The only thing of note is that my husband won free concert tickets on the radio and we went to go see Patrick Mayberry, Seph Schlueter and Crowder at the NJPAC in Newark, NJ. And the seats were fantastic- we were in the third row!!!!

The weather this week has been HOT during the day and GORGEUS at night. After work I’ve been sitting in the yard and trying to get my skin used to the sunlight again (so I don’t burn this summer lol). The dog has been loving being able to run around in the yard. Sunshine really does wonders for my soul!


Also, I need to catch up with everyone and I’m so sorry I’ve been super distant in the blogosphere. I have mostly just been avoiding being online for relaxing and reading time.

I am listening to The Launch Party by Lauren Forry, an Edelweiss ARC I received in 2024 and hadn’t gotten around to reading it via Kindle. It’s a slow paced mystery set on the moon. It’s not holding my attention at the moment so I have been barely listening.

I am reading Yours Always by Corinne Sullivan on my Kindle. I’m into the story and hope to have it done in the next day or so.

For no reason I am rewatching Altered Carbon. Joel Kinneman just does it for me, what can I say?

WWW Wednesday – April 15, 2026

Welcome to WWW Wednesday! This meme was formerly hosted by MizB at A Daily Rhythm and revived on Taking on a World of Words.

The Three Ws are: What are you currently reading? What did you recently finish reading? What do you think you’ll read next?

I am about to listen to The Launch Party by Lauren Forry. I borrowed the audiobook of an Edelweiss ebook I accepted awhile back and haven’t gotten around to reading. Easy way to catch up on my ARCs TBR shelf.

On my Kindle I am reading Yours Always by Corinne Sullivan. It was an Amazon First Reads choice last month, and it’ll work for a HRCYED prompt I need. I’m about halfway through the book at this point.

Also on Kindle I am tackling book 2 in the Vegas Shadows series The Night Watcher by Victor Methos. I just received book 3 via NetGalley and wanna read it as soon as possible lol.


I reviewed both of these on Storygraph last week.


All of these above books I need for multiple challenges I am doing. I am trying to juggle everything lol!!!

Stacking The Shelves #10

When a terrifying new killer targets Detective Lazarus Holloway’s inner circle, he ventures into the darkest corners of the city to unmask the murderer—and the one who’s really pulling the strings.

Lazarus Holloway is no stranger to violent crime. The seasoned detective has built a career on weeding out the worst of the worst from the glittering streets of Las Vegas.

But he never knew the worst could get this bad.

The Bone Stalker is a new kind of murderous. His MO is brutal, calculated, and ritualistic, removing only specific bones from his victims’ bodies. Each bone taken has a symbolic meaning…and they all tie back to Lazarus himself.

As Lazarus digs deeper with the help of investigative partner and guardian ad litem Piper Danes, they discover the detective isn’t the only connection. But before they can unravel the web of lies that’s been spun through the city for years, the killer ensnares another innocent in his trap.

Someone close to Lazarus becomes the bait. And he’ll stop at nothing to get her back—even if it means embracing the darkness he’s spent his life fighting against. 

Note: This is Book 3 in the Vegas Shadows trilogy.

Proof of Price: $0.00

I did not post a Sunday Salon last week because my mother was in the hospital from March 30 until April 8, after her routine procedure did not go according to plan. My family is in North Carolina and I am in New Jersey, so I had only been getting text and phone call updates about her condition. It had been so hard being a million miles away from them during this rough time! She is currently home and doing well, thank God!

Easter Sunday was last week! The kids were home to celebrate the holiday with my husband and I. We did our traditional things like going to church in the morning, followed by watching a Sight & Sound DVD of Jesus. Then a nice relaxing dinner and we always play a board game after.

Of course, once we came home from church everyone changed into comfy clothes and we did not take one family photo. What a fail!

Also, I need to catch up with everyone and I’m so sorry I’ve been super distant in the blogosphere. I have mostly just been avoiding socials and being online for relaxing and reading time… and some video game time as well lol.

I am listening to Hellbound Guilds & Other Misdirections via Libby. It should be finished later today. I am reading Yours Always by Corinne Sullivan on my Kindle. So far it’s just alright but I’m only like 10% in. And still slowly getting through The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch. The heavy sci-fi aspects were intriguing at first, but starting to lose me as the story is progressing.

SUCH a rough week at work this entire week. The whole thing threw off my vibe when I got home. I didn’t read as much as I had planned. I played a cozy video game and really did a whole bunch of nothing, my brain too scrambled for much. Uugghhhhhh!

My husband and I went out to dinner on Friday night. We had a great time!

Made a lot of progress on Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister. Should be done with it before the month is over.

