Hello everyone,

I posted some (quick) reviews this week!

First on Tuesday, the Top Ten Tuesday theme was “One Word Reviews of the Last 10 Books I Read”. Here are mine, and I guess now you could say I reviewed at least 10 books this week!

And then, this weekend, I shared some quick reviews for 3 thrillers I listened to recently : These Silent Woods by Kimi Cunningham Grant – A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham – The Overnight Guest by Heather Gudenkauf. I enjoyed all of them, especially These Silent Woods.

And now, our main attraction : the book haul.

I mentioned last week that I was expecting some big hauls with preorders + library holds coming through at the same time, so this is what happened with 3 preorders and 4 holds being available at the same time. I always hesitate to include library holds as I don’t always get to them right away, but most of the time I do end up reading them eventually.

I already listened to People Love Dead Jews this weekend and thought it was an impactful read. I’m thinking of getting a copy for my shelves eventually.

Also loving the spring colors on most of these!
