Goodreads Monday – November 25, 2019

Goodreads Monday is a weekly meme hosted by Lauren’s Page Turners. To participate, choose a random book from your TBR and show it off! It’s that easy, and I like easy 🙂

Basically I pulled up my “Want to Read” list on Goodreads, sorted it by number, and asked Siri to pick a random number from the approx 800 on the list. She chose 85, and that gave us…


Vixen by Jillian Larkin

Jazz . . . Booze . . . Boys . . . It’s a dangerous combination.
 
Every girl wants what she can’t have. Seventeen-year-old Gloria Carmody wants the flapper lifestyle—and the bobbed hair, cigarettes, and music-filled nights that go with it. Now that she’s engaged to Sebastian Grey, scion of one of Chicago’s most powerful families, Gloria’s party days are over before they’ve even begun . . . or are they?
 
Clara Knowles, Gloria’s goody-two-shoes cousin, has arrived to make sure the high-society wedding comes off without a hitch—but Clara isn’t as lily-white as she appears. Seems she has some dirty little secrets of her own that she’ll do anything to keep hidden. . . .
 
Lorraine Dyer, Gloria’s social-climbing best friend, is tired of living in Gloria’s shadow. When Lorraine’s envy spills over into desperate spite, no one is safe. And someone’s going to be very sorry. . . .

I added this to my Goodreads TBR in March 2017, which I’m guessing is when I ordered it from BookOutlet. I used to browse BookOutlet weekly and always ended up with sooo many books because they were really good deals. Except I never read like 80% of those, so now I pretty much avoid it altogether.

I still want to read this at some point. I go through these stages where I really want to read a certain type of book, and Roaring Twenties/Golden Age actually come about from time to time. I have a suspicion that the Twenties Era will make a resurgence in YA again in the next few years if only because 2020 is imminently upon us and if it *doesn’t* make a comeback I will be a little sad. I’ll keep this on my shelf for now!


Have you read this book? If so, what did you think of it? Tell me in the comments below!