I saw The Gone World come up on my Tiktok FYP… billed as Inception meets True Detective and since Inception is one of my favorite movies I wanted to read this book. I borrowed the large print edition from my library. And honestly, I may be borrowing MORE large print editions of books because the small print just isn’t doing it for me anymore.

I just started Keep Them Close by David Ellis, a NetGalley ARC.

Welcome to WWW Wednesday! This meme was formerly hosted by MizB at A Daily Rhythm and revived on Taking on a World of Words.

The Three Ws are: What are you currently reading? What did you recently finish reading? What do you think you’ll read next?

I am reading The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch. I found this novel being talked about on TikTok and borrowed it from my library. It’s great so far!!!!

I am currently dual reading/listening to Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister. This one is absolutely holding my interest!!!!

On my Kindle I am about to start Keep Them Close by David Ellis, a NetGalley ARC I have.

I was drawn to the premise, but after awhile I knew this one just wasn’t for me. Definitely not a bad story, YA Fantasy just doesn’t hold my interest anymore.

These books are on my April TBR. I am leaving April open to just read whatever I feel like reading.

Monday my husband had the day off of work, so after I got in the door I convinced him to take my daughter and I out to dinner (so I didn’t have to cook lol). We went to my daughters favorite local Italian restaurant and we had a good time spending time together.

Tuesday I went to work till 1:30pm, then had an appointment at 2:15pm and was there so long that I didn’t get home till after 4pm (the office is literally 9 minutes from my house). I was completely wiped out! Buuuuttttttt, while I was at work my neighbor had a tree removed from his yard, and the company grinded the stump of the tree. No markouts were put down beforehand, so when my internet stopped working a half hour after the company was out there working my husband figured they hit the internet cable in the ground. I had to be on the phone with the internet company for almost an hour (that was a long story). I ate dinner, took a shower and went to bed!

Wednesday I had had it up to here with one of my coworkers. I almost walked out! Very stressful day. When I got home I didn’t have the energy to even lift a finger.

Thursday the cable company came by after I got home from work and fixed the cable cord. Woohoo!! My daughter and I went to BJs and Walmart to get snacks and drinks to stock up her dorm room with. We also found ourselves at Chick Fil A afterwards, because what’s an afternoon of shopping without picking up food? Exactly!!!

Friday I had another appointment and left work early. Once the appointment was over I surprised my bestie at her work to say hello, and I saw all my other old coworkers. Friday was also my dog’s second birthday. We celebrated by giving him a big bowl of birthday treats with whipped cream. He loved it!!! And what birthday isn’t complete without a present. We got Rollo a new toy (like he doesn’t have enough, haha!!).

Saturday was a day to just unwind and relax!

And now today my daughter is going back to college! I miss her already and she’s still at the house lol. But she will be home in two weeks for a quick Easter break, which will be nice. My son will be home too that weekend, woohoo!

I started Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister but haven’t had a chance to really sit down and get into this one. That is my plan for this week!

For a group challenge, I am listening to The Forest Grimm on Libby. It’s definitely a fantasy YA story, so I am trying to power through it with a faster audio speed. I made a huge dent into this one yesterday and should be done with it sometime tomorrow.

I am almost done with The Silent Watcher by Victor Methos on my Kindle.


I saw The Gone World come up on my Tiktok FYP… billed as Inception meets True Detective and since Inception is one of my favorite movies I wanted to read this book. I borrowed the large print edition from my library. And honestly, I may be borrowing MORE large print editions of books because the small print just isn’t doing it for me anymore.

I got my hands on an e-ARC of David Ellis’ newest book Keep Them Close. I am so stoked to read this one!

I am currently reading a sprayed edge hardcover copy of Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister. This one is absolutely holding my interest!!!!

I am listening to Kill Me If You Can by James Patterson and Marshall Karp.

On my Kindle I am reading The Silent Watcher by Victor Methos.

I finished Strange Houses by Uketsu last week. I still have to write up a review and post it on Storygraph, but I gave this one four stars!

The challenge I am participating in where I have to read the book I chose, The Forest Grimm, starts today. I will be getting to this one the second I am done with my current audiobook.

I am giving The Bone Queen another chance. When I picked it up earlier this year it wasn’t vibing with me so I set it down. Gonna try it again and see how it goes. I have a Netgalley ARC and am trying to get my ratio up.

St. Patrick’s Day Novella

When her car breaks down in the middle of an abandoned part of an unfamiliar town, Regan curses her luck. She stumbles into a cozy, welcoming pub, and is greeted by two gorgeous Irish brothers who take her in for the weekend. Iain is up-front and aggressive, with his red hair, stunning good looks, and sculpted body. Craig is rugged and strong, thoughtful and thorough… willing to make everything about her.

Maybe her luck isn’t so bad, after all.

