Yesterday was day 1 of our visit to Vatican City! We toured St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican necropolis, which was fascinating! I've been to the Vatican before, but this was my first time touring underground where St. Peter supposedly is buried and in the Vatican grottoes. If you love history or anything archeological, it's more than worth the visit. I think it's been the best part of our visit so far...besides all the gelato I've eaten, which we don't want to talk about!🙊⠀⠀
-⠀⠀
I wimped out and took the elevator up instead of climbing the first 320 steps to the dome in St. Peter's, unlike my hubby-showoff! But I wanted to go to the top, so I had to climb the remaining 231 steps. I hate small, enclosed spaces, so it was pretty uncomfortable at times! But the view overlooking St. Peter's square, the Vatican Gardens, the museum, the Sistine Chapel and more was just so intoxicating that it made the climb up (and back down) worth it!⠀⠀
-⠀⠀
This morning we're back in Vatican City for day 2 of our tour. This time for the Papal Audience with the pope (it is so crowded and completely amazing!) then we'll tour the Vatican Museum and Gardens! Super excited about today, but it's going to be another exhausting day--sightseeing is hard work!⠀

Happy Monday! I hope your week is off to a great start! 😊⠀
-⠀
Today we toured the Colosseum, and it was amazing! This is my 2nd trip to Rome and visiting these sites, but it has been decades AND it's my hubby's 1st trip. So I'm super excited to see all the historical sites with him, and the Colosseum was number one on his list--good thing it lived up to his expectations!⠀
-⠀
We did a tour that included the underground part of the arena and saw where the gladiators and wild animals were kept before they fought, then we walked the arena floor. It was like stepping back in time. The construction and engineering of the Colosseum is just amazing; my hubby is an engineer, so it really made him geek out!⠀
-⠀
Another great day and now for a small nap before dinner! I'm still on NC time, ugh!⠀
-⠀
Is there a historical site you really want to see? I'd love to know!⠀

Ciao, everyone! I hope you're enjoying your Sunday and either doing something wonderful or getting lots of reading done.📚❤

I'm on vacation in Italy 🇮🇹 with my hubby, so I probably won't be posting pictures of books over the next 2 weeks even though I'll be squeezing in as much reading time as I can. I am going to try and post pictures of my trip when I get a chance!
-
We finally arrived in Rome around noon after being delayed for 4 hours in Raleigh, NC yesterday, so I'm so happy to be here. It's gorgeous! I could stare at this view all day. This pic was taken from Basilica di Santa Maria in Aracoeli atop Capitoline Hill. Just lovely.

I'm off to eat some yummy gelato, continue sightseeing, and enjoy myself!

Review: Stone Mothers by Erin Kelly Thank you @minotaur_books for the copy! #partner Publishes 4/23!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
.
Marianne Thackeray, ex-boyfriend Jesse Brame, and now MP Helen Greenlaw have been entangled in a dreadful secret for over thirty years. Marianne thought she'd escaped her past, but this shared secret and Jesse's deep-seated hatred of the woman who destroyed Nazareth Hospital, the mental asylum that employed most of Nusstead, could be her undoing.
.
The secret is hinted at throughout the book, which is told in four different parts starting in the present, going back to the 1950s, and returning to the present. I love Kelly's slow-burning style and each part not only begins to unravel the mystery but foretells what's to come next with an emotional impact that had me bracing myself. I will say the part written in the 1950s is my favorite of all even though it was gut-wrenching, horrifying, and sometimes hard to read.
.
Kelly has a true knack for getting you to care about social issues and intensely reflect while these issues assault your thoughts. Before reading this, I had no idea "stone mothers" was another name used for mental hospitals in Victorian times. After reading the way mental patients were treated even into the late 1950s, the title took on a tragic meaning. More than writing a psychological thriller, Kelly has cleverly and deftly exposed the injustices and inequalities toward women, the mentally ill, and the poor.
.
What Kelly does so well is write psychological suspense that's a perfectly paced slow-burn where the suspense gradually builds to a stunning climax. Stone Mothers is not only well-written, but beautiful prose that is literary and strikingly beautiful-this isn't just a suspense novel, it reads like literary fiction because it's elegantly nuanced, detailed, and multilayered with haunted characters and a twisted plot so intriguing that I couldn't put it down.
.
.
QOTD: Have you read any of Kelly's books? Do you have a favorite?

