Books Read in March 2020



Other People's Houses -Abbi Waxman


I loved this book so much. I read Abbi Waxman's other two novels and this one was just as great as the others. I highly recommend reading all three books. This story was told from multiple points of view and I love books like that. I rated this book 5 stars on Goodreads.

The Two Lives of Lydia Bird -Josie Silver


I loved this book so much that I think it will be one of my favorite books of the year. It was quite sad at certain times but I still loved everything about this story. I highly recommend this novel and I rated it 5 stars.

Dare Me -Megan Abbott


I really enjoyed this book. I watched the first season of the TV show based on the book and I knew I wanted to read the book as well. I definitely recommend both watching the first season of the TV show and reading the book. I rated this book 4 stars.

There's Someone Inside Your House -Stephanie Perkins


I was kind of nervous to read this novel because I can't handle really scary things but the book wasn't as scary as I thought it was going to be. For me it felt more like a thrilling mystery but not too gory or anything like that. I rated this book 3 stars.

    I really like Abbi Waxman's books.

    I enjoyed Dare Me as a book but thought the show was so horrible I couldn't watch. They did get the cheerleading part mostly right though, so that was good at least.

      I enjoyed the show but definitely liked the book more. I hope they come out with a second season. Thank you for the comment.

    I loved Other People's Houses so much.

    I did not like Dare Me. I have liked other books by her though.

    The first and last ones are on my TBR, so happy to see more positive reviews for them! I have a Megan Abbott currently sitting on my bookshelf (Give Me Your Hand) so I'll probably read that one first, but I love reading books that turn into TV series or movies so adding this one as well!

I babysat for my best friend's adorable daughter while they were at a wedding and we had so much fun. We played with blocks, read (including one book like 15 times), watched movies and cuddled, and played with toys. I did some shopping (both online and in person). I had a bestie day with her and her kiddos. We went shopping and had Chick Fil A for lunch. I've been filming and uploading videos for my YT channel. What I'm Dreading... Nothing at the moment.
