  • How to Seal Your Own Fate by Kristen Perrin

    My Rating: ★★★½☆ (3.5/5) Sequels can be tricky, and How to Seal Your Own Fate didn’t quite hit me the same way as the first book — but it still kept me reading. I was definitely invested. The dual timeline storytelling returned (which I loved again), and once more I found myself more drawn to…

  • How to Solve Your Own Murder by Kristen Perrin

    My Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5) If you’re into twisty mysteries with strong characters and clever storytelling, How to Solve Your Own Murder is one to add to your TBR.

  • The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman

    Genre: Cozy Mystery / WhodunnitMy Rating: ★★★★★ (but like, a cozy five stars) Let’s get one thing out of the way: yes, it starts a little slow. You’re meeting a whole crew of characters — retirees with wildly different personalities — and at first, it feels a bit like walking into a community center book…
