Dear Readers,

Some stories don’t begin with a plan.

They begin with a feeling.

That’s how Something Borrowed found me—not through plotting or planning, but with a quiet image I couldn’t shake: a woman unlocking the door to an old bridal boutique on a breezy Florida morning. I didn’t know her name yet. I didn’t know why she’d returned. But I knew she was holding on to something—memories, longing, maybe even regret. And I knew I needed to follow her.

Her name became Becky Navarro. And the boutique...

Dear Readers,

Okay—I just saw the trailer for the new version of The Running Man and I am so excited! As someone who’s been a longtime fan of Stephen King (or in this case, Richard Bachman), this was one of those “finally!” moments.

Let’s be clear: I really enjoyed the original 1987 movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was bold, wild, and packed with that over-the-top '80s action flair. But from the looks of this new version? We're getting something that still feels fun and entertaining—but...

Dear Readers,

I just finished Verity by Colleen Hoover—and I had to jump on here immediately to tell you about it.

This book completely consumed me. From the very first page, I was hooked. Hoover’s writing is sharp, unsettling, and addictive in the best way. Verity is a psychological thriller that takes you down dark corridors you didn’t see coming, and I honestly could not put it down. Every chapter left me wanting more, and every twist pulled me deeper into the story.

Without spoiling too...

Dear Readers,

Some stories never let go—and I Know What You Did Last Summer is one of them for me.

I was just eight years old when my mom gave me the novel by Lois Duncan as a birthday gift. It was my first real taste of mystery and suspense, and I devoured it. That book opened a whole new world to me. I still have my original copy—its pages a little worn, the cover soft with age—but it remains one of my most treasured possessions.

Years later, in 1997, I was...

Dear Readers,

Some stories find you when you least expect them.

Recently, I was in Indiana, walking through a quiet downtown street when I came across something that stopped me in my tracks: an old, shuttered bookstore. The windows were dusty, the sign barely legible, and time had clearly had its way with the place—but there was something about it that pulled at me.

I stood there for a long moment, staring at the building, imagining what it once was. Who had unlocked those doors each morning?...

Dear Readers,
