When copywriter Anne Kaier stops traffic to rescue a stray cat, neither she nor the cat knows what lies in store … You’ll lose yourself in this witty, true-life story of how Anne hopes a beguiling cat called Henry can help her as a single woman in the amped-up city. But first, how will she lure Henry out from under the bed-when not even her ten-year-old nephew can get him to stir?
A very special thanks to #partner @kaieranne & @tlcbooktours for this #gifted copy!

A struggling couple’s 19th anniversary celebratory date night takes a shocking turn. Will they save their lives or, harder yet, their marriage?โฃ
โฃ
This story was equal parts improbable and relatable. The banter between the characters was, at times, hilarious. While I did have to suspend disbelief over several plot developments, I ended up enjoying this book and rooting for the main couple to not just survive the night, but for them and their relationship to thrive. โฃ
โฃ
If you enjoyed the movie, The Menu, this is the book for you! โฃ
โฃ
The audiobook kept me engaged whenever I had to put down my book (a girls gotta fold laundry). Narrated by Hillary Huber who did a brilliant job with the dialogue and kept the characters sounding both separate and distinct. An easy listen! โฃ

Aiden, the host of Baltimore’s romance hotline, has fallen out of love with love. But when a young girl calls into the station asking for dating advice for her mom Lucie, the interview goes viral and thrusts them into the spotlight. โฃ
โฃ
Lucie, who feels fulfilled and didn’t feel her life was missing anything begins to question if she’s as happy as she believed. Perhaps a little romance in her life wouldn’t be such a bad thing and agrees to place her romantic fate in the hands of Baltimore callers and its host Aiden. โฃ
โฃ
This was my first book by the author, and it didn’t disappoint. I enjoyed the banter and the overall Sleepless in Seattle’esque storyline. There were some great swoon worthy moments with the push and pull of new romance along with realistic characters I could root for! โฃ
โฃ
I read both the book and listened to the audiobook which had 2 narrators (one for each POV). Both did brilliantly at conveying the emotion of the character. I highly recommend either reading with your eyes or your ears! โฃ

๐ฏ๏ธ BOOK REVIEW ๐ฏ๏ธ
“How often, in the world, is silence what allows horrible people to get away with their crimes?”
SOCIETY OF LIES
By: Lauren Ling Brown
How far would you go to belong?
Maya has returned to Princeton for her 10 year college reunion and to attend the graduation of her little sister, Naomi.
But what promised to be a fun weekend of old friends and festivities soon becomes a nightmare when Naomi is found dead. The police are calling it an accident, but there is more to the story than they are letting on.
As Maya begins to piece together what happened in the months leading up to her death, she begins to realize how much her little sister hid from and patterned after her. Including joining The Sterling Club and potentially the secret society within it.
Now every clue is leading Maya back to the past . . . and to the secret she’s kept all these years.
MY REVIEW:
I am a sucker for dark academia so I was excited going in. The story started out strong with an interesting premise and solid scene setting. However, towards the middle, it began to lag and the multiple POVs created an overlap which felt repetitive at times. The dialogue was solid and the overall story did give off some of the academia vibes I was looking for but the characters felt undefined and interchangeable. Overall, I’m glad I read it but I won’t be one I will revisit.

A special shout out to my favorite candlemaker @janzywaxco for creating the most amazing scented candles! The Dark Academia is one of my top 10 scents that I’ve purchased from her despite loving them all! โฃ

