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...

What's Up Wednesday: October 2024 Edition

  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... Spending time with family, spending time with my best friend and her kiddos, watching sports (my nephew's football games, baseball, NFL, college football), Hallmark movies. What I've Been Up... 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. What I'm Working On... My content schedule for November-January for m...

What's Up Wednesday: January 2025 Edition

  What We're Eating This Week... Monday: Pizza Tuesday: Caesar Salad Wednesday: Fajitas Thursday: Baked ziti Friday: Leftovers I'm not sure about Saturday & Sunday What I'm Reminiscing About... I have been looking at photos of my nieces and nephews from when they were younger and thinking of all the special memories we shared. What I'm Loving... I've been loving all the football. I really wanted the Buffalo Bills to make it into the Superbowl but sadly they did not. I've also been loving: reading, cuddles with my cats, filming for my Youtube channel, watching my nephew Nicky's basketball games (on streaming). What I've Been Up To... My mom had surgery on her foot so I've been taking care of her. I've also been watching lots of movies, TV shows, and sports. My niece came home from college for a weekend and we went to the bookstore and had coffee there and got some books. I purchased some books for myself and two books for my niece. Credit: Pip...
