I've recently finished Lisa Jewell's, NONE OF THIS IS TRUE. Excellent. Highly recommend. Audio version if FAB, really FAB...can't say enough good about this one. She is an excellent writer, so succinct, so powerful, so visceral, emotive, all the so's...I bow to thee. I'm not worthy. LOL

Very good book.

I could not agree more—absolutely brilliant book. She’s a favorite of mine but this one was above and beyond.

You are my reading soul sister! LOL As YES, she is a favourite of mine as well...and I agree...this book blew it out of the water for me. Love her work. But this one was above and beyond. ;)

Italy sounds so lovely right now. I used to live in Florence for 8 years, and miss it often. Still dreaming of owning one day a villa in Tuscany. Just like Frances Mayes talks about in her lovely book Under the Tuscan Sun. ☀️🏡

Currently reading Cold Curses by Chloe Neill...last in the series.

The Ninjas Oath was really good! You almost feel like you're IN all of her fabulous locations!!

It's a vampire series set in Chicago. It's pretty good and I used to live in Chicago, so that's an added bonus.

About 30% through. Love it! Twisty, snarky, and mysterious!

I finished Iron Flame and what a ride!! I can see why everyone is raving about that one too. I'm not sure what to read next. I might pick up Lisa Jewell's NONE OF THIS IS TRUE.

Im so glad. I just want to read it again. Lisa’s book is probably the only one to follow that you’ll be satisfied with. It’s on par excellence!

Hello, I have been reading your Friday Reads for some time which I thoroughly enjoy and thought it high time I jumped in to say “hi”! I am just beginning my Fourth Wing journey and loving it. Also, on my Kindle I have just started Ariel’s, The Frozen River and loving it. Until next Friday. Helen (Great Reads & Tea Leaves from Downunder)

Hi Helen! I’m so glad you jumped in. It’s nice to meet you!

I’m glad you’re enjoying the juggernaut dragons. I miss them already. But Ariel’s book is also something very special. You’re going to be blown away, guaranteed.
