Cemetery Road by Greg Iles

If you’ve read my blog for a while, you might have read my post on the Penn Cage series – it was back in May 2017 so here’s a link in case you’re interested.  It’s one of my all time favourite book series in that genre and why I was so excited to see that …

Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

I saw this book everywhere when it came out – on reading lists, in emails (I think from the publishing company to be honest) and it was included in Reese’s Book Club.  I don’t read all the books that she recommends but she certainly recommends some great ones in my opinion.  I didn’t really know …

Us Against You by Frederik Backman

Last fall I read a novel called Beartown by Fredrik Backman that surprised me in that I liked it so much more than I thought I might.  Check out my original post to learn more but my intense like for Beartown made me really excited for its sequel, Us Against You.  So excited that I read it one …
