March Reads 2024
Five 5-star reads and a couple disappointments.

“Perhaps the dead are afraid to live as much as we are afraid to die.”
A Death at the Party
“Somehow, it came to this: a dead body on my bathroom floor.”

February Reads 2024
I read 5 new releases this month- see which ones I loved!
A Forgotten Kill
“Warriors brought the battle to the enemy to keep others safe, and she was warrior. If that involved sacrificing herself, so be it.”
MonoThreeism
“apologetic integrity cloaked in irreverent honesty. It reads like the Screwtape Letters baptized in the blood of Captain Jack Sparrow.”
Supercommunicators
“whether we call it love, or friendship, or simply having a great conversation, achieving connection—authentic, meaningful connection—is the most important thing in life.”
Only If You’re Lucky
“I crave it more than I’ve ever craved anything: the kind of friendship that I once knew so well, not comfortable and contained but something messy and maniacal and real.”

Another year of reader-voted-best-books. I’m going to read one from each category!
All This Twisted Glory
“She had to accept as fact that sometimes revolution demanded darkness in exchange for light.”
Happy Place
“Even when something beautiful breaks, the making of it still matters.”
A Change of Affection
“I can’t explain all the mechanics of this radical transformation. I just know that no one can be in the very presence of the living God and remain the same.”
The Clinic
“You’re not going to like this, Meg. But to solve your sister’s murder, you might need to solve yourself.”
