My Favorite Books of 2024
I know what you’re thinking. It’s the end of March, ma’am…why are you just now sharing your Favorite Books of 2024? Well, I have two reasons. The first reason is that I am so wildly disorganized this year that I just never got around to finishing my list. The second reason is that I was not at all ready to narrow down my list. I finished 112 books last year and I had SO many 5 star reads that the thought of narrowing down the list felt impossible. But, I’ve done it I have narrowed it down to 12…and I already have anxiety that I have left some favorites out.…

Book Outlet- My Favorite Discount Book Site!
I love buying books. It is my guilty pleasure. I don’t buy a lot of clothes…or purses…or shoes. But books? I just can’t stop. I would definitely classify myself as both a reader of books and an OWNER of books. They are two completely separate hobbies and I love them both. But…books are expensive! So, one of my fave ways to score books at a super discounted rate is through Book Outlet. Book Outlet is my go-to for great quality books at super low prices! Have you ever tried them out? Let’s chat! The Scoop on Book Outlet I discovered Book Outlet just over 3 years ago. A fellow bookstagrammer…

My Top 5 Thrillers from 2022
2022 was the year I realized that mystery/thrillers are one of my very favorite genres. I love them. Its the constant guessing game that happens in my head throughout the whole book. I suspect everyone. Elderly grandma in a wheelchair? Oh, yeah…she is on the list. No one is safe. I find myself able to get so lost in these books…probably because I am actively trying to figure out “whodunnit” the entire time. I finished so many amazing thrillers in 2022…but I managed to narrow it down to 5 favorites! So, without further ado, my Top 5 Thrillers from 2022! River of Ashes by Alexandrea Weis and Lucas Astor This…
