    I'm not going to lie guys - this book gave me nightmares. This usually never happens when I read books, no matter how creepy they get. Regardless of that fact - this book was fantastic! I had somewhat of an idea of what the outcome was going to be, but I was not sure until the last few chapters. There was so much packed into this book, especially with the several points of view, but it worked great! I was not left wondering about any details or analyzing things that didn't match up as I do with the majority of mystery books. It was hard for me to keep track of who was who and what was what at the beginning; but you get immersed in it quickly and it becomes easier. I'm going to be recommending this book to all of my suspense-mystery book lovers!

Let's Talk About Les

     Hey, bookworms! My name is Celeste and I am just a 20-something girl trying to figure her life out. I live in Eastern Oregon with my boyfriend, our cattle dog, Remi, and our cat, Hank. I'm a small-town girl but will escape to the city every once in a while. Nothing feels better than returning to the slow pace and fresh air when I get back. In my free time, I like to read (obviously), tend to my plants (way too many), and take photos in nature (not nearly enough).       I was a big reader when I was a kid, but as you all know life gets crazy. Being required to read a lot of books in middle and high school killed the spark I had for books. After high school life got even busier somehow. I'd maybe read a book a year. Last year on a family vacation I actually had this thing called free time. I picked up the book I'd been reading for four months and finished it. Even after that, it was impossible for me to try and make reading a priority. Then my grandma got put in comfort

Choice Awards - Les's Version

Well if there was one thing (almost) all of the Goodreads users agreed on this year it was that the Goodreads Choice Awards this year SUCKED. I had only read one book that was a nominee. I read a lot of new releases this year and was disappointed not more made the nominee list. Many people had a similar feeling and even more were disappointed that several well-loved categories were eliminated from the docket. This was the first year I would be able to participate in the Goodreads Choice Awards and I had been looking forward to it all year and it really fell flat. So instead I am doing my own, I am naming my favorite book from each genre I read this year and telling you why below. They will not be all new releases because I think all books deserve love, not just the new ones!  Best of Thriller  Verity - Colleen Hoover Released - 2018 Pages - ~ 336  stars ⭐ - 5 I know I've talked a lot of shit about Colleen Hoover this year, but Verity really is different than her other books.

  Title  - Sugar & Sliced - Maple Lane Series #.5 Author  - C.A. Phipps __________________________________________________________________________ spice 🌶 - 0 scare 😱 - 1.25 plot 📖 - 4 characters  🧍- 4 stars ⭐ - 4   “It’s no one’s business but yours, sweetheart. The people who care about you know you’ve been unhappy, and they only want what’s best for you in the future, so pay the busybodies and troublemakers no mind.” Cozy mysteries - very interesting concept. On one page you have a girl talking to her cat about a baking competition, the next you are hearing about petechial hemorrhaging. I'm on the fence about whether I jive with this sub-genre. The book was a great change of pace from a lot of gorey and thrilling books nowadays but still has the mystery aspect that keeps you going. My issue is that the plotlines and character traits seemed very juvenile at times. I think this is more of a critique of the genre as a whole and not the author. Because you don't have the
