A Knock at Midnight by Brittany K. Barnett (September 8, 2020)
Powerful, eye-opening, and so much I wasn’t aware of. You can hear my more detailed thoughts on an upcoming bonus podcast episode for patrons (sign up here).

This Close to Okay by Leesa Cross-Smith (February 2, 2021)
I’m about 40% through this novel about two people who meet under precarious circumstances (my December Book of the Month pick) and I’m not sure what I think of it yet. It’s definitely different than I expected…sweeter? Maybe too sweet?

How was your reading week?

I’ve got A Knock at Midnight in my Kindle–it was a Kindle daily deal last week! Believe it or not, my library doesn’t have it in any format. They didn’t have Shuggie Bain either, which was shocking considering all the accolades it received. I just finished that as well. Sad but really powerful. And totally immersive.
Interesting assortment of books. I’ve been seeing these books around a lot lately. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
I’ll look for your best books post. I haven’t even thought about mine yet. A Knock At Midnight looks like my kind of book. Have a great week!
I am eyeing The Push and A Knock at Midnight.
Enjoy your week, and here are my WEEKLY UPDATES
You have me really curious about This Close to Okay. It was my BOTM, too, but I haven’t picked it up yet. I’ll wait for your final thoughts.
I haven’t read any of these but I hope you enjoy them! I have a new book blog: The Fantasy Princess if you would like to check it out. 🙂
I am currently reading Circe. It is fiction revolving around Greek Mythology. Not something I would normally be into. I can’t put it down!! Story telling at its finest! I’d be curious what you think of it.
