Books Read in October 2020

 


In October, I read three books.

The Captain: A Memoir -David Wright


My favorite athlete (who unfortunately had to retire early due to a serious back issue) wrote a book and I was so excited to get my hands on it. I loved it so much. It was so interesting to learn more about him and get to see his insights on various seasons and other things. If you're a David Wright or Mets fan, or even just a baseball fan in general, I highly recommend this book. I rated it 5 stars on Goodreads.com

Didn't See That Coming -Rachel Hollis


It wasn't my favorite book by her but I still enjoyed it and would recommend it. I rated this book 3 stars.

The Twelve Dates of Christmas -Jenny Bayliss


This novel was super cute and adorable. I really enjoyed it. This is the author's debut novel and I'm excited to see what she comes out with next. If you like Christmas themed novels, I highly recommend this one. I rated it 4 stars.

    DAVID WRIGHT HAS A BOOK?! I miss him on the field.

    I'm not sure if you read it or not, but R.A. Dickey has a great book, too.

      Yes, it's so good. Girl, I miss seeing him on the field every day! It still breaks my heart that he couldn't have the career he wanted. The day his book released, I went and purchased it. I knew he had a book but my library doesn't have it.

      Thank you! It was good. It wasn't my favorite Christmas themed novel I've ever read but it was still really good and I recommend it.

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...

  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.
