The Harbinger: The Ancient Mystery that Holds the Secret of America's Future|Paperback
This one is eye-opening and quite intense. Great read.

I love C.S. Lewis. The Screwtape Letters was actually the first C.S. Lewis I read after salvation and I've collected several since.
The Screwtape Letters|Paperback
Non-fiction
Christian and historical non-fiction. I love them both.
This was one of the very first Christian Non-fiction books I read after salvation. I usually put only new reads on this page but sometimes, you gotta add the best of the best.
The Battle for the Beginning
This hit home. It was like "trying to take a sip of water from a fire hydrant" indeed!
Pleasing People: How Not to Be an
My all time favorite Christian Non-fiction Arthur. Not only do I recommend reading Strange Fire, listen to the series on gty.org also. Truth, John MacArthur teaches and preaches the Truth. Love it.
Strange Fire
Sweet contemporary romance to hot & spicy romance
All the romance, sweet heat, contemporary, fire, … well, y'all get the idea.
Heartwarming journey. Couldn't put it down. To quote the description which says it perfectly … “An uplifting summer escape that will strengthen your family bonds and have you believing in the incredible power of love. If you enjoyed the TV movies bas...
The Magic of Sea Glass|Paperback
My friend sent me this book and I'm so thankful she did; I loved this book. It's a fake relationship kinda romance.
Love, Unscripted|Paperback
I love all books by this author. Sweet & Spicy read involving a smoking hot fire fighter.
The Wedding Dilemma (Mile High Firefighters)
Funny, sweet, spicy … a must read! This author is amazing. Her books are well balanced.
The Dating Dilemma
Another sizzler. Check this series out y'all.
The Firefighter's Dilemma
Loved it! This is the Mile High book 1 and is a best friends to lovers.
The Best Friend Problem (Mile High Happiness 1)
The Best Man Problem is the second book in the Mile High Happiness series. The books in the series can also be read as standalones. I loved Lincoln & Lilly's story; it's light and funny, a little steamy ... loved it!
The Best Man Problem (Mile High Happiness Book 2)
The Roommate Problem is the 3rd of the Mile High Happiness series and August & Mo's story.
The Roommate Problem (Mile High Happiness Book 3)

Here is a collection of my more recently read thrillers. This list includes all the subgenres: mystery, suspense, romantic suspense, psychological thrillers, etc.
One of my favorite authors. This one like many of her books will make you go “wow” at the end.
The Teacher (B&N Exclusive Edition)|BN Exclusive
Intense and unput-downable, as always! Love this author!
Quarter to Midnight|Hardcover
You will not want to put this book down!! Karen Rose is one of the absolute best authors, hands down.
Beneath Dark Waters|Hardcover
One of my favorite authors. This is book #1 of The Texas Murder Files.
Hidden|Paperback
Book #2 of The Texas Murder Files. I read this series out of order and do believe they could be read as standalones.
Flight|Paperback
Book #3 of The Texas Murder Files. (I actually read this one first and wasn't lost so I believe these are ok to be read like a standalone.)
Midnight Dunes|Paperback
First time reading this author but I wound up really getting into this book. Very good psychological thriller. Check it out.
First Lie Wins (Reese's Book Club Pick)|Hardcover
I really enjoyed this cozy mystery but I am a major sucker for cozies including fur babies, especially dogs.
Murder, She Barked (Paws and Claws Mystery Series #1)|Paperback
Enjoyed this mystery with a twist. When you're so sure and then you're wondering, "well maybe ... ," Love this style of writing.
You Shouldn't Have Come Here|Paperback
I'd definitely call this an excellent psychological thriller for a debut especially. Loved it!
The Perfect Marriage|eBook
This is the first book of the Kimberly King series. I read it rather quickly, I enjoyed it that much and just had to know, ya know?!
Dead Woman Crossing|Paperback
Book two of the Kimberly King series. Another great thriller from this author!
Last Day Alive|Paperback
This was the debut for A. J. Finn and it was certainly an excellent debut. Loved the book; couldn't finish the movie.
The Woman in the Window|Paperback
I'm not sure why I was hesitant at the first; I cannot remember because I became absorbed in this story; I had to know the truth, how it all would end. I stayed up through the wee hours on a work night to finish this one. Great debut from this author...
Middletide: A Novel|Hardcover
This was one of my first Book of The Month reads. For a debut work, this was an incredibly captivating thriller. I believe the narrator in this is referred to as an unreliable narrator. Highly recommend this thriller with a shocking twist.
The Silent Patient|Paperback
Horror/Paranormal
Anyone else love a good scare occasionally? I love something that can compete with my nightmares for a scare factor.
This thriller is supernatural! I loved it. I'm not into spoilers because that just ruins a good book. But the surprises surprise. Check it out.
Hidden Pictures: A Novel|Paperback
There were mixed reviews, as there normally are, but I am glad I bought this one. Highly recommend this one for fans of horror.
The Book of Accidents|Paperback
Definitely recommend reading The Shining whether you've already watched the movie or not. There's so much more to the book and it's so good; don't miss out because you've "seen the movie." Same for Dr. Sleep.
The Shining|Paperback
READ THE BOOK. The movie is really good but the book is a thousand times better. There's so much that really couldn't be fit into a single movie anyway I imagine but the book is so flipping good, I couldn't put it down; of course, I do love me some S...
Doctor Sleep|Paperback
⚠️ Trigger warning. Domestic violence and everything that comes with it.⚠️ This was a typical King book for me meaning that it drew me in and I finished it rather quickly for my reading speed; finished in 3 days. Anyway, so as much as I loved it, the...
Rose Madder: A Novel|Paperback
This one was quite different and loved that. have to say, I will not look at a willow tree the same again, though they can be quite beautiful and majestic, will be reminded of this book. Definitely recommend this journey into another reality.
The Hollow Places|Paperback
Just finished this this morning, the morning I'm adding this to the list that is. Anyway, depending on what is horror from your perspective, this could be scary or just a really good ghost story, though I think it's more than just ghosts. Check it ou...
Gallows Hill|Paperback
Women's Fiction
Some of these may lean more or less toward romance but I feel they are more fitting in this category; either, they're great reads in my opinion.
I have read several books by this author and have enjoyed them all. I loved the Bucket List. The anxiety that robs one of joy hits very close to home and this work of fiction does kind of inspire hope but most of all, it was a great story with great ...
The Bucket List|Paperback
There's some romance here too. This story is the tale of 3 women on a search for joy. "Hope, heartache, and the power of friendship," hits the nail on the head. Loved it.
The Happiness Plan|Paperback
