Hello! Welcome to Shelf Secrets (now The Book Reveal) , a book recommendation episode (formerly Surprise Books & More) in which I read a book “in secret” and share it with you in under 15 minutes. These are not books I’ve previously read and I haven’t shared them anywhere else. My goal is to read and share under the radar gems. These could be new releases no one’s talking about or they could be long forgotten backlist. The book I’m sharing today is a 2013 release from a popular author’s backlist. I hope you enjoy this quick audio review and recommendation.
