This is my 2nd Sue Grafton book. I'm hooked! Suspenseful and charming.

Broken Country

book cover


This book is an easy read with a lot of short chapters, and I wanted to keep reading it. There’s a mystery and two twists…one that I saw and one that I didn’t. But it’s a sad book too. I don’t want to write much about it and risk ruining it for anyone. I can’t think of a way to give a summary without giving something away, so just read it for yourself. I think it would make for a good discussion at a book club!

The Yellow Wall Paper

The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a gripping psychological tale of a woman’s descent into madness. Through vivid symbolism and claustrophobic imagery, it critiques the oppression of women and the dangers of silencing their voices. Its a detailed look into unchecked mental illness.

Let Me Show You

Possibly the most lowkey underrated of the McClain series—this one is quiet strength personified. The love story is sweet but still packs plenty of heat. If you like your romance with emotional maturity, steady affection, and subtle intensity, this one will hit the spot.

The Song Of Achilles

5 stars (if I could give it more, I would) This book truly helps me understand why people wish they could read a book for the the first time again. I read this back in 2021-ish and was moved by this story; and still am to this day. But in 2024 I feel like I really dissect this book. The sweet writing of Madeline Miller, every word not wasted and every line like honey. This book is a perfect summer read as well for it’s beautiful scene descriptions: both in safety and peril. The way this book tugs at your heart; the love between Patroclus and Achilles is such a beautiful story of love, friendship and oaths to those you stay loyal to.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the second book in the series. In this book Harry Potter goes to his second year at Hogwarts. An elf comes to visit Harry to tell him that he should not return to Hogwarts that year. Warning him that his second year at Hogwarts would be trouble. I enjoyed reading this book and would rate it a five.

The Summer Pact

From the cover this looks like an easy, breezy beach read but when you open the book there is an immediate trigger warning for suicide. I enjoyed this story of group of collegiate friends and how they deal with the challenges of grief, life and what might have been.