Review: The Better Sister Thanks, Harper via Edelweiss for my ARC #partner; Publishes 4/16th!⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
.
I wanted to love The Better Sister but felt it missed the ingredients that made The Wife and The Ex 5 star reads.
.
In this light domestic thriller, Chloe Taylor is the alleged better sister compared to her sister Nicky. Chloe's successful, wealthy, & starter of the #MeToo movement. Did I mention she's married to Nicky's ex-husband Adam and raising her nephew, Ethan? As you can imagine, the sisters are far from close! Yet, these two sisters have no choice but join together in an uneasy partnership after Adam is murdered and Ethan is the only suspect.
.
While this has an outstanding plot and the makings of an excellent book, it fell short. Don't get me wrong, it's addictive & page-turning. I binged it in two sittings and enjoyed it thoroughly even if I didn't love it! I thought from the beginning to the middle it was going to be on par with The Wife, but it began to be predictable and just fell flat.
.
One reason I'm glad I read this is that I love Burke's writing style; she writes flawlessly and really excels at brilliantly incorporating her legal expertize into the police investigations and courtroom setting. Another great thing is the book isn't gimmicky at all: nothing was thrown in to test the reader's patience like over the top twists that just could never happen in real life, impossible to believe characters, etc—you know what I mean! It was just a well-written, conceivable murder mystery in a world of the same old, same old genre of domestic thrillers.
.
While I didn't love The Better Sister, I did enjoy it, and I definetely recommend picking it up to see what you think! It's a quick read that's great for spring/summer reading!
.
Is The Better Sister on your TBR? Did you enjoy The Wife? What April release are you most excited about?

Happy Publication Day to Death of a New American by Mariah Fredericks! Thank you @minotaur_books for my review copy!
.
If you enjoy historical mysteries, then look no further because this is a superb book! The story takes place in America not long after the sinking of the Titanic and it was obvious that the author had researched the time period meticulously. The details are stunning and the scenes are masterfully written.
.
Jane Prescott is a ladies' maid and amateur sleuth. She's a fantastic heroine who is well characterized, and I found her to be appealing, compassionate, witty, and intelligent. When she finds the nanny murdered, she begins investigating. Is it a botched kidnapping or something much more sinister? Her intelligence and wit are perfect in helping her solve this mystery! I definitely recommend this one. Full review on my blog-#linkinbio

Review: Someone Knows Thank you @putnambooks and Edelweiss for my ARC! Releases 4/9/19 🌟🌟🌟🌟
.
Lisa Scottoline is a vivid, compelling wordsmith and she certainly uses her expert storytelling talents to great effect in her newest novel. Be forewarned though that there are some dark, serious topics that might not be for every reader.
.
The story is told in two different timelines—most of the story takes place in the past and the rest in the present day. When the novel starts, there's been a suicide on the 20th anniversary of horrific events that left one teenager dead after a drunken dare went tragically wrong.
.
Of the three who still keep the secrets from that night, Allie's never been able to set aside her guilt and trauma. Because of this, she's determined to find answers about what really happened and will confront her former friends about why the dare went so tragically wrong—at any cost.
.
Scottoline's writing is fluid and effortless, and I enjoyed how she handled the many characters in the book and their multiple POVs. There are plenty of scandalous and horrifying secrets revealed among all the characters! I wasn't expecting so many jaw-dropping moments, but there they were. The twists in the book were explosive, and the ending was one I didn't see coming.
.
This is a bit of a departure from Scottoline's previous books, which I think will go either way with her readers. I enjoyed it because I think it shows her excellent writing range and ability to stay fresh and current in a genre that all too often manages to produce the same old thing time after time. Even though the suspense in the book is dark and explores some very powerful and even offputting topics, I appreciated her uncanny ability to explore the emotions, guilt, and psychological issues because past events do shape a person's future.
.
Another win by Scottoline! Review on my blog today-#linkinbio
.
QOTD: Have you read Someone Knows or is it on your TBR? Do you have a favorite Scottoline book?

