is a series I have been reading for many years and have been lagging in getting caught up in reading. There are 27 in the series right now. I have several series that are ongoing that I have committed to but have been slacking a lot: Alex Cross, Women’s…

eBook or Physical Book?
Which do you prefer? An eBook or a physical book? Before having my son, I was mostly anti-eBook because there’s nothing better than the smell and feel of a physical book. Now, I won’t go into the argument of whether hardback or paperback is better because hands down paperback for me. Hardback can be so…

ShadowMan

Slightly South of Simple
by Kristy Woodson Harvey The way I got to this book was kind of backwards. My husband’s aunt gave me the third book in this series, which I started to read and then realized that it was a series. I decided to go back and start it altogether. This is the first book in the…

Are you a series reader or a stand-alone?
Here’s another age old reader’s question: Do you prefer series or stand-alone books? For me, I get drawn into the story, the characters, their lives. I get sucked into series and hate when a book just ends, leaves me hanging. Often when I read a stand alone book, I wonder, what’s next? What happened to…

Book First or Movie?
I’ve often had this internal debate of whether I should read the book first or watch then movie/TV show. And I think I’ve discovered which I prefer. Recently, for the podcast, we read The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ana Brashares. I LOVE this movie series. I’ve watched them a million times. So when…

A Slice of Heaven
by Sherryl Woods Vacation is a great thing, especially staycations when you can just chill, relax, and hang out. I got to read several books and here’s another one I just finished. When is your best time to read? When do you get in all your reading? For me, it’s not during the hustle and…

The Nantucket Beachfront Inn
by Ainsley Keaton Well, readers, I finished another one. I think it’s important to commit to something. I’ve committed to reading before bed every night as a way to wind down and just to reading overall. So here’s my next book that I read. It’s another NetGalley book, and it will be published May 15,…
