A real mixed bag this month!
1. Finlay Donovan Digs Her Own Grave by Elle Cosimano - This is the 5th book in this series and it is definitely my favorite one so far. I wasn't the biggest fan of the previous book, so I was thrilled this one did not disappoint! It was a perfectly silly time. 10/10.
2. A Sea of Unspoken Things by Adrienne Young - I read another Adrienne Young book in January that I loved, so I was very eager to pick this up. This one is even more character driven than the first, but it still kept me engaged the whole time. The main character suspects foul play in her brother's death, and I loved the mystery part. I really love Young's writing, and I want to read more from her!
3. Die with Zero: Getting All You Can From Your Money and Life by Bill Perkins - This was our book club pick this month and everyone had opinions which made the discussion really fun! The book was helpful in making me feel like I had a lot of options with my money, but spending has never been my problem. I still think I'll lean on the saving side. Still, it was definitely thought provoking!
4. Shark Heart: A Love Story by Emily Habeck - This is next month's book club pick and I picked it. I don't even know what to say about this book. This was one of the most bizarre reading experiences I've ever had, which is to be expected when the synopsis is a man slowly turning into a great white shark. I was not expecting this amount of body horror (I'm not sure that's the right term but I'm not sure what else to call it), and I felt like the momentum really died about halfway through. And yet, there is one scene that left me in heaving sobs, crying into my pillow. A real rollercoaster of emotions, and I will be very selective about who I recommend it to. Can't wait for book club, and scared that all of my friends will hate me for picking it.
