DNF at 56%. Just not for me. I need conversations and less interviews.
One of the best audiobook - I have listened to. It felt like I am listening to a documentary with all the interviews.

I needed to read this because I needed to find out what happens to Avery and the Hawthorne boys. I was sort of done with this series after book 2 and feels this was just more of the same thing. The riddles got old and I just wanted it to end. I did enjoy the ending.

Grab a glass of wine and a charcuterie board and enjoy this book about a failing winery and the 3 generation of woman that grew up on the winery. I love that these women connected through Jackie Collins smut reads from the 80s and how it empowered them. All 3 of their story was interesting and I love how they stood up against patriarchy.

This book is so heartwarming! Such an interesting premise about an unlikely friendship between Frank and Libby. The supporting characters added so much depth to the story and the search for Frank's mystery friend from years ago was so engaging.

I enjoyed the premise of this story - a mystery with time travel. The story dragged a bit in parts but overall enjoyable. I didn't see the twist coming which is always a plus.

I enjoyed this romance about a night stand turned employee romance. The setting of a Napa winery sounds so nice. The book was a middle of the road for me. I liked Margot and Luke individually but together, I didn't see so much depth. Margot's internally thoughts were very repetitive and made the book drag a bit in the first half of the book.
I enjoyed the dual POV and narration did a great job. Thank you @berkleyromance @prhaudio for a copy of the book.

I haven't read a book by Picoult in years and this one was grabbed my attention from the first page. The story about is told in past (Lily's POV) and present (Olivia's POV). There's so much to unpack in this story from domestic abuse, single parenthood, first love and so much more. I wanted to know what was Lily's secret and it shocked me. I loved Olivia's POV and how her story was so involved with the bees.
Thank you to the publisher for a copy of the book.

Thank you @berkleyromance @prhaudio for a copy of Where We End & Begin. I enjoyed this second chance romance between Obinna and Dunni. I love how strong their bond was as first love and their attraction to each other. I thought Dunni forgave Obinna a bit too quickly and the big secret is not my favorite trope. Overall an enjoyable read and I liked the narration and the Nigerian accent.

This was such a great sequel to The Family Upstairs. The book starts with a body found in the Thames which the murder happened 25 years ago. The sorry is told in 3 perspectives: the detective that is trying to solve the mystery of the body, Lucy who appears in the first book and how she settles to her new life and Rachel who is married to an older man. I love how the stories intersect and how the mysteries are revealed.
The narrators did a great job and kept me interested.
