    The Lincoln Highway

    The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles was just what I needed to get out of my book slump. The last few books I have read have been sub-par and I've been having a hard time finding something that really pulls me in. That is, until I picked up this beauty. The Lincoln Highway was also my first foray into Amor Towles. After finishing, it will not be my last. Synopsis: Set in 1950's America, Emmett Watson has just been released from a reform school where he served a one year sentenc

    True Crime Recs

    I have been on a true crime kick lately. I recently finished the audio for I'll be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara and followed that up with Unmasked by Paul Holes.

I found this one was more of a slow paced mystery, more than anything. Synopsis: Travis Wren is hired to find Maggie St. James, a childre

    The Charm Offensive

    I took a break from the heavy lit fic and dark thrillers to read a *gasp* romance novel! I can count on one hand how many romance novels I have read, especially rom-coms, but that is all the more reason to branch out of my comfort zone. The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun is absolutely adorable. A rom-com novel about finding love in the most unique places, even on the production sidelines of a cringy Bachelor-esque production show. Synopsis: Dev Deshpande believes in fairy
