 Now that we are all back from Spring Break, I've been getting asked what I am reading next.
Here are the titles that are next up on my bookshelf. I can't wait to get started on these gems! Come and Get It, by @kileyreid Be Ready when the Luck Happens, by @inagarten The Story She Left Behind, by @pattichenry Who is Government?, by #authormichaellewis Dear Writer, by @maggiesmithpoet  This week is Spring Break for most schools in the Atlanta area, and a lot of people have been asking me for some reading suggestions. These are a few of my most recent favorites. Enjoy!
The Stolen Queen, by @fionadavisauthor The Paris Diversion, by @chris.pavone The Soulmate, by @sallyhepworth The Wedding People, by @alison.espach Jane and Dan at the End of the World, by @writercolleenoakley  When Goodreads asked me to set my reading goal for 2024, I said 24 books. My logic was this: that’s two books per month, and I thought that would be an aggressive number since I have a busy job, I have a lot of activities in the community, and I'm a soccer mom. So...imagine my surprise when I got to the end of the year and saw that I had actually read 35 books in 2024! Now this total also includes some that are work-related, but still! Since I am often asked for book recommendations, I thought I’d compile a list of some of my favorites from 2024 for you. I’ve loosely grouped them by genre. I hope you enjoy them too, and that your nightstand reading pile is soon Fully Booked! Spy/Thriller: The Expats, by Chris Pavone @chris.pavone A Death in Cornwall, by Daniel Silva @danielsilvabooks The Moroccan Girl, by Charles Cumming @charlescummingbooks Mystery: The Sicilian Inheritance, by Jo Piazza @jopiazzaauthor The Midnight Feast, by Lucy Foley @lucyfoleyauthor Look in the Mirror, by Catherine Steadman @catsteadman Historical Fiction: The Women, by Kristin Hannah @kristinhannahauthor Long Island, by Colm Toibin Fiction: Tomorrow, Tomorrow & Tomorrow, by Gabrielle Zevin @gabriellezevin By Any Other Name, by Jodi Picoult @jodipicoult Here One Moment, by Liane Moriarty @lainemoriarty_official Expiration Dates, by Rebecca Serle @rebecca_serle Lies & Weddings, by Kevin Kwan @kevinkwanbooks The Sun Sets in Singapore, by Kehinde Fadipe @kehinde_demilola_fadipe The Summer Pact, by Emily Giffin @emilygiffinauthor Women and Children First, by Alina Grabowski @alinagrabowski_ Real Americans, by Rachel Khong @rrrrrrrachelkhong The Paris Novel, by Ruth Reichl @ruth.reichl The Secret Book of Flora Lee, by Patti Callahan Henry @pattichenry Summers at the Saint, by Mark Kay Andrews @marykayandrews Pineapple Street, by Jenny Jackson @jennyjacksonpineapple Husbands & Lovers, by Beatriz Williams @authorbeatriz Under the Southern Sky, by Kristy Woodson Harvey @kristywharvey Business: The Happy Human, by Gopi Kallayil @gopikallayil Scarcity: Why Having Too Little Means So Much, by Sendhil Mullainathan Revenge of the Tipping Point, by Malcolm Gladwell @malcolmgladwell Atomic Habits, by James Clear @jamesclear
 It is about to be Spring Break for schools here in the South, and some schools have already had their Spring Breaks! I've had friends reaching out for beach read suggestions or because they need something new to read on their waterproof kindle. Here is what I've been reading so far this year. and I have enjoyed every one of them. Please don't hesitate to ask if you're looking for reading suggestions - I am happy to help. I hope your Kindle is soon "Fully Booked"! Good Company by @cynthiadsweeney Lessons in Chemistry by @bonnie_garmus_author The Mitford Affair by @authormariebenedict Nora Goes off Script by @annabelmonaghan and Non Obvious Megatrends by @rohitbb
 Many friends have been asking me for recommendations for a good mystery to snuggle up with by a cozy fire, or to take on vacation over Thanksgiving. Here are a few of my recent favorites.
Each of these was SO good - I could.not.put.them.down! Enjoy and let me know what you think! The Club, by @ellerylloyd_author The Last Thing He Told Me, by @lauradaveauthor The Paris Apartment, by @lucyfoleyauthor The Hike, by @susijholliday Two Nights in Lisbon, @chris.pavone Something in the Water, by @catsteadman     I have been reading a lot this year. Some of it is pure entertainment, some of it is research for the historical novel I am working on, and some of it is just because there are so many good books piling up on my nightstand. Nothing makes me happier than curling up with a good book, a cup of tea, and a snuggly kitty. Since many of my friends know how much I like to read, I am often asked for recommendations, especially during the Summer or for Fall road trips. So I thought I'd share a list of some of my favorites so far this year. As seen in the photo(s) above, and in no particular order (other than the order in which I read them), here is my list so far for 2022. Those with an asterisk are mysteries for my mystery lovers. And if you are looking for a good mystery, I would also add to that list two books I ready last year that were awesome! They are: The Last Thing He Told Me, by Laura Dave, and Something in the Water by Catherine Steadman.