โฃ
Living in Greece at the turn of the twentieth century, widow Minnie Harper struggles to find her place in a swiftly changing world. But when a local woman is murdered, her resolve is put to the test in a race to shed light on the truth . . .โฃ
โฃ
Minnie Harper isn’t used to putting herself first. Not after she moved away from England only to be left raising two children alone on the Greek Island of Corfu following her husband’s unexpected death. But with her daughter begging to be sent to school abroad and her son grasping at his own independence, Minnie realizes she must prepare for the next stage of her life.โฃ
โฃ
When famous mystery author Stephen Dorian settles into a neighboring villa to escape writer’s block and hidden scandals, she is intrigued at first by the handsome Londoner—until he proves to be nothing more than a boorish grump. Determined to avoid the man as much as possible, Minnie is shocked when he offers her a well-paid job as his typist. She isn’t in a position to turn down work, even from a man she has sworn to hate.โฃ
โฃ
But before Minnie can fully regret her decision to take the job, she makes a horrifying discovery that changes everything. A young maid has been murdered, and local authorities aren’t moving fast enough to bring justice to the terrible crime. Unwilling to allow the death to fade into obscurity like the stories of so many other women deemed unworthy by society, Minnie launches an investigation of her own—and reluctantly accepts Stephen’s help. As she embarks on a dangerous search for answers that reveals another side of Corfu, unsettling questions take shape about her employer-turned-confidant and the culprit who just might do whatever it takes to strike again . . .โฃ

โฃ
Nestled among the cobblestone streets of Compiègne, there existed a bakery unlike any other. โฃ
โฃ
Rumours were whispered through the town that its pastries offered a taste of magic, chasing away the darkest of sorrows. Just one bite of a croissant might bring luck, unlock a precious memory or reveal hidden longings. But dark clouds were looming on the horizon…โฃ
โฃ
For Edie Lane, a recipe for disaster doesn’t require that many ingredients. Take an unhealthy amount of wishful thinking and a sprinkle of desperation and that’s how Edie left everything behind in Ireland for her dream job at a bakery in Paris. Except the bakery isn’t in Paris – and neither is Edie.โฃ โฃ
This might not be where Edie intended to be but she soon realizes it’s exactly where she needs to be…โฃ

When Tam’s estranged Aunt Tigress is found brutally murdered, Tam inherits an undead fox in a shoebox, and an CD ensemble of old enemies.โฃ
โฃ
The demons, the ghosts, the gods running coffee shops by the river? Fine. The tentacled thing stalking Tam across the city? Absolutely not. And when Tam realizes the girl she’s falling in love with might be yet another loose end from her past? That’s just the brassy, beautiful cherry on top.โฃ
โฃ
Because no matter how quietly she lives, Tam can’t hide from her voracious upbringing, nor the suffering she caused. As she navigates romance, redemption, and the end of the world, she can’t help but wonder…โฃ
โฃ
Do monsters even deserve happy endings? With worldbuilding inspired by Chinese folklore and the Siksiká Nation in Canada, LGBTQIA+ representation & sapphic romance, Aunt Tigress draws from the past while being unique and innovative.โฃ

The long-awaited sequel to the #1 international bestseller The Cat Who Saved Books!โฃ
โฃ
A chronic asthma condition prevents thirteen-year-old Nanami from playing sports or spending time with her friends after school. But nothing can stop her from one of her favorite activities. Nanami loves to read and happily spends much of her free time in the library, cocooned among the stacks.โฃ
โฃ
Then one day, Nanami notices that, despite the library being as deserted as ever, some of her favorite books, including literary classics like Arsène Lupin, Gentleman Thiefand Anne of Green Gables are disappearing from the shelves. When she alerts the library staff, they dismiss her concerns. But just as Nanami is about to return to her reading, she spots a suspicious man in a gray suit. Eager to discover what he’s up to, she follows him. The chase is cut short when Nanami suffers an asthma attack. By the time she catches her breath, the man has disappeared and all that is left behind is a mysterious light filtering through the library’s familiar passageways.โฃ
โฃ
That’s when Tiger, the talking tabby cat who saves books, comes to the rescue. Are Nanami and Tiger prepared to face the dangerous challenges that lie ahead? Why are faceless gray soldiers burning books in a stone castle? And what happened to Rintaro, the socially withdrawn hero who helped Tiger save books in a second-hand bookshop? At a time of increased book bannings worldwide, Sosuke Natsukawa urges us not to underestimate the power of great literature—and to be prepared to defend our freedom to choose.โฃ