Temptation stands around every corner, and she can’t decide which brother she wants more. Each interaction leaves her more conflicted, refusing to choose between them. But not everything is as it seems in this deserted corner of the world, and the longer Regan remains with the brothers, the more questions she has. Questions that only they can answer.

My laptop crapped the bed last week, which totally messed with my blogging. The laptop got fixed and I will be back to regularly blogging this week. And I definitely need to catch up with everyone!

I definitely have been on social media less, and reading more. The weather in New Jersey hit 70 degrees on Monday and Tuesday so I was out in the yard, soaking up the sunshine after work, reading a book. Then Wednesday the weather was cloudy out and probably around 60 degrees, and I gave myself some outside time to read. Thursday the weather dropped down to 35 degrees and SNOWED in the late afternoon! Yes, it was only a dusting on the grass but still…. I ALWAYS fall for false spring.

My daughter is home from college for spring break. She has no plans but to relax at home. She takes after her mom, haha!

I started Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister. A time traveling thriller story… sign me up!!!

I am reading The Silent Watcher by Victor Methos on my Kindle. I am almost halfway through the story and I am really liking the main characters. I want to see where this story goes, so I am hoping to really make a big dent in this book this week.


For a challenge I am doing in a Facebook group I had to choose a book off a specific list to start reading later this week. I borrowed the audiobook of The Forest Grimm by Kathryn Purdie from my library.

I got my hands on an e-ARC of David Ellis’ newest book Keep Them Close. I am so stoked to read this one!

National Pi Day!

Today is National Pi Day! 3.14…. get it?

The Hannah Swensen Mystery Series by Joanne Fluke is a cozy mystery series about Hannah Swensen, a baker who owns The Cookie Jar in the small town of Lake Eden, Minnesota.

When murders occur in town, Hannah uses her knowledge of the community to solve the mysteries—often alongside (or ahead of) local detective Mike Kingston and her friend Norman Rhodes.

The books mix small-town life, lighthearted detective work, romance, and baking, and each story includes dessert recipes. The series began with Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder and has grown to more than 30 books.

Q: What is your favorite type of pie?
A: Mine is apple pie, but it has to be warm and have vanilla ice cream on top!

Not a whole lot happened this week. I actually haven’t really been feeling like doing much of anything after I got in from work. I haven’t been on social media or bothering with me blog much this week either. I got quick housework done right after I got in the door, then threw on pajamas and mostly watched TV while laying in bed or lounging on the couch. I haven’t really felt like reading, which sucks.

I’m halfway through Strange Houses by Uketsu. It’s a different writing style, but I am intrigued and want to know what’s going on with all those houses. I am hoping to have this one finished in a few days.

I am listening an ALC of Judge Stone by Viola Davis and James Patterson.

I am reading The Silent Watcher by Victor Methos on my Kindle. I am not far in as I keep falling asleep before I can really get into the story.

I went back to a comfort TV show, and randomly started season 5 on Thursday night. Technically, I’ve seen season 1 through season 14 before… so no spoilers please lol. Figured I’d just watch the rest of the season and then get to the last season and see how it ends (pretty sure the internet spoiled it for me but still).

Her Last Breath by Taylor Adams

Title: Her Last Breath
Author: Taylor Adams
Format: audiobook
Length: 10 hours 8 minutes
Narrator: Sophie Amoss
Genre: Thriller
Rating: 4 stars
Publication Date: February 17, 2026

Her Last Breath by Taylor Adams is a gripping, high-stakes thriller that refuses to let you look away. Adams has a remarkable ability to drop readers straight into danger and then steadily tighten the screws with each chapter. The pacing is razor-sharp—every scene feels purposeful, every detail loaded with tension—and the story escalates in a way that makes it nearly impossible to stop reading. 

What truly elevates the novel is its emotional core. Beneath the suspense and shock lies a deeply human story about fear, resilience, and the instinct to survive. The protagonist is written with depth and vulnerability, making the stakes feel intensely personal. You’re not just watching events unfold—you’re experiencing them alongside the characters, sharing in their dread, hope, and determination. 

The author also does a great job at the atmosphere. The setting feels immersive and vividly cinematic, heightening the sense of claustrophobia and urgency. Quiet moments are just as powerful as the explosive ones, creating a rhythm that keeps readers on edge. And when the twists arrive, they’re both surprising and satisfying, grounded in the logic of the story.

The audiobook narration adds another layer of intensity, with a performance by Sophie Amoss that captures the urgency and emotional nuance of the story beautifully, making the suspense even more immersive. 

In the end, Her Last Breath delivers exactly what great thrillers promise: relentless tension, emotional investment, and a finale that lingers long after the final page. It’s a standout read for fans of smart, character-driven suspense.

