I’ve struggled focusing on reading these past several months (anyone else?), but this long weekend, and this book, have been exactly what I’ve needed. I love @alicewriterland books and this latest is out Tuesday and so very good (as expected) // Link in bio, more 👇🏻

Think you know the person you married? Think again…

Things have been wrong with Mr and Mrs Wright for a long time. When Adam and Amelia win a weekend away to Scotland, it might be just what their marriage needs. Self-confessed workaholic and screenwriter Adam Wright has lived with face blindness his whole life. He can’t recognize friends or family, or even his own wife.

Every anniversary the couple exchange traditional gifts--paper, cotton, pottery, tin--and each year Adam’s wife writes him a letter that she never lets him read. Until now. They both know this weekend will make or break their marriage, but they didn’t randomly win this trip. One of them is lying, and someone doesn’t want them to live happily ever after.

Ten years of marriage. Ten years of secrets. And an anniversary they will never forget.

I’m getting that itch to start to change things

I’m reading VELVET WAS THE NIGHT by @silviamg.author, who wrote MEXICAN GOTHIC—a book I absolutely loved! This book is out today and I’m linking it in my stories, and in link in bio. The 📕 scoop 👇🏻

1970s, Mexico City. Maite is a secretary who lives for one thing: the latest issue of Secret Romance. While student protests and political unrest consume the city, Maite escapes into stories of passion and danger.

Her next-door neighbor, Leonora, a beautiful art student, seems to live a life of intrigue and romance that Maite envies. When Leonora disappears under suspicious circumstances, Maite finds herself searching for the missing woman—and journeying deeper into Leonora’s secret life of student radicals and dissidents.

Meanwhile, someone else is also looking for Leonora at the behest of his boss, a shadowy figure who commands goon squads dedicated to squashing political activists. Elvis is an eccentric criminal who longs to escape his own life: He loathes violence and loves old movies and rock ’n’ roll. But as Elvis searches for the missing woman, he watches Maite from a distance—and comes to regard her as a kindred spirit who shares his love of music and the unspoken loneliness of his heart.

Now as Maite and Elvis come closer to discovering the truth behind Leonora’s disappearance, they can no longer escape the danger that threatens to consume their lives, with hitmen, government agents, and Russian spies all aiming to protect Leonora’s secrets—at gunpoint.

Velvet Was the Night is an edgy, simmering historical novel for lovers of smoky noirs and anti-heroes.

I’m reading and loving MALIBU RISING by @tjenkinsreid! I always love Taylor’s books and this one is so good too—it has me totally enthralled!

Thank you @randomhouse for sending me this book!

𝑺𝒚𝒏𝒐𝒑𝒔𝒊𝒔:

Malibu: August 1983. It’s the day of Nina Riva’s annual end-of-summer party, and anticipation is at a fever pitch. Everyone wants to be around the famous Rivas: Nina, the talented surfer and supermodel; brothers Jay and Hud, one a championship surfer, the other a renowned photographer; and their adored baby sister, Kit. Together the siblings are a source of fascination in Malibu and the world over—especially as the offspring of the legendary singer Mick Riva.

The only person not looking forward to the party of the year is Nina herself, who never wanted to be the center of attention, and who has also just been very publicly abandoned by her pro tennis player husband. Oh, and maybe Hud—because it is long past time for him to confess something to the brother from whom he’s been inseparable since birth.

Jay, on the other hand, is counting the minutes until nightfall, when the girl he can’t stop thinking about promised she’ll be there.

And Kit has a couple secrets of her own—including a guest she invited without consulting anyone.

By midnight the party will be completely out of control. By morning, the Riva mansion will have gone up in flames. But before that first spark in the early hours before dawn, the alcohol will flow, the music will play, and the loves and secrets that shaped this family’s generations will all come rising to the surface.

NEW REVIEW: PROJECT HAIL MARY by Andy Weir! 👇🏻

Andy Weir’s PROJECT HAIL MARY sends a science teacher to space in a last-ditch effort to save humanity.

The sun is losing luminosity at an exponential rate—something seems to be siphoning its power alarmingly fast. It’s clear whatever is happening is affecting surrounding stars, all but one—Tau Ceti.

The world’s best minds gather to problem solve, but without answers and with the extinction of humankind looming, a crew agrees to a suicide mission to figure things out.

Ryland Grace was once a well-known molecular biologist, but a controversial paper (and its resulting fallout) pulled him out of academia. Now, as a junior-high-school teacher, he somehow gets tapped to participate in a global taskforce to figure out what’s going on with the sun.

Fast forward some time and Grace wakes up in space—the sole survivor of a mission he can’t seem to recall. But as murky memories begin to return, he realizes the impossible task before him. Light years away and alone, Ryland Grace is humanity’s last chance at survival and time is running out.

As with all of Weir’s novels, PROJECT HAIL MARY is relentlessly propulsive, rife with tension and problem solving. Grace is very much a reluctant hero, and his coming to terms with his role in the mission, as well as his friendship with an unlikely ally, are the main charms of this must-read apocalyptic sci-fi thriller. Non-stop twists (problems) kept me turning the pages, really clamoring to see what would happen next. I love the science, I love the very real relationship dynamics, I love the vulnerability of Grace, and I love that I couldn’t put it down.

It’s an emotional, edge-of-your-seat interstellar race against time and it’s fantastic.
