Monthly Book Reviews: February 2020

February 25, 2020 by Melanie

Well I got 2 library books and pushed my February BOTM to March. I'm actually planning on getting a Kindle (again) next month because I've recently learned you can load library books onto a Kindle (whaaa?). So while I really really do prefer physical books, I'm gonna try that out for a bit since its ...

Monthly Book Reviews: January 2020

February 4, 2020 by Melanie

The month of the thrillers... The Wives by Tarryn Fisher (BOTM) I was really looking forward to this book due to everyone raving on it in the BOTM Facebook group. I'm a sucker for a good psychological thriller, and this had the bonus of being pretty short too (which I welcomed after the last ...

Remember monthly favorites posts? Those were fun, but for some reason I stopped doing them. I think this year I'm going to start a Quarterly Favorites (because a month seems too often). As a way to kick it off, I figured I'd compile my favorites of 2019! These are all products I purchased last year ...

December 11, 2019 by Melanie

Christmas is 2 weeks away, but here I am just sharing my November books. Better late than never! The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell (BOTM) I don't require too much for a 5 star thriller...just to keep me completely engrossed throughout and have a decent ending. The Family Upstairs is ...

Monthly Book Reviews: October 2019

November 6, 2019 by Melanie

This month's books are both from Book of the Month, but neither are one of the actual October choices. I just wasn't into any of this month's selections (no thrillers for October? 😭) so they let me chose a member favorite which is how I ended up with Well Met! The Devil in the White City by Erik ...
