May books are here and I’m surprised by two of this month’s picks! I read only one of the picks so far this month and so I don’t have a ton of insight this go around to help guide your choices. I do have one review up for you to review though and if you…

Middletide
There is something about atmospheric mysteries set in the Pacific Northwest that just draws me in. I’ve always wanted to live in this area so maybe this is just me living out that dream. Middletide, Sarah Crouch’s debut, follows the investigation into the death of the towns local doctor. All signs point to suicide, that…

Funny Story
Emily Henry is an auto read author for me. As soon as I see her new book making the rounds, I jump on the opportunity to read it. Her romances are always deep enough to have substance but fun enough to be the perfect vacation and beach read. Happy Place last year was the only…
