Review: Such Charming Liars by Karen M. McManus

August 2, 2024

The newest mystery from the author One of Us Is Lying, the Queen of thrillers, Karen M. McManus! When mother-daughter grifters set out on their final job, the heist gets deadly and dangerously personal.

For all of Kat’s life, it’s just been her and her mother, Jamie—except for the forty-eight hours when Jamie was married and Kat had a stepbrother, Liam. That all ended in an epic divorce, and Kat and Liam haven’t spoken since.

Now Jamie is a jewel thief trying to go straight, but she has one last job—at billionaire Ross Sutherland’s birthday party. And Kat has figured out a way to tag along. What Kat doesn’t know, though, is that there are two surprise guests at the dazzling Sutherland compound that weekend. The last two people she wants to run into. Liam and his father—a serial scammer who has his sights set on Ross Sutherland’s youngest daughter.

Kat and Liam are on a collision course to disaster, and when a Sutherland dies, they realize they might actually be in the killer’s crosshairs themselves. Somehow Kat and Liam are the new targets, and they can’t trust anyone—except each other.

Or can they? Because if there’s one thing both Kat and Liam know, it’s how to lie. They learned from the best.

Hi my besties! Time for another new blog post, this time a concert review!

TBR: Books I Want to Read During the Olympics

July 25, 2024

Happy 2024 Summer Olympics Eve to all those who celebrate. The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris this year are from Friday, July 26th through Sunday, August 11th and I am SO excited!

I mentioned this in my monthly reset post, but I absolutely love the Olympics. I love sports, I always have — I grew up playing basketball and volleyball (mostly for fun) and played competitive soccer for 6 years (fun fact, I wanted to be a professional soccer player from the ages of 10-14). I’m also a very competitive person, so I love watching the best athletes in the world compete for Olympic gold.

I adore both the summer and winter Olympics, so whenever it’s an Olympic year, the games definitely become a main part of my personality. Because of this, I’ve been wanting to read more sports-focused books (fiction, I am not in the mood for non-fiction at the moment), and of course, I’m leaning toward books that are about Olympic sports. That being said, here are 5 books about summer Olympic sports that I want to read within the next 2 weeks!

Theatre Review: Bonnie & Clyde Pro Shot

July 23, 2024

Hi besties! Welcome to my first theatre review! If you’ve talked about musicals with me for like 5 minutes, then you know that one of my favorite musicals of all time is Bonnie & Clyde. I’ve followed the show since it opened on Broadway in 2011, and though it only ran for a month (RIP) it became so special to me and I’ve been obsessed ever since. Through the years, Bonnie & Clyde has grown in popularity, which has brought me so much joy, and I was SO excited when they announced that the 2022 staged concert performances on the West End would be recorded and released!

The pro shot was released on June 24th of this year, and I finally had the opportunity to watch it over the weekend and thought it would be perfect as the first theatre review on the blog! 

Now, sit back, relax, turn on the Bonnie & Clyde cast recording, and get ready to hear all my thoughts! (It’s a long one friends, get ready!)

Book Recs: Summer Book Recs

July 17, 2024

Hi besties! I shared my Summer TBR a few weeks ago (so far I’ve only read one of these…I gotta get on that!), so I wanted to share some summer recs! As I’ve mentioned, summer is my favorite time of year (though I’ll be honest I did not love that heatwave we went through at the beginning of the month), so of course, I love any book set in the summer or just gives summer vibes.

So, if you’re looking for books to read while lounging by the pool or lying on the beach, I’ve got you. Grab your favorite iced beverage, get comfy, and let’s talk summer book recs!

Mini Reviews: Summerween Reading Wrap Up

July 13, 2024

Hello, my bookish besties! In case you didn’t know, one of my favorite readathons in the book community is the Summerween Readathon hosted by GabbyReads (and a special shoutout to her sister Rachel, who does so much for the readathon!). This year was the 5th anniversary of Summerween and my second year participating!

The Summerween readathon always has such fun prompts and I love prioritizing some horror/mystery/thriller reads in the summer (I say like these are not my most read genres anyway…) and this year was no different! 

In typical Caitlyn fashion, I set a high goal for myself to complete in the week of the readathon while being extremely busy with work, but, I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t! So, if you want to know what I read for Summerween and what I thought about each book, get comfy and cozy, grab your favorite beverage and let’s pretend that it’s Halloween with these scary reads.

Review: The Last Love Song by Kalie Halford

July 10, 2024

A queer YA Mamma Mia! with a dash of Maureen Johnson, The Last Love Song celebrates the music of an uncertain heart—perfect for fans of Nina LaCour, Laura Taylor Namey, and Emma Lord.

After high school graduation, Mia Peters faces a summer full of painful goodbyes. Songwriting is her only solace. Everyone she knows is moving on, including Britt, her biggest supporter … and kind-of-sort-of girlfriend. Britt keeps pushing Mia to go bigger and do better than their small town, but Mia can’t imagine a life beyond Sunset Cove. Besides, she refuses to follow in the footsteps of her late mother—country music star Tori Rose—who abandoned her family to pursue her dream, leaving Mia and her two grandmothers alone.

Desperate for a sign of what might lie ahead, Mia finds the opposite—a mysterious letter from the past, addressed to her in her mother’s handwriting. It turns out to be the first of many. One by one they lead Mia on a wild scavenger hunt through a Sunset Cove she never knew, buried under the memorializing that has frozen her mother in time. Each new discovery brings Mia closer to the real Tori Rose, but with the clock ticking on Britt’s departure, Mia knows she is running out of time.
​
With the summer winding down, Mia must decide if she is ready to face the present, confront her feelings, and forge the destiny she truly wants. A dazzlingly soulful debut, The Last Love Song is perfect for anyone who’s ever tried to decode the clues in the lead-up to a new Taylor Swift album.

Monthly Reset: July 2024

July 1, 2024

Hi, bookish besties! Well, there have been quite a few changes around here lately! 

As you know, Cossette has decided to leave the blog (which I fully support and love her to pieces always and forever) and because of that, I’ve been thinking about how I want to move forward with the blog. I love having this platform, as well as my bookstagram to connect with you all, and have been thinking of new things that I can do to keep things fresh and I’m so excited to share that info with you!
