April Reading Wrap-Up
Another great reading month! Here's a little about each of the titles I read:
Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler– OMG – this an amazing dystopian with a gripping plot and sky-high stakes.
Gothictown by Emily Carpenter – A Southern gothic where big, beautiful houses are being sold for only $100…but then new residents start finding things getting weird and a little creepy…
The Library of Lost Dollhouses by Elise Hooper – A fabulous dual timeline historical fiction where a hidden dollhouse beings to unearth some unexpected and fascinating secrets.
The Sirens by Emilia Hart – A beautifully written dual-timeline about two sets of sisters who are drawn toward the sea with a hint of magical realism.
Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall – A woman’s life is complicated by the return of a former love.
Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy – A science center on a remote island that is slowly being destroyed and evacuated – it’s such a creepy setting paired with a woman who has washed up on shore in search of her husband she fears may have been murdered…
She Came to Slay by Erica Armstrong Dunbar – This was a short read about the incredible life of Harriet -Tubman and the many battles she was up against in her life.
A Girl Within a Girl Within a Girl by Nanda Reddy Author – This was such a powerful, incredible read about a woman whose life is at risk by her past, which includes a raw, unflinching look at the life of a young girl trapped in indentured servitude.
The Amalfi Curse by Sarah Penner – Sea witches in the past, a nautical archeologist in search of treasure in the present, and an atmospheric read that will have you booking a flight to Positano.
The Villa by Rachel Hawkins – The ultimate girl power thriller (is that a thing? It needs to be if not!) about art from pain in a fascinating dual-timeline that features influencers, rock stars, and some serious betrayal.
