Pandemic Romance
The toilet paper incident got me into this book, what crazy times?! His poor sister had to suffer and get her revenge. I don't know how I feel about them getting kinda stalkerish but it worked out and they make a pretty cute couple. I LOVE the cover to this and I think a lot of teens can identify because they have been unable to meet people at school or basically anywhere and as and adult that has already gotten my masters with no worries about a crush... I could never imagine what it is is like for this youngsters.

My coworker read this book as well but didn't like how whiney the boy was but i think they are like a ying and yang couple where she is confident and aggressive while he is sweet and meek. In fact they would have never seen each other again if it wasn't for his sister needing more tp because of her Crohn's disease. Its funnier now that we are not actually going through a tp pandemic :/

By Emma Hamm
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Freya knows the sound of goblin bells. She knows to move to the side of the road and let them pass. Never buy any of their wares. And above all else, never make a deal with the monstrous beasts.

But when her sister takes a necklace and is kidnapped, Freya knows there is no other choice. She must journey to the realm of the fae where the Goblin King himself has stolen her sister. Once there, she must perform four tasks to save the only family she has left.

The Goblin King won't make this easy, however. He always seems one step ahead of her. To defeat him, she'll have to put everything on the line.

Even her heart.


I really enjoyed this! It was all fairytale vibes and such a sweet story. The characters were all such fun and it’s definitely a tale of don’t judge before you have taken the time to get to know. Really enjoyable light read.

Truth: This is Another Good Mystery
Phyllida is back in Listleigh and surprised when she is invited to a dinner party a neighbor is throwing. But the favor she is asked gets forgotten when another guest announces she’s witnessed a murder. The next morning, her sister is found run over by a car. Did the killer get the wrong sister?

I got excited when I realized this book was riffing on one of the few Agatha Christie novels I’ve actually read. Of course, it takes the premise and goes off in some other directions. It took me a little while to get into the story, but I did get hooked before we reached the logical climax. This book builds on some developments from the previous one, which I liked. And I enjoyed getting to know the new characters and spending time with the returning ones. The historic details are fun as well. While Agatha Christie fans will especially enjoy this series, anyone who loves a good mystery will be glad they picked it up. And that’s no lie.
