This was Shelf Care Moms Club's second virtual book club pick! We were excited for a cozy mystery, and thought the timing was perfect with the release of the Netflix movie (with a stellar cast BTW). Unfortunately, this just didn't hit the mark for us.

Our favorite read of the year — seriously — 6 star masterpiece!! Devney Perry has a way of bringing you along on the journey like you're right next to these characters as they experience the story. The storytelling and world building is right where it should be for book 1 in a series—a lot of it feels new and unique, but not over the top or hard to grasp. AND...this is how you do a slow burn right—our MMC and MFC are their own whole persons, and the slow progression of their relationship does falling in love justice. In short...GO READ THIS BOOK.

One of the reviews on the back of the book says “Half a Soul is the definition of a comfort read” — and we couldn’t agree more! Such a cozy, whimsical faerie tale.

This was our first official buddy read over on the Bookstagram channel! We invited our followers to read along with us and join us for a virtual book club — which was so fun and resulted in awesome dialog and new book friends. This is a SOLID 4 Star read — super enjoyable and really fun, especially if you love Greek Mythology.

Emily Henry strikes again! We all loooved this book. A book about books?? How could you not?

Time Travelers Wife meets Post WWII England meets 1700 Scottish Highlands. 

All three of us have a lot to say about this one (obvi — it was one of the most anticipated books of 2025!). The reviews ahead have SPOLIERS, so don't click that "read more" button unless you've already finished.
