The Three Ws are:
- What are you currently reading?
- What did you recently finish reading?
- What do you think you’ll read next?

I’m currently working my way through Hairpin Bridge. It’s a compelling plot but the tone and style are so mellow that I’m having trouble keeping my focus. I’ll finish it today, so we’ll see how that goes. I’m hoping the tone will change to one of more urgency to wake me up 🙂
Hairpin Bridge by Taylor Adams
- Genre: Psychological Thriller
- Print Length: 316 pgs
- Publisher: William Morrow
- Publication Date: June 15, 2021


Reading When Life Gives You Lululemons was a spur of the moment decision. I’d read so many thrillers back to back that I was in desperate need of a genre pallet cleanser. And boy, did I pick well. I read the Devil Wears Prada trilogy many moons ago plus watched the movie, so I was excited to read this spin-off novel. I’ll not speak ill of anyone, generally or specifically, but I could totally relate to Devil Wears Prada in a less exaggerated form – just saying.
I loved this book. It was so fun. Emily is her best snarky self and it never fails to crack me up. Plus Miranda makes a few appearances and there was even a phone call between Emily and Andie (or Andrea, as Miranda calls her). It was just what I needed before heading back into another thriller.

This is a Rachel’s Random Resources blog tour read. Wiseman is coming out with the third book (I think) in this series very soon, but since I hadn’t read the first two, I just signed up for the first. I’ve read another book by her and really enjoyed it, so I am very hopeful that I will like this fantasy novel. And, it’s about time for another fantasy read. I feel likes it has been awhile.

I rarely read non-arcs anymore. Lululemons was a rare exception and one that I’m happy about. I’m trying to find a better balance of ARC vs. published reading. Your reads sound very good!

Ooh, I’m adding The Bookminder right now. That book sounds excellent. Hope your psychological thriller picks up. Sometimes I think my high expectations ruins thrillers for me, because if it’s labeled thriller, it better knock my socks off and maintain a good pace. That’s just me though. Happy reading, Tessa! 😉

It’s me too. Thrill me, make me make a deeper groove in the edge of my seat, but please don’t put me to sleep 💤.
I’ve enjoyed Wiseman’s writing in the past, so I think Bookminder has a better than average chance of being a very good read!

I’ll be interested to see what you think of Hairpin Bridge. I finished it a while ago and will be posting my review this coming Tuesday on it’s release day.
I just finished The Garden Party by Grace Dane Mazur (also reviewing next week) and am currently reading A Mother for His Twins by Jill Weatherholt.
Happy reading, Tessa!

Those books definitely peaked my interest just by the titles.
Hairpin Bridge is quite different so far. I’m curious to see what I think when I finish it too. And your thoughts now that you are done ❤️

I finished reading The Secret at Sunset Hill. I really enjoyed this book from a self published Indie author I found on Twitter. I’ve been busy trying to attempt my own website. I’m getting some help soon, not before I’ve roped in my daughter to make it more visually pleasing. Apart from that, I’m trying to finish a Kathy Reich book. I brought Only the Innocent by Rachel Abbot. I got it about a month ago, but I’m not reading as much as I should. Instead of binge watching Bones, I should actually read the book it was based on but there aren’t enough hours in the day.

I just got Hairpin Bridge on audio so I’m hoping it picks up for you. Lulu Lemons does sound fun. And, we’ve all had a Miranda, right😏 Just saying…
Enjoy💜

I would think that there are more Miranda-like bosses out there than anyone would ever admit to. Lol. I’m almost done Hairpin Bridge and it definitely picks up right after the 50% mark. Still not sure how I feel about it overall but then I haven’t gotten to the end yet. The end could blow me away.

The Bookminder sounds interesting. I’d never heard of Hairpin Bridge but can’t wait to hear how it goes for you. I’ve seen Lululemons around. I know how it goes after reading several back to back. I end up wanting to read something lighter which is usually when I turn to light romance or Netflix for a week.
