I just finished Fern Michael's

Fern Michaels' books are always a delightful read and #TheBrightestStar was the perfect way to cozy up on the couch with a spot of tea and unwrap her latest serving. I enjoyed the read as part of my Christmas in July novels. It's a great gift for those in need of a cup of cheer this year!

My Review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Under Pressure is the second in the Lucas Page thriller series by Robert Pobi. Chemistry, physics, and brain-power vs money and thugs. Good read!
4.5★ Link to my Under Pressure review

I hope, I hope, I hope some little girls will be inspired by Corazon Aquino and her passion for democracy! The Philippines needs her kind again. Thanks Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara for another great addition to the Little People BIG IDEAS series.

Recently finished a pleasant read The Shore House by Heidi Hostetter. Check out my review at my webpage https://sandysbookaday.wordpress.com/... or https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Started South of the Buttonwood Tree by Heather Webber

This was a most delightful change of pace from reading thrillers during a pandemic. The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune is Peter Pan in 1984. Both worrying and charming. Absolutely loved it!

Extremely well done historical fiction. Here’s my five star review:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Just Finished:

"No Place too Far" and "The Lying Room"



When it comes to a mother's love, there's "No Place Too Far" that she'll go to protect her child. Kay Bratt pens a tale where Maggie Dalton uproots her life to save her son from their stalker. Settling into Maui's picturesque community, the horrors of her past turn the tranquil scene into a living nightmare.

My Review:

The Lying Room by Nicci French


Once you start lying, the truth is wrapped in a web of lies. Once a tear is revealed, everything starts spiraling out of control leaving the liar exposed and stuck to its sticky surface.

My Review:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
