Books Read in April 2022

 


I didn't pick up my first book this month until April 13 but I still managed to read 5 books this month.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo -Taylor Jenkins Reid (4 stars)


I really loved this book. Taylor Jenkins Reid is one of my favorite authors. I haven't read a book of hers that I didn't love so far. I highly recommend this author and her novel

The rest of the books I read this month are all written by Julie Murphy.

If the Shoe Fits -Julie Murphy (4 stars)


This book is the first novel in the Meant To Be series which takes Disney fairytales and makes this into modern day stories. This book focused on the Cinderella storyline. I loved this book so much.

Dumplin' -Julie Murphy (3 stars)


I loved this book. It was so fun and unique. It is a movie on Netflix and I'm going to watch that too.

Dear Sweet Pea (Dumplin' 2.5) -Julie Murphy (3 stars)


This is a cute and fast story. It made me a little sad but it was still good.

Ramona Blue -Julie Murphy (3 stars)


This was a really good novel and I really enjoyed it. I really took a deep down into Julie Murphy's novels after reading If The Shoe Fits.

      I haven't watched the movie yet but I'm excited too. I just finished reading Pumpkin which is the third book in the Dumplin' "series". I hope you enjoy those books as much as I did.

    I just finished reading If The Shoe Fits today. It was such a cute, modern, and creative adaptation of the classic Cinderella story. I liked it alot!

      I thought it was so good! I'm going to be reading By The Book soon which is by Jasmine Guillory and is inspired by the fairytale of Beauty and the Beast.

    I actually liked the movie Dumplin more than the book! I need to read Evelyn Hugo.

  What We're Eating This Week... Monday: Leftovers (meatloaf) Tuesday: Chick Fil A Wednesday: Pizza I'm not sure about the rest of the week. What I'm Reminiscing About... When the Mets were in the World Series in 2015! What I'm Loving...

I babysat for my best friend's adorable daughter while they were at a wedding and we had so much fun.
