December BOTM Options and Choices

Posted on November 29, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Have you guys heard about BOTM (Book of the Month)? I’ve been signed up for years, but the recent changes they have made have resulted in me getting pretty hooked, to say the least. For those that don’t know: BOTM is a subscription service that offers five (see below) selections each month. Readers get to choose the book they want – plus two extras. There are a bunch of add-ons for readers to choose from as well. Continue reading →

Review: Girl, Forgotten by Karin Slaughter

Posted on November 23, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Wow! Two BOTM sequels in one month? I’m feeling pretty lucky right now! Girl, Forgotten is the sequel to the smash hit novel (and adaptation), Pieces of Her. Once again, I haven’t seen the adaptation so that I won’t be making any comparisons on that front. Continue reading →

I immediately fell in love with Peng Shepherd’s book, as it is SO different from what I usually read. Best of all, it blends mystery with fantasy, providing the best of both worlds.

Review: The Kiss Curse by Erin Sterling

Posted on November 16, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

The witchy romantic subset has quickly become one of my favorites, allowing for a slightly lighter magical tale than my usual choice. The Ex Hex was released last year, and now it is finally time for the sequel – The Kiss Curse. Continue reading →

Review: The Book of Cold Cases by Simone St. James

Posted on November 16, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Yes! I fell in love with Simone St. James’ writing two years ago when The Sun Down Motel was released, and I have been counting down the days to a new release ever since (yes, I do plan on going through her backlog at some point). The Book of Cold Cases is every bit the novel I’ve been waiting for, as it blends mystery and fantasy into one delightful mix.

Review: A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross

Posted on November 10, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

A River Enchanted was one of my three choices for February’s BOTM. I just finished reading another novel by Rebecca Ross (Dreams Lie Beneath), and since I loved it, I was more than willing to give this new fantasy book a try. Continue reading →

Review: The Family Game by Catherine Steadman

Posted on November 9, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

The Family Game was one of my recent BOTM choices, and I jumped on it because, well, I’m a sucker for thriller novels. Written by Catherine Steadman, this novel promises an eccentric family, traditions, and twisted games. What more could you ask for? Continue reading →

Review: The Christie Affair by Nina de Gramont

Posted on November 3, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

The Christie Affair was one of my choices for February’s BOTM. I’ll admit that I took a bit of a risk here since I’m actively trying to read more historical fiction novels these days (BOTM has been making that easier on me). While this novel is based on a real person (Agatha Christie), it is a work of fiction. Meaning that Nina de Gramont does not promise that this novel is true. Continue reading →
