My hold for Love, Theoretically just came in. Ali Hazelwood books might all be in the same "world," but I have no problem with that. They're so fun.

Agree. The first chapter was amazing, but after that, meh.

- Warrior Girl Unearthed by Angeline Boulley
Teenage Ojibwe girl works to reclaim and return/rebury ancestors (and their possessions) stolen from graves in the name of anthropology.

- Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver
Retelling of David Copperfield in Appalachia: opioid crisis, “deplorables”, foster care, Appalachian culture/setting, addiction, redemption.

- The Change by Kirsten Miller
Thanks to those who recommended here! Middle aged women discover their powers and work together to solve a series of murders.

I want to read the first and third ones!!

I want to go re-read three Faye Kellerman books about a mob boss who gives his kid to the detective investigating him.

I am reading Loot by Tania James, which is really good.

Check out The Tea Rose trilogy. It's an all time favorite of mine!

That sounds good. Is it well written? Title?

I just finished Counterfeit about luxury bag knockoffs, which was light and fun and above average for something in that “class” of book.

The Covenant of Water was worthwhile but it could have been 1/3 to 1/2 shorter. There’s no comparison to Cutting for Stone, but if judged on its own it’s somewhere between ok and good.

I am in line for Lone Women, Yellowface, and a new book about hackers.

What's the new book about hackers?

I’m reading it now and it’s depressing but I like the Korean food theme. She sounds like she was a pretty horrible teenager.

Just got in my summer groove by reading the newest Elim Hilderbrand book " The Five Star Weekend"

Started the month with Nora Goes Off Script and loved it. Now on Exiles by Jane Harper. Pretty similar setup to all her other books but it still works.

Yay!! I really liked that one.

Ashley Audrain, author of The Push, just released her second book, The Whispers. Much like The Push, it is very dark and disturbing. I couldn't put it down.

I also finished The Mostly True Story of Tanner and Louise and loved it. If you need a fun summer read, I recommend it.

I need to start The Reading List for book club. I think I'll do that on audio. For my print book I'm either going to read The Celebrants by Steven Rowley or The Quiet Tenant by Clemence Michallon.
