Audio Review: The Ferryman by Justin Cronin

August 4, 2023 by Jen 2 Comments

The Ferryman by Justin Cronin

The Ferryman by Justin CroninDystopian Science FictionRandom House AudioMay 2, 2023 Review by Jen A friend recommended The Ferryman by Justin Cronin and while SciFi isn’t my normal go to read, I was intrigued.

Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins ReidSports FictionRandom House AudioAugust 30, 2022 Review by Jen I LOVED Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid!! I listened to this one and was absolutely addicted from beginning to end.

And, could the timing be any better with Serena on her farewell tour and the US Continue Reading

October 19, 2015 by Mandi 4 Comments

Everything I Left Unsaid by Molly O'Keefe (#1) Released: October 13, 2015 Erotic Contemporary Random House Reviewed by Mandi Back in May when I went to Dallas for the RT Convention, I heard Molly O'Keefe speak about her upcoming book called Everything I Left Unsaid.
