Euphoria: A book review
Hey there, Reader Friend! I just finished Euphoria by Lily King. This one is copyright 2014, but like all good historical fiction, it's timeless. The novel is set in 1930s New Guinea and follows three anthropologists searching for meaning, truth, and an understanding of humanity, only to find themselves tangled deeply inside its web. King's world building is incredible. It carries Heart of Darkness and Jungle Cruise vibes. I listened to the audiobook first, then immediately bought the paperback. It was that kind of book. I've already started highlighting and underlining. If you love historical fiction and Kirkus Prize Winners, I can’t recommend Euphoria enough. Enjoy! Featured Promo
Happy Reading!

Hey there, Reader Friend! I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that my novella goes to the editor in less than two weeks. The bad news is that I don't know the title. I thought I did... but? The story is this: When a small-town plant whisperer breaks the greenhouse and is told she owes thousands or loses her shot at a fresh start in Colorado, she makes one reckless decision in a wealthy neighborhood that tangles her with a police officer, a relentless dog, and a man in...
Hey there, Reader Friend! February is Black History Month, and as a reader, it seems like the right time to reflect on the voices we’re amplifying on our shelves. I’m a white woman book lover and my reading life is richer when it includes perspectives beyond my own. Diverse authors expand my understanding of the world. This month, I’m highlighting a few powerful novels by Black authors that moved me. Now, we already discussed The Catch by Yrsa Dailey-Ward. Just please go buy the hardcover....