I'm so thankful that I saw the personal post shared by Carrie @bostonbookfanatic about her fight with a pulmonary embolism last year because it's such an important issue!Please make sure you head over there and read her post!
❤
I'm posting my red stack today to help #stoptheclot and share my personal story about PE. Last August, my son called 911 when I started having a racing heart, palpitations, severe chest pain, left arm pain, trouble breathing, and dizziness. I thought I was having a severe panic attack until the pain in my chest slammed into me so hard I was couldn't breathe and almost blacked out. I felt this feeling of impending doom and immediately knew something was terribly wrong.
❤
The EMT at first thought I was having a heart attack because of my chest pain and pain all down my left arm. I then started coughing up blood and collapsed. I had bilateral blood clots in my lungs, 6 smaller ones in my left and a massive one in my right. I was immediately admitted to the cardiac ICU in critical condition and a chaplain was called to sit with my husband and kids. I wasn't expected to live and almost didn't as I was resuscitated 2x during the night and while they performed surgery to remove the clot in my right lung.
❤
I ended up staying in the hospital ICU for 2 weeks, and my recovery has been slow-complicated by having Lupus since my immune system is already compromised. My biggest risk factor for PE is having Lupus since it not only increases the chance of getting a blood clot but makes me twice as likely to die from one, so I am so very lucky to be alive! Having PE's was definitely a wake-up call that anything can happen to you at any time, and I live each day now just thankful to be with my husband, kids, family, and friends. Time is so precious.
❤
Blood clots are scary because they are sudden and often deadly, so deadly that one person dies every 6 minutes from a blood clot! For more info go to: https://www.stoptheclot.org/Please share your redstacks to spread PE awareness!

It's been cold and rainy all day, so I'm now happily curled up in bed on this Friday evening with my current read, Little Darlings by @melaniegoldingauthor!
.
What a book so far! I meant to read for just a bit then go start dinner, but I lost track of time and now dinner is take-out...oops! This is a creepy, atmospheric read. I love the haunting, dark folklore aspect to the story and am really connecting with the new mom, Lauren who has postpartum depression after the birth of her twins, which is something I had terribly after having my 3 kids. It's a horrific experience that not everyone can relate to or understand, but I appreciate 100% how well Golding is characterizing this. I can't wait to see what happens the rest of this book! Suspenseful!
.
Synopsis:
Everyone says Lauren Tranter is exhausted, that she needs rest. And they’re right; with newborn twins, Morgan and Riley, she’s never been more tired in her life. But she knows what she saw: that night, in her hospital room, a woman tried to take her babies and replace them with her own…creatures. Yet when the police arrived, they saw no one. Everyone, from her doctor to her husband, thinks she’s imagining things.
.
A month passes. And one bright summer morning, the babies disappear from Lauren’s side in a park. But when they’re found, something is different about them. The infants look like Morgan and Riley―to everyone else. But to Lauren, something is off. As everyone around her celebrates their return, Lauren begins to scream, These are not my babies.
.
Determined to bring her true infant sons home, Lauren will risk the unthinkable. But if she’s wrong about what she saw…she’ll be making the biggest mistake of her life.
.
Compulsive, creepy, and inspired by some our darkest fairy tales, Little Darlings will have you checking―and rechecking―your own little ones. Just to be sure. Just to be safe.
.
Have you read Little Darlings? Is it on your TBR? What are you reading this weekend?📚📖

Have you read The Mother-in-Law by @sallyhepworth? My full review is on my blog today, #linkinbio
.
I loved the book! Thanks to @netgalley and @stmartinspress for the e-arc copy, publishes 4/23! 🌟🌟🌟🌟💫
.
We’ve all heard and read the stories about the notorious, mean and, ruthless mother-in-law, and I thought going into that this was going to be another story about that kind of mother-in-law-you know the one! Trust me, though, you’ve never met a mother-in-law like Diana, the namesake in Hepworth’s intensely complex new book…
.
Diana has been found dead, and it initially looks like she’s committed suicide since there is a note found nearby yet an autopsy soon points to homicide leaving every member of the family suspect as they all seem to have some motive in wanting her dead.
.
Hepworth’s writing is smooth, intoxicating, and mesmerizing as she plays into the twisted emotions surrounding Diana’s death, the subsequent homicide investigation, and the build-up to the fateful day of Diana’s death. The story is told through shifting POVs and time periods both past and present by Diana and Lucy, the daughter-in-law, and family secrets slowly unfold.
.
Diana is undoubtedly the center of this family with her controlling ways although she may not have realized it because as you get deeper into the chapters and learn more about Diana, you discover all isn’t as it seems. Is she cold and aloof? Yes. Is she emotionally distant? Very. But there’s more to her than meets the eye, and her behavior and attitudes have reasons, which is all slowly and skillfully revealed throughout the book.
.
The Mother-in-Law is a compelling and powerful domestic mystery that examines the dynamics between not only daughters-in-law and their mothers-in-law, but family relationships as a whole while also being twisted and suspensful! Highly recommend putting it on your TBR!
.
Is it on your TBR? Do you have a favorite domestic suspense novel?

