Maggie’s upright world which she’s carefully curated, suddenly tilts on an unbalanced plane. Talk to me! Will Maggie tell Hubert about Claude? Will Claude tell his parents about him and Daisy? What do you think will happen next?

Maggie got a man, and he ain’t at home. The manhunt is still on and it’s not without consequences. What else will she go through to get her baby?

Here we are, book three in the Lexington, Alabama series, Love, Honor, Betray by Mary Monroe and it was something else, ya’ll.

Natalie’s been passed up for a promotion, lives with a clingy best friend, and dating a man that’s B-O-S-S-Y (always making decisions for her). I didn’t want to be with her in this moment. Let’s be real. It sucked (lol).

Remember when I said I had Darknesses on my nightstand and needed to read it soon? Well, I finally did it; it was quite an adventure. Darknesses by Lachelle Seville is a sapphic, gothic, Dracula-inspired novel that has had traction in the book community circles I follow. I chose the book purely by faith in the readers that suggested, and as usual, I didn’t know what I was getting into. That’s nothing new. Now, having finished the book, I wish I would have asked them why they enjoyed it.

Challenges! How many us of choose them? Challenges! Ones we can depend on…to challenge and mold us into a better person than we were before? I have some and below are the one’s I’ll be tackling in 2023. Read on for more.

It’s common knowledge that artists can be sensitive about their work. In The Last Word, Taylor Adams zooms in on this and creates a fast-paced, action-packed, almost campy, good, old, wackadoodle time of a novel.

A family on the run, in need of money and shelter, but we don’t know why. Insert a haunted house, whose owner is willing to pay the father of said family, to stay there, but won’t go inside or stay in the house themselves. For the “right” amount of money, will he risk it all? Would you stay in the spite house?

I read 5 books in January 2023: 1 x Short Story Collection, 1 x Graphic Novel, 2 x Audiobooks, and 1 Fiction Novel. More details in the post! Let’s get into it!

Mrs. Wiggins was a good time, but there were some things that I noted that may be goofy to some and useful to others. Follow me further…

I read Piñata by Leopoldo Gout for a book club and here are my thoughts. I liked the prologue of this book. I will mention that more than once in this review. It was so impactful and set up the scene for a great story. Based on the prologue alone, I was convinced that the story would build around it and be more fleshed out.

Come see. I have something to say about chapters 1 through 4 of Mrs. Wiggins. Will this marriage last? How long will their marriage be believable before someone finds out that it doesn’t operate like a traditional marriage?
