Do you ever get sent a book for review consideration & like it so darn much, you gotta go back and read the first one in the series? . . That is what happened when @stmartinspress sent me The Perfect Alibi which is book 2 in the Robin Lockwood series- a series I highly encourage you to check out! . . From my review: “This mystery? Thumbs up in a major way. It had enough going on to keep me flipping pages! Plus, I LOVE those short chapters- perfect for tension mounting scenes!” . . Have you read this series? . . #genxbookstagrammers #travelingwithtreads #travelingwithbookreviews #msbookstagrammers #mississippibookstagrammers #thethirdvictim #phillipmargolin

#sponsored { @harlequinbooks @harlequinpublicityteam #partner} I love Christmas/ holiday theme books. They make me feel hopeful & happy & give me allllll the Hallmark feels. . . A Wedding in December by @sarahmorganwrites is Hallmark holiday movie in literary form. I loved this story!! . . From my review: “Maggie and Nick. While all the characters experience growth and change- I think I loved where Sarah took their story the most.” . . Have you put this on your holiday reads list? . . #genxbookstagrammers #msbookstagrammers #mississippibookstagrammers #aweddingindecember #sarahmorgan #travelingwithtreads #travelingwithtbookreviews

#sponsored { @berkleypub #partner } Do you have a fave series that after you read the latest book you just want to hop a plane ✈️ or train 🚞 & go visit because the author’s description is SO good? . . That is what happens to me every time I read the latest New Orleans Scrapbooking Mystery series by Laura Childs. I want to explore New Orleans with Carmela & Ava. Do a scrapbook project. Solve a crime! And drink & eat all sorts of good stuff! . . From my review: “Carmela and Ava. I don’t want them to ever change. They are best friend goals.” . . Thanks 🙏 @berkleypub for the free review copy! . . #genxbookstagrammers #travelingwithtbookreviews #travelingwithtreads #mumbogumbomurder #laurachilds #msbookstagrammers #mississippibookstagrammers #cozymystery

So there I was in Sam’s Club, minding my own business, just casually strolling by the book section….. and somehow came home with a copy of An Unwanted Guest by @sharilapena. @vikingbooks 🤣🤣🤣 . . Can I say how much I LOVED this book? The setting? The tension? The characters? Give me more, more, more… and that ending. 👏👏👏 . . From my review: “Bottom line: Shari, I think you are on the fast track to becoming an auto-buy author for me!” . . What is your fave Shari Lapena book? . . #genxbookstagrammers #anunwantedguestbook #anunwantedguest #msbookstagrammers #mississippibookstagrammers #travelingwithtreads #travelingwithtbookreviews
