My Month Is Booked... May 2026 Edition

 



The Anniverary -Alex Finlay


My Rating: 5 stars

Alex Finlay does it again. This mystery novel is so good. I love his writing. "The Anniversary is an utterly compelling story of the hunt for a serial killer. But it’s also a heartfelt—and heartrending—novel about fate, innocence lost, and two souls who find that sometimes being broken is the only way for the light to get in." I highly recommend all of his novels.


To All the Boys I've Loved Before: the Graphic Novel -Barbara Perez Marquez (adapter), Jenny Han, Akimaro (Illustrator), Li Lu (Illustrator)


My Rating: 3.5 stars

This is the graphic novel based on To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han. I thought this graphic novel was so fun.

The summer of Second Chances -K.L. Walther


My Rating: 5 stars

K.L. Walther is one of my favorite young adult authors and this year she came out with two novels. Her writing is so good. I love all of her characters.

This is Me: A Reckoning -Hayden Panettiere


My Rating: 4 stars

Hayden Panettiere is one of my favorite actresses and I was so excited when I found out that she was writing a memoir. I really enjoyed it and I learned a lot about her.

First & Forever -Lynn Painter


My Rating: 5 stars

This is an adult fiction novel from Lynn Painter. She writes both adult fiction novels and young adult novels. Another great novel from Lynn! This novel involves the fake dating trope which is a trope I love.

Student Union (The Undergrads #1) -Julie Murphy


My Rating: 4.5 stars

From Goodreads: From #1 New York Times–bestselling author Julie Murphy comes a sexy rom com about a college marriage of convenience that goes way beyond chemistry 101...The first in a trilogy of romance novels that follows a group of girls as they navigate love, friendship, and new adulthood, this is perfect for fans of Elle Kennedy and Hannah Grace. I loved this novel so much. The two main characters and their storyline were so great and I loved the MC's relationships with their friends. I'm so excited for the second novel in this series which comes later this year.

  1. Aww, I didn't know they turned To All the Boys I've Loved Before into a graphic novel! Definitely a good story for one though--I'll have to check it + Hayden Panettiere's memoir out! :]

  3. How fun to have an author that you love. I don't think I've read any of Alex Finlay's books, but maybe I need to!

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. It was such a cute, fun, and festive read. This is on my list of my favorite books I've read this year. I rated this book 4 stars. The last two books I read this month are also apart of a series. I rated both of them 3 stars. Heartstopper (Volume 1) & Heartstopper (Volume 2) -Alice Oseman Top 10 Favorite Books of the Year: 1.       Malibu Rising –Taylor Jenkins Reid 2.               ...

Books Read in February 2022

  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...
