There are so many interesting books coming out in July and quite a few repeat BOTM authors that have books coming out and that have just come out. We already know at least two previous BOTM authors books are available as add-ons, but I know we’re all anxious to see which main picks will be…

Dark Corners
A note before I get into my review: while this is technically the second in a series, this can absolutely be read as a standalone. There are a few references to The Night Swim, and both stories feature Rachel Krall, but the stories themselves are separate. Honestly, I didn’t even realize this was technically a…
June 2023 Book of the Month
What better way to come back from a holiday weekend than with Book of the Month books dropping! I’m very pleased with this month’s picks, and while I’ve only read 1 so far, I’m part way through a second one, and basically all of these were on my June most Anticipated List. Not to mention…
June 2023 BOTM Predictions
A little late with predictions this month but better late than never, right? As with my May predictions, there are a few confirmed picks already and while I’m adding them to my prediction list along with my other hopefuls, I won’t call them out, so I don’t spoil anyone’s fun! If you do want to…
The Last Word
Emma Carpenter is in self-prescribed isolation. House sitting on a remote beach in Washington State, she spends her days reading cheap Kindle ebook thrillers. She never posts reviews but when she reads a truly awful book, she can’t help but post a one-star review. When the author response demanding her to take her review down,…
May 2023 Book of the Month
May picks are in! I’m not surprised by most of these, but I wouldn’t say I’m overly excited for this month. We did get 9 new books this month, with four being from repeat authors and two debut authors. We also ended up with two historical fictions, three contemporary fiction, 1 thriller, 2 romances, and…
The Secret Book of Flora Lea
I’ve been on an unintentional historical fiction hiatus lately but decided to dive back into it once I read the synopsis of Patii Callahan Henry’s upcoming release The Secret Book of Flora Lea. I’m so glad I decided to read this book because while it’s not actually a magical realism or fantasy story, it was pure…
May 2023 | BOTM Predictions
Welp, I sat down to put my predictions together last week and ended up never finishing them; but that is life with a toddler. Anyway, there are quite a few confirmed May picks already floating around already so while I’m adding them to my prediction list along with my other hopefuls, I won’t call them…
The Only Survivors
This was exactly what I needed! I finished the queen of crime’s Will Trent series, aka Karin Slaughter, and have been majorly slumping lately. I just couldn’t sit down with anything and get further than a page or two. But when I started Megan Miranda’s upcoming release, I was hooked! 10 years ago, an accident…
April Book of the Month
April books are here! Personally, I think it’s such a good line up and have been lucky enough to received copies of s6 of this month’s picks. Surprisingly, I’ve actually finished 2, am almost finished with 2 more, and have the final 2 lined up on my TBR already. We only have 2 debuts, 2…
