My favorite read in 2024

Book cover of Project Hail Mary

Kyle Ann Robertson ❤️ loved this book because...

I don't usually read this genre, but in Project Hail Mary, I loved how Andy Weir progressed- for lack of a better word- his characters through this novel. It is very hard to describe this novel... and I will not see the movie because the book is so brilliantly written.I don't want to spoil anything, but he seamlessly brings you into the main 2 character's worlds as they maneuver in and with each other. It's captivating how as the character's options decrease, the reader can easily go for the ride.

All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

My 2nd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of Tex Miller Is Dead

Kyle Ann Robertson ❤️ loved this book because...

I was blessed to receive an advance copy of Tex Miller is Dead, and my cheeks are still sore from snickering my way through this clever, witty story. Kelly Elizabeth Huston’s tongue-in-cheek humor had me reading straight through the night! Humor aside, the storyline itself is unique and intriguing. Callie (so cleverly named if you know your Greek muses) is just trying to move on with her career and let sleeping dogs lie, but the universe has something else in store for her, and I was along for the ride! I am so looking forward to the next novel from Kelly Elizabeth Huston.

This is one of my most favorite books. I love this time period as our country prospered and this woman was there to help! She came from nothing, and rose to great heights with humility and smarts. I love historical fiction and this was darn near all truth. LOVED IT!

White Picket Fences

By Kyle Ann Robertson,

Book cover of White Picket Fences

What is my book about?

White Picket Fences is a heartfelt family drama fueled by an honest story of motherhood, written for those of us caught up in our own self-searching journeys. The one thing Julie Cahill knows because of her transitory upbringing as a military brat is that she never had a hometown. So she has made sure her kids would grow up in one forever home, in a forever neighborhood, with lots of forever friends. Yet her dream of a permanent hometown has her feeling fenced in.

Set in the Delaware Bay area, Julie has achieved her dreams but struggles with having to accept invisibility, underappreciation, and being taken for granted by her family in trade for her unconditional love. Her guilt over not being available for her family on that one fateful day has her challenging karma by tightening her grip on her daughters and husband, ultimately pushing them away.
