It has been difficult to pick up a book, any book, for some time, for no other reason than being in a funk. I think sometimes you find yourself not really drawn to anything, even books, my one true love. Fortunately, I had this little number lying around to get me out of the funk. https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/review-before-i-let-go-by-marieke-nijkamp monthly 0.5 2025-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608d4a5874e3e06b94d425f7/72454f8d-2bae-42ad-9564-c4510afa9a2f/before-i-let-go-bookcover.jpg Book Reviews - Review: Before I Let Go by Marieke Nijkamp - I have plenty of books. Many of them I have received as gifts and some were given to me by my coworker. Needless to say, I had this book for a long time before I decided to pick it up and give it a read. My primary mission this year is to read all my paperbacks, so I can finally give them away and/or donate them. Which is why, when I picked up “Before I Let Go” by Marieke Nijkamp, and looked at the enticing cover that gave off murder-mystery-in-a-small-cold-town vibes, I was sold! As a former New Yorker who now lives in Florida, I was yearning for a book to remind me of the bitter cold that is the north. https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/review-the-housemaids-secret-by-freida-mcfadden monthly 0.5 2024-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608d4a5874e3e06b94d425f7/4961abc3-23ba-4dde-b2fa-5f616e4826db/IMG_0355.jpg Book Reviews - Review: The Housemaid’s Secret by Freida McFadden https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/review-local-woman-missing-by-mary-kubica monthly 0.5 2024-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608d4a5874e3e06b94d425f7/c0d4e0a7-b6c5-4c86-a05e-d3eeb8cd0b85/Screen+Shot+2024-03-19+at+11.04.14+PM.png Book Reviews - Review: Local Woman Missing by Mary Kubica - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/review-the-night-shift-by-alex-finlay monthly 0.5 2024-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608d4a5874e3e06b94d425f7/4287f9f6-aa09-4fb3-b6e5-634ada47b43e/Screen+Shot+2024-03-19+at+11.00.14+PM.png Book Reviews - Review: The Night Shift by Alex Finlay - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/blog-post-title-one-nrb79 monthly 0.5 2024-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608d4a5874e3e06b94d425f7/1706694699769-XVGDQAFI7IC2UMCY8I1N/image-asset.jpeg Book Reviews - Hello 2024! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/BLOGGING monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/SEO+FOR+BOOKS monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/Bookish monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/Book+nerd monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/Bookaddict monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/Bookphile monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/BOOK+REVIEWS monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/Bookreviews monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/Thriller monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/Book monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/Marieke+Nijkamp monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/BOOK+BLOGGER monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/Mystery monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/Books monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/Books+books+books monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/DEBORAH+CRUZ monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/DEBORAH+CRUZ+BURLACHENKO monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/Literature monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/Murder+mystery monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/BOOK+BLOGGING monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/DEBORAH+ATHENA+CRUZ monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/Bookworm monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/SEO monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/Ruth+ware monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/BLOG monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/book-reviews/tag/Chevy+Stevens monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahac.com/about daily 0.75 2025-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608d4a5874e3e06b94d425f7/b7a15885-5f6c-4a4e-a783-427c66907045/IMG_3616.jpg About - About Deborah Cruz is a writer, editor, content strategist, and digital content creator.
