I received this in exchange for a review from the publishers.
This one took me a while to start I had received 3 ARCs all within a very short period of time, and this one was the last one read. But I read it in like 1 1/2 days or something like that. A very fast paced read. The story was gripping and page turning.

Something is off about Nina's new finance Simon. He knows a lot about her,he's always there. Gives her her needs, but is he too perfect. To real to be true? What happened with Nina's first husband? Where is is?

Again, this was a big page turner for me. I highly recommend this one. I like thrillers and mysteries. So please do me a favor, and check this one out.

I won an ARC in exchange for a review.

This book was written by Leslie Rule, daughter of famed true crime author Ann Rule. I want to write this review the best i can without spoiling it, so please be patient with me.

This was quite the thrill ride. I normally speed through books, especially thrillers and crime books. But i struggled with this one. But I will totally read more from Leslie.

Cari Farver went missing, her mother worried about her, Dave her boyfriend becoming afraid of her.
Meanwhile another woman that was interested in Dave was also seeing starts receiving threats,burglary, and more.

I highly recommend this if you like true crime, or are a fan of Ann Rule.
This book will really keep you on the end of your seat.


Wonder was a very quick read. I actually read most of it in a day. Sometimes my goodreads 'read' dates are a little off from me forgetting to update my statuses...oops. Well back to the review.
Wonder is about a boy named August "Auggie" Pullman. Auggie isn't "normal" he has deformities that make him a bit insecure. He's a nice boy and just wants to be normal and fit in with everyone else. Throughout the book, Auggie faces lots of challenges,but he gets through. You'll laugh and cry.
This is a middle-grade novel, but I think anyone who has been picked on,struggled to fit in, or just wants to read a good story no matter what the age I think would enjoy reading "Wonder"

I received an ARC in exchange for a review.
I'm both a dog person,and a cat person. I own a cat myself, but have owned dogs before. My cat I don't think like I was reading about dogs. He was running around with the zoomies.

I like how the book was structured in each dog had it's own chapter in telling the story. Each dog played an important roll in the authors life. Shaping who she is.
As pets are part of the family. The good times, and the rough times. I read how the dogs helped shape Jennifer's life, and become who she is. It was funny,sad, and full of love.

When i first started reading this I didn't know the author was trans. I read it for who she is. I'm glad that Jennifer was able to become who she truly was all along.

If you love dogs, or animals in general. I suggest you read this book. It's full of life and love. Good stories of growing up with dogs.
