    Mary Jane

    Want to be transported to another decade? One where life was a little less complicated, but still just as interesting? I introduce you to Mary Jane by Jessica Anya Blau. Mary Jane is a coming-of-age story about a teenage girl who finds herself caught between pleasing her straight-laced family and being her true self in front of the progressive family she nannies for. Recommended for those who love Almost Famous and books like Daisy Jones & the Six, I can see the appeal. Mel's

The last few follow up novels I have read by authors have fallen flat for me. The saying "sophomore slump" came to mind when reading them and a general feeling of disappointment. I did not feel that with Young Mungo. It met and exceeded all my expectations. Decidin

    These Silent Woods

    I have another atmospheric suspenseful book to add to your reading list. These Silent Woods by Kimi Cunningham Grant is filled with tension, with a strong sense of place and characters that will tug at your heartstrings. I really enjoyed this one and it was a departure from some of the typical thriller tropes that I tend to read. Synopsis: No electricity, no family, no connection to the outside world. Father and daughter, Cooper and Finch, live in a remote cabin in the Appala
