Looking for a good book to curl up with?
Welcome!
Hello, everyone! How was your November?
Today I’m excited to be sharing so many fantastic books with you, both those I’ve read, and many I can’t wait to dive into.
For the romantics—there’s very little of that here.
Not to say there are none but, if you’re looking for an old fashioned happily ever after, you’re likely to be disappointed.
There is, however, a good selection of dark, gritty, edge of your seat kind of reads that may just surprise you.
I will warn you though:
Due to troubling topics and situations some readers may need to check the trigger warnings beforehand.
Enjoy!

What I’m Currently Reading:
Edenville by Sam Rebelein
After publishing his debut novel, The Shattered Man, to disappointing sales and reviews, Campbell P. Marion is struggling to find inspiration for a follow-up. When Edenville College invites him to join as a writer-in-residence, he’s convinced that his bad luck has finally taken a turn. His girlfriend Quinn isn’t so sure—she grew up near Edenville and has good reasons for not wanting to move back. Cam disregards her skepticism and accepts the job, with Quinn reluctantly following along.
But there’s something wrong in Edenville. Despite the charming old ladies milling about Main Street and picturesque sunflowers dotting the sidewalks, poison lurks beneath the surface. As a series of strange and ominous events escalate among Edenville and its residents, Cam and Quinn find themselves entangled in a dark and disturbing history.
What I’d Like to Read Next:

Nice score with the James Patterson series. I think I have read the first five and have several more on my shelf. I need to start reading all those physical books I have. It looks like you had a good reading month, Sheri.
Wow, so many books. Happy reading!
Great book haul! And September House should be very good. It sounded too scary for me but still it tempted me.
Excellent haul! My favorite books of the month (I can’t decide between the two) were Kinfolk by Sean Dietrich and None of This is True by Lisa Jewell. Have a wonderful December Sheri. 💕📚
Oh my goodness, best of luck with Edenville, hope you enjoy it more than I did, lol.
Yeah, unfortunately I didn’t manage to complete Edenville so will be curious to see what you make of it. I enjoyed Starling House (with a few little issues) – she has a beautiful way with words.
I’m hoping to get to September House. I’ve heard good things and I’ve picked up an audio copy.

September House is one of my favorite books of the year, I hope you love it😁
