The Drift by C.J. Tudor

A group of students are being evacuated to safety at The Retreat when their coach crashes, trapping them inside without food or water while a snowstorm rages and temperatures plummet. Elsewhere, a sudden power outage leaves another group similarly stranded in a cable car suspended high above the ground. Meanwhile, the group of people residing at The Retreat are facing their own perils. Supplies are dwindling, the power supply is unreliable, and everyone is on edge due to suspicious activities that have recently come to light.

The hazards each group faces are different, but they have a few things in common:
All are determined to survive.
None can call for help.
Their greatest fear, above all else, is exposure to the deadly virus that sometimes culminates in something far worse than death itself.

Looking for Jane by Heather Marshall

…a masterful debut novel about three women whose lives are bound together by a long-lost letter, a mother’s love, and a secret network of women fighting for the right to choose—inspired by true stories.

The Choice (The Dragon Heart Legacy #3) by Nora Roberts

What an outstanding book this was! Five stars isn’t enough. This book—as well as the previous books in the trilogy—has more than earned ALL the stars… and here’s why:

Music Monday: “Black Sheep” by Dorothy

Music Monday is hosted by Drew @The Tattooed Book Geek.

An entire year has gone since I last shared anything for Music Monday. I’d say it’s long past time for me to get back to it, wouldn’t you? This week’s song is “Black Sheep” by Dorothy, from their 2022 album Gifts from the Holy Ghost.

The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins

I didn’t realize (at first) that this was a modern-day retelling of Jane Eyre (which, despite good intentions, I’ve not yet read). That kind of bummed me out, because I’d ordinarily want to have read the original novel first before diving into something like this. Once I knew what I was reading, I toyed with the idea of setting it aside, but I was already so invested in the story that it would have been impossible for me to do it.
