Getting this post up a bit late but that #momlife is no joke.
Here we go!
Sweet Little Lies by Caz Frear
Saw this recommendation for this book by someone I follow on Instagram who writes awesome book reviews. Great mystery, great plot, and interesting characters.
The Masterpiece by Fiona Davis
Meh… A bit disappointing truth be told. I loved her previous book The Address and had such high hopes for this one but I just could not get into it.
A Forgotten Place by Charles Todd
Charles Todd has two series that they write: one featuring a Scotland Yard detective named Ian Rutledge, the other series features a WW1 nurse named Bess Crawford. This book features the latter. This book was not terribly good and a bit convoluted which disappointed me to no end because I love this author to pieces. The series that they write featuring the Scotland Yard detective is sooooooooo much better.
Searching For Sunday by Rachel Held Evans
I came across this author online and decided to give this book a whirl. I know it is not everyone’s cup of tea, but I found this book quite good. Her disillusionment with the church after growing up in it and then finding her way back, is definitely worth a read.
That’s it for now. I’ve read more books than these 4 in the past month but a lot of books were “meh”, not really worth mentioning. Have you guys read any good books lately? 🙂
Well, you had me a great mystery so Sweet Little Lies goes on the TBR. I still need to read Charles Todd because I’m sure I’ll love him too. Bummed about The Masterpiece since I loved The Dollhouse and really liked The Address. Also, I see all those mugs of coffee – is it pumpkin flavored coffee your drinking? LOL!
I really think you’ll like Sweet Little Lies 🙂
And um, yes, it was totally pumpkin flavored coffee that I was drinking!!! 😀
I love how you are committed to your genres.
I’ve heard of Rachel Held Evans a lot for some reason.
I love me some mysteries!!
I really want to read Sweet Little Lies, so I’m glad you enjoyed that. Thanks for your mini reviews. 🙂

Sweet Little Lies was so good! 🙂
I’m going to add Sweet Little Lies to my to read list. I love finding books on Instagram.
It was a great read! And yes, Instagram is my go-to for finding books 🙂
I’m reading Ken Follett’s World Without End now – without having read Pillars of the Earth. I’ll read it if I end up liking this one – which I think will be the case. This is not the type of book I usually read. Good to change things up I guess 🙂
Definitely good to change things up when reading. I think we learn more about the world that way 🙂
Thanks for the recommendation of Sweet Little Lies. It sounds like something I’d enjoy!
It was a really great read 😀
