I finished The Ghost Tree and I recommend it - it was a fun read, just the right amount of spooky and I liked the story. Small town with secrets, witches, and a young heroine at the center!
I just started The Secret Lives of Church Ladies, a short story collection by Deesha Philyaw and it is so so good - I loved the first two stories.

I bailed on The Perfect Marriage after a few chapters. The writing style wasn’t for me. I may try it again another time.
I started The Boy From the Woods by Harlan Coben instead and I’m enjoying it so far.

I finished Mexican Gothic last night. I loved the first half. Good characters and excellent Gothic atmosphere. But then it all took a turn plot-wise that left me very meh.

I made a small big mistake and joined the Peloton Mom’s book club on FB. I was already inundated with TBR rec’s and now there’s no way to surface. Goodbye life, you can find me under a book if you need me. 😬😁

I started one of Colleen Hoovers newer books-- Layla. Hoping to like it but her books are hit or miss for me. I absolutely love all her books. I did not finish this one so I am interested in your take I read more last night and am kind of into it, but can tell it's starting to get a little weird.

Ok I need someone to explain tik tok like I'm a 90 year old technologically illiterate woman. I downloaded it. Sometimes I can find things but how do you get to book tok? Just type in books in the search bar?

angelashly, Pistol if you search the # on tiktok #booktok you can see all the videos that come up, there is a whole community of authors, readers, all generes etc. It's awesome. I love to watch videos of reactions to books, it's fun! Youtube is new to me and I don't know how the videos came up in my home page, but I started with top 10 lists of books for 2020 and have spiraled for there. You could search book top 10's and find videos that way.

The last 1/4 was fun but didn't really make up for it imo. But I did just get a puppy and named her Layla so I bought a copy of the book for that reason alone lol.

I think I want some sort of messy romance book next. Like girl marries boy, boy love's girl's sister, girl ends up pregnant but doesn't know who the dad is because she also hooked up with some guy she met at a bar. All the twisty turns and mess.

Or if you’re wanting several there’s a series by Emily Goodwin called Love is Messy. I’ve only read the first one (hot mess) but it’s a single mom who is in love with her boss but then has a one night stand with his brother.

Hi everyone. I'm jumping in here. I finished The Sanatorium and was kind of disappointed in the ending. I started All the Ugly and Wonderful Things and I somehow missed all of the controversy about the book initially, and definitely couldn't continue reading it once things got weird. So, now I'm reading a book my grandma sent me, Magic Hour by Kristin Hannah.
