Review:

Upon reading the blurb on the book jacket, I was excited to get started on The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post by Allison Pataki.

The book cover, with a picture of a woman’s back, suggested that it may have lots of romance and I was hoping that it wasn’t the case! I’m not a big romance genre fan.

So was it worth the read? Yes! I love it when a book exceeds my expectations. This book did just that and more!

Here’s why you should check it out:

Book Review

I listened to Love After Love by Ingrid Persaud and the audio book was just amazing! What a delight – I loved to hear the Trinidadian accent! The author did such a fantastic job reading her own work. Most of the time I prefer to listen to audio books done by professional readers but this one was done to perfection and is one can count as one of my exceptions.

Review:

I don’t know why Finlay Donovan Is Killing It by Elle Cosimano has not been talked about more since it’s publication in 2021. I bet it’s on people’s ‘to be read’ pile!

Here’s a public service announcement: now is the time to move it to the top on the pile!

This is my first book by Cosimano so I was unsure of what her writing is like. She was a nominee for the YA Edgar Award so she should be pretty good. This book is her adult book debut.
