This weekly meme was started by @Lauren’s Page Turners. It is now being hosted by Budget Tales Book Blog. To participate, choose a random book from your GoodReads TBR and show it off. Which sounds easy enough until you have to decide how to choose that book! I think I will use a different way each week, like picking a color or number of pages. I will let you know each week how I chose the book and then something interesting about it, like how it ended up on the list or why I want to read it. Got it? Okay let’s get started.
So many good books are coming out this summer! I may have to give up doing anything to get them all read. Who needs sleep or food? This week’s pick is a summer release that I am really looking forward to reading. I read the first book last year and really enjoyed it and I was so happy when they announced the second book. I am really hoping this second one is as good as the first.
‘Til Heist Do Us Part by Sara Desai
Publication Date: August 20, 2024
Summary from Goodreads:
Diamond necklaces, billionaires, Mafia bosses, and student loans—it’s all in a day’s work for Simi Chopra and her ragtag heist crew in the next romantic-comedy caper from Sara Desai.
It’s been a year since Simi Chopra’s motley crew pulled off a high-wire diamond necklace heist with the help of sexy rogue Jack Danger. After living it up on the reward money, they’re back where they started, struggling to pay their bills. So when a Chicago Mafia boss demands they return the jewels—plus interest, or else—they need to get the team back together…and fast.
Unfortunately, Simi soon discovers that the necklace is in the hands of Jack’s nemesis, a highly-skilled and supremely vengeful master thief who is not above a little blackmail to get even. (Did Jack really have to piss her off?) Now, the crew is forced into working her con in order to get the necklace back.
As if Simi needed any more complications while trying to rob a billionaire’s mansion, she and Jack are on the rocks, someone else is after her score, and a gorgeous detective is hot on her tail. Simi better be careful or she’ll end up in the less fun kind of handcuffs.
The first book was chock full of all the things I like in a cozy thriller, found family, funny hijinks, snarky dialogue, a little romance, and of a course a high stakes heist. You can read my review of the first book, To Have and to Heist, by clicking on the title.
I hope your week is off to a good start. Do you have any books you are looking forward to reading this summer? Let me know in the comments. Until next time…
Confessions of a Serial Reader 
Hope your week has been great so far too! 🙂 I don’t think I’ve read a book that I’d classify as “cozy thriller” before, and I’m definitely intrigued by the concept. Sounds like a fun series!

I use the term cozy for anything that is light and funny and this series certainly is.😊

I do like a good heist! I have to admit that I watch them on TV more than read them…
Have a great week!
