* Not That I Could Tell, by Jessica Strawser was my Book of the Month pick! It was described to me as Big Little Lies meets Gone Girl, and that’s pretty much exactly it. (For the record, I did like the Nightingale better, but that’s one of the best books I’ve ever read.)
I know a lot of you didn’t love this one (based on DM’s that I received) but I really enjoyed it. This one is sad, but it’s an amazing story – and having read The Nightingale, really showcases Kristin Hannah’s versatility as an author. What I took away from it (and loved) most were the strong female characters – and their unbreakable relationships. In between there is a love story, a murder, and so much more. There are so many messages within the book, but really it’s the story of survival – and the strength that Leni and her mother find. Her dad is a Vietnam vet (suffering from major PTSD which went undiagnosed at the time). It’s set in the seventies – the story of Leni and her parents, who move from Portland to Alaska.
But also very uplifting at the same time. (I’ve never been into books about survival/cold weather or Alaska), but I wanted to read this as I absolutely love the author ( The Nightingale was one of my favorite books you can read my review of it here). * The Great Alone, by Kristin Hannah is definitely a departure for me in terms of the books I typically like to read.
and you can filter + search by genre (memoir, light read, historical fiction, thriller, etc!) to find exactly what you’re looking for And of course, you can also take a peek at March’s reading list, which was a good one – I read seven books last month!! Also, in case you can’t wait til next month, I always add whatever it is that I’m currently reading to my Amazon Shop.ĪND! Please comment and tell me what you are reading… your suggestions are my FAV… I literally shop the comments section of these post – you always have such good recommendations for me, which I really appreciate! I have literally listed I’ve read in the past few years…. If you’re looking for a book, don’t forget – you can always check out my Book Club Page. Isn’t it the best when you forget about one of your favorite shows and then there’s an entire season to binge!? This month I added ratings to my reviews… hope that’s helpful! This was a slightly lighter month reading wise as I got sucked back into Blindspot on TV. My favorite book this month (far and away) was The Alice Network, which was recommended to me by SO many of you! I’m so glad I finally picked it up! My copy is now with my mom and she is loving it too. Another month of reading! Honestly, this month was a mixed bag.
