Books Read in January 2019


In January, I re-read two Christmas novels that I had previously read and loved and wanted to re-read. I also read one new Christmas novel as well. All of my Christmas books are put away now until next November/December.


My True Love Gave To Me: Twelve Holiday Stories


I loved this book when I first read it and knew I wanted to re-read it every year at Christmas time. I didn't get a chance to read this one in December so it was my first read of January. I still loved the book just as much as when I first read it. I rated it 5 stars on Goodreads.

Scenes From A Holiday -Laurie Graff, Caren Lissner, Melanie Murray



Another holiday themed re-read that I loved. It has three seasonal stories (one Christmas themed, one Hanukkah themed, and one New Year's themed) from three different authors. I rated this book 4 stars on Goodreads.

I'll Be Home For Christmas -Karen Clarke


I enjoyed this book so much. The setting, the theme, the characters. I highly recommend it. I rated it 3 stars on Goodreads.

What was your favorite book that you read in January? What are you currently reading?

    I read Scenes from a Holiday years ago and enjoyed it. I love reading holiday books in December.

      Me too! I usually read some in November and January too because I'm all about the holiday reads. Thank you for your comment.

    I read My True Love Gave to Me when it came out and enjoyed it. I still have the summer anthology to check out.

    I got all excited and started holiday novels in mid-fall. By December, I was ready for spring! LOL Looks like some cute books - maybe I'll catch them next season :)

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...

Books Read in January 2022

  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...

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.               ...
