A Bit Of My Week In Reading
For Your Own Good by Samantha Downing
Holy revenge, Batman! This is a delicious page-turner with so many layers of revenge, you won’t soon forget. I absolutely loved watching how this unfolded starting with a jerk teacher at a prep school who thinks it’s his job to punish others into being better… I’m super excited about this one so mark your calendars for July 20th.
I just got the audiobook for Femi Kayode’s Lightseekers, which gives the investigator role to a psychologist in Nigeria looking into a crime that involved the killing of three students by a mob.
And I am suuuuuper excited for this upcoming cozy mystery: Mango, Mambo, and Murder (A Caribbean Kitchen Mystery #1) by Raquel V. Reyes. The sleuth is the star of a Cuban-American cooking show, so I’m drooling already.
