One Story at a Time Reading Project

I'm embarking on an exciting reading project and I invite everyone to join me on this literary journey 😊. While I long to dedicate all my time to reading, my work schedule and my slower reading pace make it challenging.

When an eleven-year-old boy's lifeless body is discovered, all evidence points to Terry Maitland, a well respected member of the community.

Mid-Year Reading Highlights ❁

June has been an incredible month of reading for me. I had the pleasure of devouring eight books, with four of them earning a solid four-star rating, and one capturing a perfect five stars. This month, I felt a renewed sense of motivation to immerse myself in both physical and audio books, realizing that we're already halfway through the year and eager to make progress on my reading goals. I'm particularly thrilled with my book choices, as I intentionally sought out mysteries infused with paranormal elements like The House Across the Lake , The Vanishing and A House with Good Bones . Additionally, I indulged in the immensely popular novel of the moment, Wrong Place Wrong Time, which captivated me with its unique plot and intriguing timeline. If your curiosity is piqued check out below for all the books I've read this June. Happy reading 😊. ❁ The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager ✰✰✰✰ Casey Fletcher seeks solace in her family's lakeside retreat while dealing
