    What to read in June 2023

    I have a confession. I couldn’t wait for my June travels to read The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang. I read it in May. My favorite of the three books is The Kiss Quotient, whose premise is so outlandish I couldn’t not like it. Other books I read include It’s Raining Men by Rich Amooi,…

    My February reading deviated from the plan (shocking, I know). No Maeve Binchy book, but I had the privilege of reading an advance review copy of Krissy Baccaro’s latest book, Lies That Bind. The other books in her Ella Perri Mysteries Series were fantastic so I was thrilled to get this one in my hands. …
