A long overdue catch-up post! Since I haven’t posted in a while, here’s everything I’ve read of late:

A Double Life by Charlotte Philby 🍷 when I’m in a reading slump, I check out the new arrivals (online) at Daunt Books. A fast-paced mystery (of sorts) set in London was exactly what I was looking for. A fun, late-night read to indulge in alongside a liberal pour of wine.

The Guest List by Lucy Foley 🔪 I’m fairly certain I read this entirely in one Saturday night. Exciting and atmospheric, with a robust cast of characters.

Beach Read by Emily Henry 🌊 I’ll be honest, I did not expect a book entitled Beach Read to be set by a lake. This may be my own geographic bias, as a California native, taking root here. Despite the fact that I couldn’t picture the actual beach described, I found this as fluffy and soothing, with the same delightfully predictable plot elements, as any good romance.

People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry 👙 I read (or listened to) this book prior to Beach Read, and I think I prefer it out of the two. It employs one of my personal favorite genre tropes, and since I was listening to it on long, very hot walks in July, I found the descriptions of desert heat very apropos. Emily Henry is very of-the-moment right now, and I’m here for it.

I’m currently juggling about 4 different titles simultaneously, as usual, but since tomorrow is October 1st, I may just toss them all aside in favor of some spooky season reads. Here for your recommendations!
