I am apart of James Patterson’s Street Team, since he’s the author who got me back into reading as an adult I cherish that they accepted me on the Street Team two years ago.

I was sent a hardcover copy of The Invisible Woman by James Patterson and Susan DiLallo. It published two weeks ago on January 5th.

From New York Times bestselling author​ James Patterson, an undercover FBI agent investigates a family with suspected ties to organized crime—by posing as their live-in nanny.

No one sees her, but she sees everything. Elinor Gilbert was once a young woman with a thriving career at the FBI.

Now decades past solving crimes with the bureau, she is personally and professionally forgettable. 

Which is exactly what her former FBI boss needs. He disguises Elinor as a middle-aged nanny, and casts her as an agent on the inside of his investigation into a New York art dealer suspected of ties to organized crime.   

But as Elinor pushes toward the truth, her superpower—anonymity—morphs into a fatal flaw. 

The more the invisible woman integrates into her “host” family, the more dangerously memorable she becomes.

I was sent the new James Patterson Viola Davis collab titled Judge Stone, which comes out March 9, 2026.

The most respected citizen in Union Springs, Alabama (population 3,314), is Judge Mary Stone. She holds two responsibilities sacred: running her family farm and presiding over her courtroom. It’s there she draws the most controversial case in the history of the South.   
 
Criminally, it’s open-and-shut. 
 
Ethically, there is no middle ground. Essentially, it’s a choice between life and death.
 
No judge can satisfy everyone. It would be dangerous to try. But Judge Stone is willing to fight to bring justice to the people and place she loves.

I am apart of a Facebook group for book challenges/reading. The group has 7.1K people in it and I am not too active on it as of late (because I’ve pulled back on social media a lot this year). Anyway, someone in the group messaged me and asked if I had an Amazon Wishlist I could send her way. Then she messaged me a little while later saying I have a package on it’s way.

I rarely get book mail, so thanks Carla! I’m so excited to share that she sent me….

Three women. Three smouldering secrets. Who will make it out alive?

It’s 5 November, and a woman awakens to a nightmare. Bound and gagged, she lies trapped in the heart of a towering bonfire. As the smoke thickens, panic sets in – she’s moments away from being engulfed in flames. How did it come to this?

Rewind eleven months: Margot, a faded TV star, and her long-suffering friend Anna watch as glamorous Liv and her flawless family move into their street. The three women soon fabricate the perfect pretence of friendship, but each harbours her own deadly secret – and newcomer Liv senses something is terribly wrong beneath the polished exteriors.

As cracks widen in the veneer of perfection and lies escalate out of control, tension ignites. Bonfire Night is approaching and someone is set to burn… But who will it be?
