A little bit of a slower reading week and definitely slowed down my audiobook time this week to constantly play Taylor Swift's latest and IMHO, her best album. Happy Medium was a fun novel and maybe one day I will try goat yoga.

I put off reading The Court of Silver Flames for months and finally decided to read it. I can't believe I waited so long because it ended up being my 2nd favorite of the series. Heather Webber books never disappoint but In the Middle of Hickory Lane wasn't my favorite of hers but definitely still worth reading.

A day trip will help you get through a quick audiobook, which was American Housewife. If you haven't read or listened, it's worth it. The biggest let down was The Husbands. It was truly a fantastic concept but just a little winded in it's execution.

I wasn't sure what to expect from Frozen River but what I got was one of my top books of 2024 but my top book will probably be The Women. I just don't see anything coming out that will bump it from that perch.
Any book stand out for you in March?

If you haven't read Ms. Garvis, then I suggest you grab her latest to get you started, you won't regret it. The audiobook of The Princess of Las Vegas was superbly done and definitely recommend it.

Summary: From Atlanta's wealthiest suburbs to its stark inner-city housing projects, a killer has crossed the boundaries of wealth and race. And the people who are chasing him must cross those boundaries, too. Among them is Michael Ormewood, a veteran detective whose marriage is hanging by a thread and whose arrogance and explosive temper are threatening his career. And Angie Polaski, a beautiful vice cop who was once Michael's lover before she became his enemy. But unbeknownst to both of them, another player has entered the game: a loser ex-con who has stumbled upon the killer's trail in the most coincidental of ways and who may be the key to breaking the case wide open. In this gritty, gripping firecracker of a novel, the author of the best-selling Grant County, Georgia, series breaks thrilling new ground, weaving together the threads of a complex, multilayered story with the skill of a master craftsman. Packed with body-bending switchbacks, searing psychological suspense and human emotions, Triptych ratchets up the tension one revelation at a time as it races to a shattering and unforgettable climax.
I will give this series a chance because, although the TV show has taken liberties with the characters, I do like the premise. Will and Angie are fascinating studies of foster care at its worst growing into broken but functional adults. Would I have liked Angie as much if I hadn’t seen the show? Maybe not, but I have a feeling she would grow on me across the course of the series.
