💫💫💫💫💫 Top 10 BookBub Books I Want To Read ~ Dr. Queen Reads ~ 📚✨💫🎧📖
There are many reads I’m fortunate enough to obtain from
NetGalley as well as directly from authors and their representatives.
At the same time, BookBub is a huge source for my many
literary needs. Here are 10 books that I want to read and will (if I haven’t already)
be adding to my TBR Pile.

Grimm Brothers MC
president, Snake, battled his way to his position by any and all means
necessary. He was powerful, respected, commanding; but most importantly,
he was feared. Then, at the height of power, one ruthless misstep
crumbled his kingdom in an instant. Beaten within inches of his life by a
member of a rival MC, betrayed and left for dead by his own club, Snake
has only two things left to focus on: healing and revenge.As a physical therapist working in the trauma unit, Amanda thought she had seen it all. That is until she met a patient known to her as Nick, a broken man who had sustained the most severe beating she’d ever encountered. Surly, brooding, and angry, he should be a nightmare patient. But under the rough exterior, Amanda couldn’t help but be drawn to his determination to heal. Not to mention he was ridiculously attractive, to the point that she found herself giving him some extra attention.
Women like Amanda—kind, sweet, intelligent, independent, respectable—don’t exist in Snake’s world. When she offers him a place to live after his hospital stay, he can’t figure her out. The more time they spend together, the more torn he becomes between two realities: a gruesome MC world full of lies, betrayal, and hatred, or a life with Amanda that promises healing and peace.
As Snake helps Amanda through some troubling times, passion flares. For the first time in his life, he actually cares about a woman. It’s enough to make him question everything. But after leading a life as a dedicated outlaw, is it too late to turn around? And if not, is he willing to leave his vendetta behind?
I’m a huge Lily Atlas fan and I enjoy her work immensely.
The No Prisoners series is amazing. I’ve read and/or listened to every one with
the exception of this one that features a character was always curious about. I have it on audiobook and plan on listening soon.
A robbery in London’s Charing Cross Road. The murder of a catholic
priest at the end of World War Two. A genocide in Namibia. The discovery
of the remains of Hitler’s personal secretary.
Something connects all these things, and former British spy Jack Price knows the answer. He’s willing to die to keep the secret, but the problem is... he’s not the only one who knows.
It’s the lies that are not heard, but kept as secrets, that own us all. Deep in the world of espionage, lies and deception, how far is Jack willing to go to fulfill his mission?

I checked my collection of books and don’t believe I have
anything by this author. When I got this in my newsletter from BookBub, though,
the summary had me hooked and I got right away.
Some places earn their bad reputation through tall tales or chance. Grizzly Falls is different. Here, killers aren’t just the stuff of legends and campfire lore. Someone is in the nighttime shadows, watching the local teens play around in the moonlit woods. Waiting for the right moment, the right victim. Waiting to take away a life.
Detective Regan Pescoli is counting the days until her maternity leave. Exhausted and emotional, the last thing she needs is another suspected serial killer. Especially when her daughter, Bianca, is swept up in the media storm. When a reality show arrives in town, the chaos only makes it harder for Pescoli and her partner, Selena Alvarez, to distinguish rumor from truth.
Another body is found…and another. And as the nightmare strikes closer to home, Pescoli races to find the terror lingering in the darkness, where there are too many places to hide…and countless places to die…
While I had seen this book on BookBub, I purchased it by
paperback awhile agowhen I saw it in the store. I mostly enjoy Lisa Jackson’s New Orleans
series (Ms. Jackson, please tell me that there will be more of Bentz and
Montoya!! Please, Please PLEASE!!!!) but from time to time I pop in on the happenings
of Pescoli and Alvarez in Grizzly Falls.

When Toru Narazaki’s girlfriend, Ryoko Tachibana, disappears, he tries
to track her down, despite the warnings of the private detective he’s
hired to find her. Ryoko’s past is shrouded in mystery, but the one
concrete clue to her whereabouts is a previous address in the heart of
Tokyo. She lived in a compound with a group that seems to be a cult led
by a charismatic guru with a revisionist Buddhist scheme of life, death,
and society. Narazaki plunges into the secretive world of the cult,
ready to expose himself to any of the guru’s brainwashing tactics if it
means he can learn the truth about Ryoko. But the cult isn’t what he
expected, and he has no idea of the bubbling violence he is stepping
into.
Inspired by the 1995 sarin gas terrorist attack on the Tokyo subway, Cult X is an exploration of what draws individuals into extremism. It is a tour de force that captures the connections between astrophysics, neuroscience, and religion; an invective against predatory corporate consumerism and exploitative geopolitics; and a love story about compassion in the face of nihilism.

A thriller inspired by a true story. Definitely going on my list~
In the wake of this incident, bright but lonely Hannah Dexter is befriended by Lacey Champlain, a dark-eyed, Cobain-worshiping bad influence in lip gloss and Doc Martens. The charismatic, seductive Lacey forges a fast, intimate bond with the impressionable Dex, making her over in her own image and unleashing a fierce defiance that neither girl expected. But as Lacey gradually lures Dex away from her safe life into a feverish spiral of obsession, rebellion, and ever greater risk, an unwelcome figure appears on the horizon—and Lacey’s secret history collides with Dex’s worst nightmare.
By turns a shocking story of love and violence and an addictive portrait of the intoxication of female friendship, set against the unsettled backdrop of a town gripped by moral panic, Girls on Fire is an unflinching and unforgettable snapshot of girlhood: girls lost and found, girls strong and weak, girls who burn bright and brighter—and some who flicker away.
I need to learn more about Dex and Lacey. Sounds like I’ll
be on the edge of my seat with this one~

Since Pillars of the Earth, I’ve been a huge Ken Follett
fan. I haven’t gotten this one yet, but I absolutely plan on adding it to my
TBR list.
A fun-filled cozy mystery! While working as a
bodyguard for a bestselling writer, private eye Mimi stumbles into a
case of homicide — and a detective rivalry with her old college flame…
private detective Mimi Capurro takes on a bodyguard client only to end up investigating a murder.
I prefer my mysteries gritty and dark and a lot less cozy.
However, this looks appealing and the author is new to me. I’ll have to pick this up as well.
What are some reads on your list? Have you read any of these
