📚February Reads on the Road: 5-Star Thrillers, Heavy Literary Fiction & Juicy Cinderella Retelling!

Описание: Jump in the car with me for a chill February driving vlog where I chat about what I've been reading lately!

I finished 🌹The Roses of May (book 2 in Dot Hutchison's Collector series) on audiobook—4.5⭐stars, loved the character depth and survivor focus after adoring The Butterfly Garden🦋 (my first 5-star of the year). I snagged the full series on sale and can't wait for books 3 & 4!

Then, an intense ARC dive into John of John by Douglas Stuart (coming May 2026)—a masterful, emotional family drama set in the Outer Hebrides (Scotland). Not my usual genre, but easily 5⭐stars for the writing and immersion.

And for pure fun: the audiobook ARC of Lady Tremaine🍎 by Rachel Hochhauser (a fresh Cinderella retelling from the stepmother's POV)—juicy, hilarious, shocking mic-drop moments, and narrated brilliantly by Bessie Carter. 4.5 ⭐stars (personal preference on the ending).

Plus quick thoughts on finding my 2025 reading groove after last year's dark romance/thriller mix.
