The Mother Next Door: Medicine, Deception, and Munchausen by Proxy by Andrea Dunlop, Mike Weber

5.0

While the cases in this book were horrifying and unconscionable the audiobook production, narration and all the research behind the cases were simply outstanding! This book was so utterly heartbreaking, but a definite must read for people and medical professionals who are in contact with children on a regular basis.

Also I need to start listening to the podcast of this author, read her whole backlist, AND HAVE HER NARRATE MY WHOLE LIFE AND ANY AUDIOBOOK I EVER READ GOING FORWARD!!! Her voice was so caring and comforting! 

Thank you so much to Macmillan Audio for the gifted ALC!!! #MacAudio2025

DANG, @dawnkurtagich has hooked me again!!!! 🖤

I started this book late last night and I’m really really enjoying it!!! My first foray into Dawn’s writing was this past summer when I ARC read The Madness, thanks to @htpbooks !!! that book was a 5⭐️ for me and this one is looking like it’ll be that same. After I finish this book I’ll be reading @dawnkurtagich ‘s entire backlist because her writing is just…

Love in Bloom by Lucy Eden

4.25

This book was the perfect fast-paced small town romance that had me laughing out loud, giggling and swooning , and had me cheering on the characters fiercely🤎 

The originality of the premise really made it not your normal “big city gal inherits property in a small country town” trope, and that really added to my enjoyment of the book!!!

Death in the Downline by Maria Abrams

LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS BOOK THAT MADE ME LOL SO HARD!💀🤭😂

 I very rarely read cozy mysteries, but when I saw this anti-MLM cozy mystery I HAD TO READ! This book is snarky and funny, too relatable, and I absolutely love the (faux) true-crime podcast that is integrated into the story. I would love to hear this as an audiobook because of that specific feature!

What could go wrong (or right😉) with your ex bff’s older sister/your first real crush/world renowned winemaker coming back to your small town to moonlight as a winemaker at you family’s vineyard for months while your winemaker dad goes to his home country for an extended stay to look after your aging Nonna?!

This book was the best mix of funny, heartfelt, and warm, fuzzy, and spicy feelings in true @laurapiperlee fashion! Another absolutely wonderful 5 star read!

Thank you to the author for the review copy of this book and to the publisher for the alc copy of this book!
The Love Lyric by Kristina Forest

4.0

One thing about me is I love a celebrity/musical artist romance so this one was such a treat! Iris and Angel’s romance was slow-burn, tender and soft but I really loved every second of their love story and was so happy that this book in particular was final book in The Greene Sister series (because Iris is my personal favorite)! 

4.0⭐️
