My Month Is Booked: March 2026 Edition

 


Never Stop: Life, Leadership, and What It Takes To Be Great -Dan Hurley with Ian O'Conner


My Rating: 4 stars

I really like Dan Hurley, who is the head coach of UConn Men's basketball (I'm not a UConn fan, I'm a Duke fan) and I was so excited to find out he was coming out with a book. I really enjoyed this book and getting a in depth look at his life and his coaching.


Meet Me Under The Lights -Cassie Miller


My Rating: 3.5 stars

This YA novel was really good. I enjoyed it. Goodreads says "My Life with the Walter Boys meets The Notebook in this small town baseball romance perfect for fans of Kasie West and Carley Fortune." I wouldn't compare this novel to The Notebook but I did enjoy it. I also liked that it was dual POV between the female MC and male MC/her love interest.


Finlay Donovan Crosses The Line (Book #6) -Elle Cosimano


My Rating: 4.5 stars

Another great novel in the Finlay Donovan series. I love this series so much. Every book is just so fun and entertaining. It was recently announced that there will be at least three more books in this series and I'm excited for that.

Going for Two (Book #2 in the Chicago Heartbreakers Series) -Ally Wiegand


My Rating: 4 stars

This novel centers on Lottie and Nolan. Amazon says "A headstrong NFL player meets his match in his new no-nonsense physio therapist in this steamy, tension-filled sports romance. " I really enjoyed this novel. Again, I loved the dual POV of the main characters and love interests.

    Dan Hurley's book sounds especially timely after the recent NCAA tournament--he has the recipe for repeated successes, doesn't he?

      Yes, his coaching style is just so good. I was so mad at the end of Duke-UConn but I had a feeling that at halftime when Duke was up by 15 that UConn was going to come back and beat them. I didn't think the game would end with that last possession being like that but I definitely had a feeling UConn was going to end up winning that game. Thank you so much for commenting.

    Aww, it's always so nice to find out that your favorite series is going to get more added to it! I'm dutifully still waiting/hoping that'll happen to Becky Chambers' Monk and Robot series, hehe.
    I need to start the Finlay Donovan series! :]

      One of my all time favorite series is the mystery/thriller Kate Burkholder series from Linda Castillo. The Finlay Donovan series is so good!

Books Read In December 2021 & End of Year Book Survey

  In December, I read 6 books. The first three books I read are apart of a series. The series is called Moose Springs, Alaska by Sarah Morgenthaler. I rated all three of these books 3 stars on the Goodreads website. This was a super cute series. I really enjoyed these books. They were fun, light reads. I think the fourth book in the series comes out in 2021. Book 1: The Tourist Attraction Book 2: Mistletoe & Mr. Right Book 3: Enjoy The View The Holiday Switch -Tif Marcelo I loved this book so much.

  The Code For Love & Heartbreak -Jillian Cantor I saw this book on sale for $10 and thought it looked interesting. It was a cute story line. A little repetitive at places but overall I enjoyed it. I rated it 3 stars on the Goodreads website. When Less Becomes More -Emily Ley I love Emily Ley's books and I had the pleasure of meeting her at one of the Wild For Planners Go Wild Planner conferences. She is super sweet! I really enjoy her personal development books. I rated this book 3 stars. Heartstopper (Volume 4) -Alice Oseman I love this series so much. I love graphic novels and I really wish my library had more of them. I rated this book 4 stars. Bad Moms -Nora McInerny I like this movie (and the sequel A Bad Mom's Christmas) and I saw this at a discount store and I had no idea it was made into a novel. I enjoyed it. It wasn't my favorite book ever since I knew everything that happened since it stuck very close to the movie. I rated it 3 stars. Life, Unscheduled -K...

  Heartstopper (Volume 3) -Alice Oseman While I was back home visiting my family for Christmas, I went to the mall with my dad and my nephews but I've been dealing with some health issues and my pain was really bad that day (and the mall was super crowded) so I ended up sitting in a chair at Barnes & Noble and reading the first two volumes of the Heartstopper series while they were shopping. I like this series. I love graphic novels but my library system doesn't have a lot of the ones I want to read and I will not buy graphic novels because I read them in a day. I rated this book 3 stars. Blame It On The Mistletoe -Beth Garrod I absolutely adored and loved this book so much. The characters, the plot, the setting... I loved it all. I rated this book 5 stars. Adequate Yearly Progress -Roxanna Elden I did not enjoy this book at all. I rated it 1 star. All I Want For Christmas -Wendy Loggia This is another super cute Christmas novel. I wasn't able to get to all of the Chr...
