Wild Dark Shore
•••
Just finished this haunting, beautiful, heartbreaking audiobook. The narration brought the story to life with the voice actors changing between characters. This dystopian-like novel is captivating in it’s ability to balance reality, hope, and grief.

Middle of Nowhere
•••
Kacey Musgraves newest album is a strong return to her earlier music- full of word play, strong country roots, and a diverse mix of songs. You can find me humming Dry Spell.

Hazlett
•••
I found Hazlett recently and I’ve been listening on repeat. It’s like his voice speaks to my soul- soft, soothing, unique. Can’t get enough.

Becoming
•••
Classy and candid, just like Michelle herself. Late to the party with this read. Having Michelle Obama read her memoir to you in the audiobook makes it all the more poignant. Well written and constructed so it reads more like a novel than nonfiction.

The Wedding People
•••
I keep seeing this on RL so need to share my thoughts. Definitely didn’t start as your typical beach read as the title implies. I enjoyed the dark humor, whimsy, and happy ending. Overall, a fun summer romp.

The Nightingale
•••
Woof. So good it hurt. You anticipate what is going to happen to these characters through your knowledge of the Holocaust and it makes your heart hurt as you read this realistic, empowering, tragic tale of 2 sisters that showed bravery and humanity. Starts slow but picks up. Not a happy summer read but I’ll be thinking about it for a while.

Tom Lake
•••
One my first book recs from RL! Listened to Mary Streep weave this quiet, soothing tale of one woman’s life as told to her daughters. Every time I spit out a cherry pit this summer I’ll be thinking of Lara’s girls.

What Happens in Amsterdam
•••
I love me a romance novel with lots of anguish between the main characters. This one delivered with lots of self discovery with the back drop of the canals of Amsterdam. I haven’t had a book keep me up late reading in a while and I was reaching for the caffeine.
