Girls At The Bookstore

 Can You believe it will be July tomorrow? That Christmas is just 5 months away? Ugh...well other than we get Christmas reads!!!! Ro and I have been busy discussing the books we really are wanting to stack our shelves with this month, along with planning our read-along and Bookmas in July (have you joined a team yet? Details are a few posts back if you want to have some fun with us.) So let's dive into them... FALSE WITNESS BY KARIN SLAUGHTER Both of us are always on for a good thriller/mystery read and False Witness seems to be a good one... Leigh Coulton has worked hard to build what looks like a normal life. She has a good job as a defense attorney, a daughter doing well in school, and even her divorce is relatively civilized - her life is just as unremarkable as she'd always hoped it would be. But Leigh's ordinary life masks a childhood that was far from average... a childhood tarnished by secrets, broken by betrayal, and finally torn apart by a devastating act of viole...

 Blackpool's Jekyll has released a new single titled Tear Ourselves In Two. The new song is a bit different from what we have heard in the past from Jekyll, and to be honest, I think it is probably one of their best. I love the chill bump-inducing emotion that flows from lead man Joel Foster's vocals, and the haunting tone of the instrumentation that backs him up. Here is what Foster had to say about the new single: " 'Tear Ourselves...' initially started out as quite an ambient and cinematic instrumental with no chorus and stayed that way for quite a while. It wasn’t until we got the chorus down that it finally made sense and became the lilting ballad that it is now. Lyrically and musically, it was first conceived as a sort of answer to one of our older songs, 'Mania', and was going to be a sort of somber/sober reflection on the chaos of 'Mania' (a calm after the storm) as if you’ve just woken up from a particularly vivid nightmare. "Over ...

Tia Louise has revealed the cover for Trouble!        Releasing July 19, 2021 A super-hot, enemies-to-lovers, billionaire romance  from USA Today bestselling author Tia Louise. Legend has it, the man you kiss at a wedding is the man you'll marry. In my case, it's nothing but trouble. Spencer Carrollton is a dark-haired, hazel-eyed beast. When I collided with him at my cousin's wedding, I wasn't looking for love. But his naughty eyes flashed, his full lips curled into a knowing smile, and I should have run. I didn't. I kissed him instead. Then he gave me a job when I needed it the most. I never get involved with clients, but Spencer Carrollton is wickedly handsome in a bespoke suit. He's devastatingly sexy out of it. He's possessive, demanding, and the best night I've ever had. He's an arrogant billionaire, who thinks I'll fall at his feet, but I'm not going down that road again. Then he pulls me out of danger and insists I move in with him un...

  A one night stand. A runaway shifter. An unexpected claim... I never thought I'd see her again after our primal, passion filled night together. But finding Peyton's lifeless body on my land sends a shock to my system.  Mine.  Protect.  My blood calls for her.  My mind screams to protect her. My body aches to posses her.  Make her mine.  But Peyton is a loner, and she will never truly belong to anyone. Wish I knew there was a surprise!! Gave this a three stars rating mostly for the surprise pregnancy. This would be my first surprise pregnancy book and I’m not a fan of the trope. I enjoyed the chemistry Peyton and Nate had but got a little tired of her pulling away from him because she wasn’t ready to tell him he was the baby daddy. I didn’t understand that. I really liked the world she began to build and wish she spent more time on that. The time she took to tell about Peyton and her baby drama could have been used to build a back story building this ...

 GOODREADS SUMMARY In the summer of 1973, Ruth and her four friends were obsessed with pre-Raphaelite paintings—and a little bit obsessed with each other. Drawn to the cold depths of the river by Ruth’s house, the girls pretend to be the drowning Ophelia, with increasingly elaborate tableaus. But by the end of that fateful summer, real tragedy finds them along the banks. Twenty-four years later, Ruth returns to the suffocating, once-grand house she grew up in, the mother of young twins and seventeen-year-old Maeve. Joining the family in the country is Stuart, Ruth’s childhood friend, who is quietly insinuating himself into their lives and gives Maeve the attention she longs for. She is recently in remission, unsure of her place in the world now that she is cancer-free. Her parents just want her to be an ordinary teenage girl. But what teenage girl is ordinary? Alternating between the two fateful summers,  The Ophelia Girls  is a suspense-filled exploration of mo...

 I am a lover of beach reads. Maybe it has something to do with growing up in California and Hawaii and then landing smack middle in the US with no water in sight. They are my connection to something I love...the ocean. I have shelves full of books with soft calming views of some random beach, or the bright illustrated ones showing some tropical destination. I am not picky... So I felt it was the perfect time to list a few of the ones I am looking forward to stacking in my bag as I head out to the Westcoast in a few weeks. ( speaking of the West coast, I dropped a bit of musical fun at the end of all this...any anyone else remember this song? ) DON'T MAKE ME TURN THIS LIFE AROUND BY CAMILLE PAGAN I know you are not supposed to choose a book by its cover..BUT..look at it? It just draws you in with its eye-catching colors. But it isn't just the cover ...the story sounds wonderful... It’s been thirteen years since doctors declared Libby Ross-Velasquez a goner. Yet here she is—canc...
