Well I will finish Laurie Gilmore's series but it's not the best written or at least the first one wasn't. I am kind of invested in the characters now though. Sing Sing is eye opening and appalling. If you don't feel something after reading this, you have no soul.

Starting my 2nd non-fiction of the year with the much applauded Sing, Sing Files. I have quite the reading list for October and I'm hopeful because it's a long month I'll be able to make it through. I'm ready for cooler weather to wear my sweatshirts for.

If you've been following me or this blog you know I don't do a ton of Non-Fiction but No More Tears was recommended by someone and well I thought the subject matter sounded intriguing. I listened to it and I have not been that appalled and stunned in a long time.

Review Quickies

I'm not going to lie, this one took me a bit to get through. Not because it's not great (it is) but because the subject matter is heavy and tense. It is an epic story that spans decades full of loss, heartache, hope and love. This book is definitely not for the faint of heart and I liken it to The Lovely Bones. It is just as traumatic as that novel. I also think those who love a good thriller, mystery and true crime will love this one. 

I can definitely understand why this one was on so many "Best of" lists for 2024. 


Sometimes you have to throw a novel in your rotation that you know you will fly through and enjoy. I really enjoyed The Summer of Broken Rules by K.L. Walther, so I ordered this one. This one was a solid YA novel about figuring out what you want and going after it. It's also about family, kindness and acceptance. It has some pretty funny moments in it as well. Plus, I really liked the family dynamics. 


I've read Mazey's other books so I knew the banter would be top notch and man did it not disappoint. Eva and Rylie have history from college and well it really pisses Eva off  that Rylie is now a green flag because he was not back then. This leads to them having to work with each other by going on dates. The purpose is for Rylie to convince Eva that he really has changed. I think we all know how this goes but it was such a fun journey to be on.

At some point this week you will see a review post on some of the books that I've finished recently but for now I'm happy to say it seems like my reading is a bit more back on track.

All the Colors of the Dark is intense and I find myself needing to take breaks from it emotionally. That being said it's an excellent novel and I'm definitely interested to see where it goes.
