I'm finishing up my #currentread today then I plan on diving into #BringHerHome by @davidbellnovels , I'm in the mood for a good mystery! . 💭Are you a mood reader or can you read whatever, whenever? . SYNOPSIS In the breathtaking new thriller from David Bell, bestselling author of Since She Went Away and Somebody I Used to Know, the fate of two missing teenage girls becomes a father's worst nightmare.... Just a year and a half after the tragic death of his wife, Bill Price's fifteen-year-old daughter, Summer, and her best friend, Haley, disappear. Days later, the girls are found in a city park. Haley is dead at the scene, while Summer is left beaten beyond recognition and clinging to life. As Bill holds vigil over Summer's bandaged body, the only sound the unconscious girl can make is one cryptic and chilling word: No. And the more time Bill spends with Summer, the more he wonders what happened to her. Or if the injured girl in the hospital bed is really his daughter at all. When troubling new questions about Summer's life surface, Bill is not prepared for the aftershocks. He'll soon discover that both the living and the dead have secrets. And that searching for the truth will tear open old wounds that pierce straight to the heart of his family... .

Today is my day on the blog tour for the release this week of Blackmail and Bibingka by Mia P. Manansala. This is the third book in the Tita Rosie's Kitchen Mystery series. "Lila's cousin, Ronnie, is back in town hoping to reopen a local winery. One of his business partner's dies under suspicious circumstances. Everyone looks at Ronnie because of his history but Lila, along with her friends and aunties hopes to find answers before anyone else is killed." Lots of mentions of food in this story (It is a cozy mystery after all) It's almost as if the food and drinks are also characters in the story. Like previous books there are recipes of favorites at the end so feel free to give them a try. One of the fun parts of this series is the interactions between all of the friends and family. Much of it seems to revolve around food. Lila is in a much better place than the first book and has a stronger, more confident personality. And you have to like a story with a dachshund. Fans of cozy mysteriws and the other books in this series will enjoy this one. And we haven't seen the last of Lila and family - Manansala announced another three books coming. #blackmailandbibingka #miapmanansala #berkleypub #blogtour #cozymystery #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #readinglife #bookwormlife #sodacityreads #bookworm #suspensebook #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #homelibrary #thrillerbooks #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller #characterdrivenbooks #mysterythriller #bookrecs https://www.instagram.com/p/CjVqx6tLICG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Armored is the beginning of a new series from Mark Greaney. "Josh Duffy is now a Mall cop after losing a leg during an assignment for a military contractor. He runs into an old buddy who convinces him to do one more run with a different contractor. This contract will have them escorting UN officials on a secretive mission deep into cartel country. It's very dangerous but financially very lucrative - and Duffy is desperate for money to care for his family. But he has no idea what's really going on or just how much danger he's in..." This might be the first story I've read where the private security contractors are the main characters. There do seem to be some stereotypes here but it's not overly done. Duffy is the one with a different code. The one that the others look to when it looks like there's no way out. Lots of action in this one - Lots. I did not see the couple of twists that Greaney throws in there near the end. You think it's a straightforward story and then BOOM - you're headed another way. Duffy's wife, Nichole, is also an integral part and together they make a formidable team. Hope to see more of them in future books. A wild ride from Greaney. #armored #markgreaney #berkleypublishing #berkleypub #netgalley #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #readinglife #bookwormlife #sodacityreads #bookworm #suspensebook #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #homelibrary #thrillerbooks #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller #characterdrivenbooks #mysterythriller #bookrecs https://www.instagram.com/p/CftcpXHL-o-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hoping my new granddaughter gets here today. Wishing an uncomplicated delivery for @rachelgoode_ All you moms say a little prayer for her. I hoped that this book would be a BOTM pick or even an add-on for June. No luck 🤷🏼‍♂️ So I ordered a copy and bumped it up my stack. I really enjoy Henry’s writing style and I anticipate liking Book Lovers.
