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.

    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...