Happy Publication Day to Little LovelyThings by @maureenjconnollyauthor! I'm thrilled to share my review today for this excellent, compelling debut. It's a must read that grabs your attention from the beginning of the novel and never ends because Connolly writes with such vivid, eloquent prose! Thank you @sourcebooks @netgalley for the review copy #partner 🌟🌟🌟🌟💫
.
Medical resident Claire Rawlings is on her way to work with her two young girls, Andrea and Lily, in her car when she's suddenly so sick from an allergic reaction. The dizziness, weakness, and nausea are so overwhelming she must pull over at a gas station, so she can frantically get to the bathroom, leaving her sleeping girls in her running car. She passes out and when she wakes, her car and daughters are missing. This is only the start of a horrendous nightmare for her and her husband Glen, whose lives are shattered by the girl's disappearances.
.
Little Lovely Things is a heart-wrenching story that as a mother especially pulled at my emotions and left me in tears throughout. Although the novel is taut with tension and full of suspense throughout, this is also an emotionally evocative book! Connolly is an astoundingly astute writer and whether you are a parent are not, this affecting and heartbreaking novel will make you feel all the emotions experienced by every one of the characters, whether those feelings are guilt, loss, grief, hopelessness, faith, hope, forgiveness, and love.
.

Thanks so much, @harlequinbooks for the exciting #bookmail!
The Yankee Widow (5/7/19):
.
Told in a smart, assured and compelling voice, the novel is the story of Caroline, the young wife of Jacob, who live on a farm raising their daughter Rachel just outside of Gettysburg. When Jacob joins the Northern army to do his duty and help save the Union, no one anticipates he will not return. Caroline gets news that he is wounded and has been taken to Washington DC with his regiment, and so she must find her way there and navigate the thousands of wounded to find him. Thus begin this multigenerational saga that focuses on the strong women and men of both sides and both races who sacrificed so much and loved so well during this critical juncture in American history.
.
The Flight Girls (7/2/19):
.
A stunning story about the Women Airforce Service Pilots, whose courage during World War II turned ordinary women into extraordinary heroes. Audrey Coltrane has always wanted to fly. It's why she implored her father to teach her at the little airfield back home in Texas. It's why she signed up to train military pilots in Hawaii when the war in Europe began. And it's why she insists she is not interested in any dream-derailing romantic involvements, even with the disarming Lieutenant James Hart, who fast becomes a friend as treasured as the women she flies with. Then one fateful day, she gets caught in the air over Pearl Harbor just as the bombs begin to fall, and suddenly, nowhere feels safe. Following the attack, Audrey joins the Women Airforce Service Pilots program, hoping to make everything she's lost count for something. The bonds she forms with her fellow pilots reignite a spark of hope in the face war, and-especially when James goes missing in action-give Audrey the strength to cross the front lines and fight for everything she holds dear. The Flight Girls is a sweeping portrayal of women's fearlessness in the face of adversity, and the power of friendship to make us soar.
.
Do either of these catch your eye? I love historical fiction, so I'm excited!

Happy Sunday! I'm a day late posting my yellow books in support of endometriosis awareness month but since it's still March, I wanted to get my pic up for #inmarchwestackyellowforendo 💛
.
Thanks so much @christinastephaniereads for spreading the word about this extremely painful, chronic disease that is a personal one for me.
.
My endometriosis story begins when I was a 12 and had severe cramps and heavy bleeding that often caused me to miss days of school when I was menstruating. My mom thought I was faking it to skip school, but I wasn't. I was frustrated that the only thing I was told was get used to the pain because it was part of being a woman.
.
The severe cramps and heavy bleeding worsened as I hit my 20s, especially after my 1st child was born. I ended up with cyst after cyst, month long cramps, and I could barely stand when having my periods because of the pain. But no Dr took it seriously or had answers.
.
Then came 5 miscarriages and a stillbirth. No one thought my chronic pelvic pain and heavy bleeding could be related to my pregnancy losses, but it was since having endometriosis increases your chances of a miscarriage by as much as 76%.
.
After my daughter was born in 2010, my now gyn diagnosed me with endometriosis after I insisted something was wrong. I had surgery to remove adhesions growing in my pelvic cavity and on my bladder. Since then, I've had ablation surgery 2x.
.
There's no cure for endometriosis, so I take daily hormones to help with the symptoms. I'm just so thankful my Dr finally believed me and gave me a diagnosis. If you think you may have it, insist your Dr evaluate you or find one who will.
.
Unfortunately, endometriosis often goes undiagnosed or has a delayed diagnosis, although 1 in 10 women is affected and over 150 million women have the disease. You probably know someone with it without realizing.
.
Thank you, Christina, for spreading the word for endometriosis awareness! 💛 If I can answer questions about endometriosis, please just ask!
