Books Read In August 2020

 



All images are from Goodreads.com except the photo for the book The Dilemma by B.A. Paris is from Amazon.

In August, I read 12 books.

The Overdue Life of Amy Byler -Kelly Harms


I really enjoyed this book. I read her other novels this month as well. I loved that the main character was a librarian. The plot, the characters... I loved it all. I rated this book 4 stars on Goodreads.com.

Outsider -Linda Castillo


This is book 12 in the Amish mystery series. This is my favorite book series. I loved this book just as much as all of the other books in the series. I highly recommend this series if you like suspense novels. I rated this book 5 stars.

The Bright Side of Going Dark -Kelly Harms


This is the latest release from Kelly Harms. I enjoyed this book. I loved the characters and their development throughout the book. I rated this book 3 stars.

The Last House Guest -Megan Miranda


I really enjoyed this mystery novel. I want to read her other books now. The mystery in this novel kept me guessing until the very end and I did not expect it to end the way it did. I rated this book 4 stars.

The Dilemma -B.A. Paris

This was another great novel that I read this month. I liked the plot and story line and thought it was really original. This book was a little sad though so keep that in mind if you don't want to read anything sad right now. I rated this book 4 stars.

No Offense -Meg Cabot


Meg Cabot is one of my favorite authors (although I have quite a few). I loved this book so much that I think I read it in one or two days. I loved the story line, the setting (the same as her novel from last year called No Judgements). I highly recommend this novel. I rated it 5 stars.

The Lies That Bind -Emily Giffin


Emily Giffin is another favorite author of mine. I loved this book so much. This book was really sad in some aspects for me because it was based around the events that happened on September 11, 2001. The whole book wasn't about that though so I hope that doesn't turn you off. This is another novel that I highly recommend. I rated this book 5 stars.

In Case You Missed It -Lindsey Kelk


I love Lindsey Kelk and her writing and novels and this novel was no different. I really enjoyed this book even though it was a little predictable. I rated this book 3 stars.

The Good Luck Girls of Shipwreck Lane -Kelly Harms


I had a hard time getting into this novel but once I did, I did enjoy it. I loved the characters and the setting. I rated this book 3 stars.

The Matchmakers of Minnow Bay -Kelly Harms


I really loved this book. The characters, the plot, the setting... I loved it all. I highly recommend this novel. I rated this book 4 stars.

What You Wish For -Katherine Center


This is Katherine Center's latest release. I really loved this book. This book was so enjoyable. I loved the setting, the story line, and especially the characters. I highly recommend this novel as well. I rated this book 5 stars.

Party of Two -Jasmine Guillory


This is the latest release from Jasmine Guillory. I loved this book so much. The characters and the story line are what made me love this book so much. Another book I read this book that I would highly recommend. I rated this book 4 stars.

    1. Thank you so much for the comment. This was the first Megan Miranda book I read and I definitely want to read more. I loved the Katherine Center book. I think my least favorite book of her's was The Lost Husband but I love the Netflix movie. It was one of those rare times when I love the movie more than the book.

  7. The Bright Side of Going Dark sounds curious. I already have a hold on a Katherine Center book from the library - if only I could get caught up enough to read 'for fun.' Thanks for sharing and enjoy your month :)

  9. I liked how Katherine Center co-mingled Joy and grief in What You Wish For. It was a tough subject that she handled well.

    Here are my recent reads, if interested! https://elle-alice.blogspot.com/2020/08/august-book-reviews.html

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.
