Books Read in March 2020



Other People's Houses -Abbi Waxman


I loved this book so much. I read Abbi Waxman's other two novels and this one was just as great as the others. I highly recommend reading all three books. This story was told from multiple points of view and I love books like that. I rated this book 5 stars on Goodreads.

The Two Lives of Lydia Bird -Josie Silver


I loved this book so much that I think it will be one of my favorite books of the year. It was quite sad at certain times but I still loved everything about this story. I highly recommend this novel and I rated it 5 stars.

Dare Me -Megan Abbott


I really enjoyed this book. I watched the first season of the TV show based on the book and I knew I wanted to read the book as well. I definitely recommend both watching the first season of the TV show and reading the book. I rated this book 4 stars.

There's Someone Inside Your House -Stephanie Perkins


I was kind of nervous to read this novel because I can't handle really scary things but the book wasn't as scary as I thought it was going to be. For me it felt more like a thrilling mystery but not too gory or anything like that. I rated this book 3 stars.

    I really like Abbi Waxman's books.

    I enjoyed Dare Me as a book but thought the show was so horrible I couldn't watch. They did get the cheerleading part mostly right though, so that was good at least.

      I enjoyed the show but definitely liked the book more. I hope they come out with a second season. Thank you for the comment.

    I loved Other People's Houses so much.

    I did not like Dare Me. I have liked other books by her though.

    The first and last ones are on my TBR, so happy to see more positive reviews for them! I have a Megan Abbott currently sitting on my bookshelf (Give Me Your Hand) so I'll probably read that one first, but I love reading books that turn into TV series or movies so adding this one as well!

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...

  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.
