@bluffcitybookmama Kristan Higgins is my fave go-to author for feel good, second chance romances that will make you laugh, snot cry, and repeat. I also appreciate that the characters are in their 30s/40s.
She can do no wrong in my book. I’ve read these so far and have loved every single one!
Which book of hers should I read next??

Obscure books I've loved for years.
These have all been important to me for different reasons, and I keep coming back to them. They may not be well known today, but they have a special place in my heart.
*Unicorn Mountain (1988) by Michael Bishop, this 1990 edition published by Grafton Books. Gritty fantasy about aids, families, and the most realistic unicorns you'll ever read. (I posted about this recently)
*The Perilous Gard (1974) by Elizabeth Marie Pope. This Magic Quest edition published in 1984 by Tempo a division of Berkley Publishing. Fantasy and romance in the time of Queen Mary with a strong, smart heroine.
*Wither (1999) by J G Passarella, published by Pocket Books, a division of Simon and Schuster. Modern and ancient witchcraft clash in a college town, with suspense and scares!
*Steel Rose (1997) by Kara Dalley, published by Roc, an imprint of Dutton Signet, under Penguin Putnam. A performance artist unwittingly opens the door to magic creatures, drawing her into a fae battle.
*A Deeper Hunger (1994) by Sabine Kells, published by Leisure Books, under Dorchester Publishing. A love story set in Maui, with reincarnation, vampires, and some heartbreaking elements. So much better than the cover would make you think.
*The White Pipes (1985) by Nancy Kress, this edition published by Berkely Books. A fantasy with magnificent world building, and a single mother with a special gift drawn into high stakes royal politics against her will.

How To Sell A Haunted House by Grady Hendrix
▪️What it’s about:
Louise Joyner is heartbroken to learn that her parents passed away in a terrible car accident. She must travel from San Francisco back to her hometown in South Carolina for the funeral and deal with her parent’s estate with her estranged brother Mark. Upon entry into her childhood home, something feels wrong. Not only is the attic nailed shit shut and there are newspapers taped over the windows but the eyes of her mother’s doll and puppet collection seem to follow her everywhere she goes.
▪️My thoughts:
The King of macabre is back!
As a longtime Grady Hendrix reader, I was ecstatic to read How To Sell A Haunted House! Prior to reading this one, I expected more of a traditional haunted house story. But I should have known better since it was written by Grady Hendrix. I don’t want to give anything away but I will say that this book is nothing like I’ve ever read before! This story features a puppet named Pupkin who makes Annabelle look like an angel, taxidermy squirrels who attack, and so many more ghastly things!
How To Sell A Haunted House had me biting my nails, sitting on the edge of my seat, laughing until I was crying, and anxiously checking over my shoulder. But How To Sell A Haunted House is not just a horror story with dark comedy, it’s a story about dysfunctional families and the secrets we carry to protect each other. It’s also a story about how the memories we retain may be subjective and not always accurate.
Along with all of Grady’s prior works, I highly recommend How To Sell A Haunted house! Readers who have enjoyed any of his prior works will especially enjoy this one!
You can read my full review on Goodreads(link in bio).
How To Sell A Haunted House will be available on January 17, 2023. A massive thanks to Berkley Publishing and Netgalley for the advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review!

Fire Line is the third and final book in the Griffith Brothers series by Maggie Gates, and I adored it. I always love a black cat heroine, and Lennon might be one of my favorites. She relies on no one, knows how to fight, and puts ghost peppers in CJ’s food when he messes with her. She’s fearless, brash, and unapologetically herself. And don’t even get me started on CJ. I love a broody cowboy, and he’s so mad at the world that he can barely function. His sole purpose in life is to make Lennon’s life miserable, but when he realizes how bad he messed up, the man grovels and apologizes, and proves over and over that he just wants to protect Lennon, make her happy, and get her to forgive him and then fall in love with him. I couldn’t get enough of CJ and Lennon, and I absolutely devoured this one!
TROPES:
he’s a broody cowboy
she’s a black cat, tattooed chef
one night stand to enemies to lovers
workplace feud
forced proximity
romantic suspense
found family
dual POV
Thank you to Berkley Romance, Berkley Publishing, Penguin Random House, and NetGalley for the ARC.
