I have seen The Flatshare around but for some reason never thought it was for me. Thankfully my library had a different idea and included it in my library subscription service for this month. Synopsis from Goodreads: After a bad breakup, Tiffy Moore needs a place to live. Fast. And cheap. But the apartments in…

Year of the Reaper by Makiia Lucier
I probably would not have picked up Year of the Reaper if both the Popsugar challenge and Around the Year in 52 books challenge hadn’t had prompts for “A book by an Asian or Pacific Islander author’. I wanted to focus on Pacific Islander authors because I know that is an area of talent I…
The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston
I’m not sure where to start with The Dead Romantics – I loved it so much. It was heart warming, sweet, poignant, funny, and heart breaking. I laughed throughout, and cried throughout. And not just teared up, but full on crying, can’t see my puzzle enough to work on it, crying. The Dead Romantics synopsis…

Quick synopsis: Mara, Sadie, and Hannah are friends first, scientists always. Though their fields of study might take them to different corners…
Upgrade by Blake Crouch
Blake Crouch always makes me think. I loved Dark Matter, even though my brain felt like it might explode. Even more so with Recursion. So I went in to Upgrade expecting the same level of mind boggling-ness. From Goodreads: At first, Logan Ramsay isn’t sure if anything’s different. He just feels a little . ….
