Reminder/ Caveat/ Disclaimer: This is my (hopefully) monthly list of books I’ve read and enjoyed. These are not reviews, I do not include books I didn’t enjoy because life is too short to speak badly of books!
Welcome to the Best Books to Read Now Book Club! My (hopefully) monthly blog featuring my reading list, my TBR pile and the books I think you and your best friends should be reading.
If you’re not sure whether you’ll agree with my recommendations, check out my blog post on My Reader Wheels and my podcast, Women With Books . Those should help you decide if you’re going to be into my recommendations.
The best book club recommendations for you and your friends!
So… I know what you’re thinking.
That’s an … interesting… selection of books you got there, Lindsay.
And to that I’ll say YES! YOU ARE CORRECT!
This is a VERY eclectic selection but oh, soo good (and something for everyone!) Not convinced? Read on….
Burn For Me - Ilona Andrews
Amazon || Apple Books
Long time readers will surely detect something here…. Yes. This is a book that I’ve long had and raved about. I have re-read it so many times. So why is it on the list now? Well, I had to sit a few days in a hospital room and I reached for a “comfort read.” This was it. Still love it. Still recommend it. The Baylors still made me laugh when I needed it and Nevada and Mad Rogan still swept me away.
Bringing Down the Duke - Evie Dunmore
Amazon || Apple Books
If you’re in the romance community or book review community, you’ll know that this debut historical romance has been the subject of a lot of talk. Mainly because of that cover that is nothing like any other mainstream historical romance cover (at least, at the time of its release). When I finally got a copy of this at the library I was very curious about the insides and I can tell you I thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Dunmore’s debut and I’m eagerly looking forward to her next release!
Things You Save in a Fire - Katherine Center
Amazon || Apple Books
Another book I heard a lot about and finally got at the library (because I’m on a book no-buy, remember?). Where has Katherine Center been all my life? This book was a perfect balm on a rainy, dreary winter’s day. Full of heart, humor, a touch of mystery, a smidge of family drama, a heartwarming romance. So good!
Realm of Ash - Tasha Suri
Amazon || Apple Books
I really really loved Tasha Suri’s first book last year and I was very excited to get this one… at the library, (Seeing a theme here?) I just love Ms. Suri’s worldbuilding and writing and I really liked her subtle exploration of female power in a traditional society. A fantasy win for me!
Another fantasy win… heh heh…
All in all, February was a very successful month of reading!
