➜ Friday Finds & Reader Recommendations – 11-10-2023 <— 26 books on today's list (including two books that are on Netflix right now), plus... my current favorite coffee. 😉 

Tasha J: ...I really loved it. It’s been some time since I read something more heartfelt and emotional and it was really well written and I was more than invested in the story and journey of the characters.

 

Aimee: ...love a slow burn and this had somewhat of love triangle. ❤️  this was my 2nd book by her and will be wanting more.

The Author says:

“As a former television sports reporter I wanted to write a domestic thriller whose heroine had the same occupation. But that’s kind of where the similarities end because Kate Green is way cooler than me. 

 

Where I’m a soccer mom, she’s an Olympic soccer gold medalist. I chase my three dogs around the yard, she chases bad guys through the mansions of Greenwich, Connecticut and the hidden tunnels of Madison Square Garden. And, of course, her demons are way more interesting and darker than mine.”

➜ Book Review – The Sweet Gum Tree by Katherine Allred <--- 12 years ago today, this book took us by storm!

Kristal: Omg! I loved this book! I just wish I hadn’t started it at 10pm. I couldn’t put it down and read it start through. My kids didn’t get the memo that I went to sleep about 3am so I am going to be tired today! So good! So far, all your reviews of books you’ve really liked, I’ve really like. I’m so glad I stumbled upon your blog!

 

Sara: I’m a little over 1/2 way through and I don’t know how many times I’ve had to fight tears. ugh.. intense, but really good. Katie hit me for a loop as it hit too close to home. So glad to find this book.. really really good!

 

Tori: I LOVED this book! I read ’til the wee hours of the morning just to finish ’cause I just couldn’t put it down, and now that it’s over, I keep replaying parts of it in my head. (sigh) Thanks again for such great finds!
