Book #15: The Witch Elm
By: Tana French Narrated by: Paul Nugent I was craving something light and random when my mom suggested that we give this one a listen. I was not expected a murder mystery, but that’s what I got. I do consider a murder mystery to be light reading, because it was...Book #13: Nothing to See Here
By: Kevin Wilson Narrated By: Marin Ireland I am instantly skeptical about men who write books with women as their main characters, and I once again went into this one completely blind, without even noticing the author was a man (I have to stop doing this!) So I was...Book #12: Such a Fun Age
By: Kiley Reid Narrated By: Nicole Lewis This is the highly anticipated debut novel by Kiley Reid. I had avoided this book until now because I don’t like the title, but after deciding that wasn’t a good enough reason, I went forward with listen to it on...March In Review
Reading is surprisingly difficult when there is a global pandemic taking over your life!! March had us mostly adjusting the way we operate 100%. I am able to work from home, and so my days are still quite full, but with the added collective trauma of COVID-19. That...Book #11: Olive, Again

By: Anthony “Ray” Hinton The Sun Does Shine is a heartbreaking memoir of a man who spent 30 years in a 6 foot by 9 foot cell in Holman Correctional’s Death Row for crimes that he didn’t commit. Ray was 29 when he was sentenced to death for...Book #9: Homegoing
By: Yaa Gyasi Wooooow. What a book. I was hooked from page 1, and stayed hooked throughout the entire novel. I say “novel,” and it is, but it really is essentially a collection of short stories that follow a variety of characters through the three hundred...March Reboot
Happy Women’s History Month! February was rough and I only got one additional book in. Between work and work and running around, I intended to read about 6 books, and I just did not make it very far in any of them. I also attempted to take on The People’s...
Book #8: Queenie
By: Candice Carty-Williams Ha! On the front cover there is a review that says that Queenie is Americanah meets Bridget Jones Diary, and I am just not sure of that at all! It felt more like Fleabag with a black protagonist. It was, in some ways, very funny. Queenie is...Welcome to the last book club
