Coffee & Books: June 2020

on

Well, when I posted last month's Coffee & Books, I was pretty certain that the world would be in a better place by June's.  But it doesn't seem to be so...  I pray that this post finds you all safe and healthy and with cup of coffee and a TBR ready to be added to.

Kindred by Octavia E. Butler
Rating 5 stars!
The first sci-fi novel by a black woman.  It was also an eye-opening look at the antebellum South and an excellent read!

Lock Every Door by Riley Sager 
Rating: 4 stars
I liked the atmosphere in this novel - the setting and the creepy, look-over-your-shoulder, lock-every-door-ness!  
Need a book? This was a fun thriller.  Riley Sager's The Last Time I Lied is amazing also.

    I have Jane Austen Society checked out on audiobook and ready to start once I finish one of my current four books! I just added Kindred to my TBR. I had heard about it awhile ago from WSIRN podcast, but your review convinced me to read it soon!

    Here are my recent reads, if interested: https://elle-alice.blogspot.com/2020/05/may-book-reviews.html
