Book Review 📖 Lonesome Dove (#188) 4⭐️/ I really liked it! Swipe for @goodreads synopsis 🤠 I did it. I finished this 858 page American classic that takes readers on a cattle drive from Texas to Montana. I think it may have taken me as long to read it as it took these cowboys to cross the country on horseback. 🤠 Thank you to @simonbooks for my #gifted copy of the 40th anniversary edition of the paperback, which came out last year. It has a new forward by Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone, Landman) where he talks about how the book inspired him. 🤠 It feels a bit silly to review a book that is beloved by so many, has been adapted time and time again, and became a TikTok sensation all these years after it was first published. Alas, many of you have asked so here are my quick thoughts. 🤠 I enjo

𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐲 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 by Sarah Blakley-Cartwright. Thanks to @simonbooks #SimonBooksBuddy for the gifted arc ⭐️⭐️⭐️ When sixteen year old Geraldine’s mother leaves to follow a lover to Australia, Getty is passed along to three different women, all of who show her different ways of coming of age. If you’re into quieter and slower coming of age stories, give this one a try. The author is definitely talented and it had beautiful prose, but it was a little too quiet for my personal tastes. There were moments that I loved and stuck with it, but not throughout the entire story. The characters are very vivid and well developed, even though the adults are immature or dysfunctional. “𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘢 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 - 𝘭

The Ballad of the Fugitive William Parker: A True Tale of Love, Murder, Treason, and Ordinary Folks who Saved America by Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz @simonandschuster In 1851 at a Quaker farming community turned Underground Railroad stronghold, a Maryland enslaver went in pursuit of four men who’d fled his plantation. He was killed & 27 men from the village were put on trial. Not for his murder, but for treason—for waging war against the US at a time when it was a crime to obstruct an enslaver looking to reclaim his “property.” Weirdos Welcome: A Novel by Cynthia Baseman River Grove Books This is a raw, funny, & fiercely compassionate neurodivergent love story about owning you

On the other hand, I'm excited that this is my first of her books because that means I have her whole backlist ahead of me to enjoy. ❤️ This book is exactly the type of historical fiction that I'm drawn to.

What I’m Reading Wednesday 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗲 𝗜𝘀 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝘁 | 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆-𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝘘𝘶𝘦𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘦 #2 Gallery Books | 8-Sept-26 Thank you, #Partner @gallerybooks, for the #gifted copy of this book, and @simonandschuster for the gifted audiobook. #GalleryBooksPartner QUEENIE came out the year before I jumped on the Bookstagram bandwagon, and it’s been a book I’ve wanted to read ever since.

Before You Were Anne by Emiko Jean Thank you @SimonBooks #SimonBooksBuddy for the free book! When suburban mom Anne Walker is murdered and her teenage daughter Naomi vanishes, pregnant Detective Chelsey Calhoun takes the case. The catch? Anne Walker didn’t exist—she was born Rika Takahashi, fleeing a dark past in Tokyo’s criminal underworld. To save Naomi, Chelsey has to piece together Rika’s reinvented lives while confronting secrets about her own origins - I was so hooked by the way Emiko Jean weaves the dual timelines together. Cutting back and forth between high-stakes Tokyo in the past and the race against the clock in the Pacific Northwest kept me turning pages. It hits that sweet spot of fast-paced procedural mystery and deep, emotional character work about motherhood and identity (