I received a complimentary audiobook through William Morrow’s Scene of The Crime program. I was sent a widget through NetGalley.

What a week! The snow from the crazy storm like two weeks ago finally completely melted on Friday and I finally saw the grass. Then on Sunday afternoon we got hit with a ridiculous blizzard! After it was all said and done we probably got 20″ of snow on the ground. My husband finally came in the house from his last snowblowing escapade and I was making him some food to eat. We sat down at the kitchen table and all of a sudden we hear this loud bang and the house shook. Turns out our neighbors old ass tree snapped a huge limb and it hit the roof and slid down the side of the house into our yard, landing on our AC unit. Now my husband gets to deal with our insurance company, which is always unpleasant.

I took this photo the morning after it happened.

I’m putting February behind me and looking forward to my March TBR I semi- planned out.

In typical fashion, reading on my Kindle has been slow-going, so I am still reading Served Him Right. I am liking the story though so I hope to have it finished by next weekend.

I am listening to Taming Demons For Beginners by Annette Marie. I want to start the month off strong and I know I will enjoy this book!

For a reading challenge I am doing the prompt is read a book by a Japanese author. I found Strange Houses by Uketsu at my library. I am pretty much going into this book blind and hoping for the best.

My husband and I binge watched the whole season of A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms this week. The series is only six episodes (boooooo!) which felt so short. We definitely liked the show and the twists were typical Game of Thrones worthy. Highly recommend if you’re into Game of Thrones or House of The Dragon.

The Three Ws are: What are you currently reading? What did you recently finish reading? What do you think you’ll read next?

On my Kindle I am reading Served Him Right by Lisa Unger, a NetGalley ARC that publishes next month. I should have it complete by pub day, woohoo!

I was sent an audiobook ALC of A Place To Die For by A.M. Strong and Sonya Sargent thanks to Thriller Book Lovers: The Pulse. This book publishes next month so I decided to start listening to it today.

My five star review of You’ve Been Warned. The first one completed for my Personal Stack Challenge.

My review of Her Last Breath will be posted on the blog next week.

Two Kinds of Stranger is an ARC I have that is publishing in March. Might as well get to it sooner rather than later!

If I get stuck in a rut or feel a slump hitting I am gonna go to the next read in the Read-along I am doing with Taming Demons for Beginners. I’ll be way ahead, but it’ll keep me motivated to read.

For a prompt in HRCYED 2.0 I am pulling out an unread Amazon First Reads and reading The Silent Watcher. I have not read a bad Victor Methos book yet, and I am hoping it keeps me wanting to read on my Kindle.

Work has been a complete shit show this entire week! I’ve actively been looking and applying to jobs since before Thanksgiving… no luck yet.

Both of my children came home from college this weekend!!!! They haven’t been home since we dropped them off a month ago. This is the longest either one of them has been away… our schedules just didn’t work out to go pick them up. ANYWAY! We had a great weekend, literally zero plans but just spending time together (we ended up playing two board games after dinner last night), and they’ll be going back to their colleges later this afternoon.

We are supposed to be getting 12″ to 18″ of snow today. WHAT THE ACTUAL F***!!!! The snow from three weeks ago only melted on Wednesday, are we kidding right now!!!! Lets pray that it does not snow that much and the kids can get back to college safely, and my husband there and back safely.

Legit, February has been my WORST reading month in a long time. I DNFed books left and right (I would read a couple of pages and just put the book down not wanting to read it). I honestly can’t even give an exact number because I didn’t even mark down that I started &/or DNF the book on Storygraph or my reading spreadsheet. I also was so stoked to listen to Malice by John Gwynne, and about 30 minutes into the audiobook I turned it off and can’t get back in to it. It’s definitely ME and not the story. But now I have to put myself back on the waitlist with Libby for it again and that’s annoying since I waited all this time for it to begin with. UGH!

ANYWAY! What I actually AM reading. I started reading a book off my bookshelf, as part of my Personal Stack Challenge this year. You’ve Been Warned by James Patterson is “a dark, propulsive psychological thriller for readers who crave moody, big-city atmosphere, breathless pacing, and the intoxicating dread of chasing desire while disaster whispers just off-frame.” – Storygraph. It had that old school Patterson vibe, the quick chapters that just grip you and you wanna keep turning pages! THIS is what I need right now!!

I haven’t gotten too far into Served Him Right by Lisa Unger. The book comes out in March so I do have a little bit of time to get through it and have a review up before publication date. Gonna use this one for a HRCYED 2.0 prompt as well.

After a small snafu (it was on my end, ssshhhhh!) with my Scene of The Crime audiobook I received last week, I got the widget link to finally work and have been listening to Her Last Breath by Taylor Adams. This one is starting off really good!!!! The small space vibes is definitely creeping me out, in a good way.
