My 2nd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of Dava Shastri's Last Day

T.K. Ambers ❤️ loved this book because...

This book pulls you into the world of a dying woman and makes you feel for everyone involved. The author portrays Dava as a genuine person with great power, but also great flaws. Sometimes I wanted to cry, and at other times I couldn’t help but laugh. I could see the entire situation as if I were both her and her children.

What is this book about?

In this thought-provoking and entertaining debut novel about of a multicultural family, a dying billionaire matriarch leaks news of her death early so she can examine her legacy-a decision that horrifies her children and inadvertently exposes secrets she has spent a lifetime keeping: "Full of music, magnetism, and familial obligation" (Emma Straub, author of All Adults Here).

Dava Shastri, one of the world's wealthiest women, has always lived with her sterling reputation in mind. A brain cancer diagnosis at the age of seventy, however, changes everything, and Dava decides to take her death-like all matters of her life-into her own…


My 3rd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of From the Wizarding Archive (Volume 1)

T.K. Ambers ❤️ loved this book because...

If you love the world of Harry Potter as much as I do, then you should read these books. J.K. Rowling gives background on everything from Professor McGonagall’s childhood to Ollivander’s wands, and Hogwarts, our favorite wizarding school. I cannot get enough. It's phenomenal how this woman's mind works and the amount of research and backstory she created that we never even touch on in her books.

What is this book about?

If you've ever wondered what happened when Vernon Dursley first met James Potter, wanted to know more about the magical properties of wand cores or pondered whether the Malfoys were always wealthy and firmly anti-Muggle - then From the Wizarding Archive (Volume 1) should go straight to the top of your must-read list. Containing 45 articles written by J.K. Rowling for the original Pottermore website, Harry PotterTM fans everywhere are in for a treat. . If there's one thing Harry Potter fans have in common (apart from impeccably good taste), it's questions... so many questions. How do the Hogwarts staff…
