BOOK REVIEWS
Rakiya: Stories of Bulgaria (by Ellis Shuman)
There’s a literary account I follow on X in which the person is from Bulgaria. Her posts are mostly author-related; however, she occasionally writes about Bulgaria and other countries...
A Grown-Up Guide to Dinosaurs (by Ben Garrod)
Like a lot of people, the Jurassic Park movies sparked my curiosity about dinosaurs. So when I saw this short Audible Original Podcast offered as part of my Audible membership, I easily added it to my library.
The Roommate (by Dervla McTiernan)

Lady Killer (by Lisa Scottoline)
I became a fan of Lisa Scottoline when I met her in 2018 on her book tour for After Anna. I was immediately drawn to her warm, excitable personality. She tells great stories, in person and her writing. I love all her books I’ve read. Sadly, Lady Killer is my least favorite. ☹️

This is my first time reading the amazing writer duo, Liv Constantine. I love that sisters Lynne and Valerie Constantine have become a writing team, producing suspenseful stories. The Last Time I Saw You took me…
As Long As We Both Shall Live (by JoAnn Chaney)
I’m trying to be better at bailing on books I’m not that crazy about or are ‘just okay.’ It’s not my intention to be critical or discourage anyone else from reading a particular book. There’s just so many adventures…
