Books Read in November 2021

 



No Words -Meg Cabot


Another great novel from Meg Cabot. I love her adult novels, just as much as I love her Ya novels. I rated this book 4 stars on the Goodreads website.

Apples Never Fall -Liane Moriarty


I love Liane Moriarty's books but this was definitely a miss for me. I felt that the book was dragged out, the storyline was very weird and I just didn't like it. I rated it 2 stars.

A Season for Second Chances -Jenny Bayliss



I enjoyed this book. I didn't like it as much as her first novel but it was still good. I liked the characters a-lot. I rated it 3 stars.

One Family Christmas -Bella Osborne


While this book wasn't my favorite, it was still a fun read. I love reading Christmas and holiday themed novels. I rated this book 2 stars.

So, This Is Christmas -Tracy Andreen


I really enjoyed this book. I loved the characters and the storyline and I highly recommend it if you love Christmas themed books. I rated this book 4 stars.

    I never seem to read Christmas novels but I spend every December admiring the covers in the posts of those who do!

    I thought Apples Never Fall could have been sped up tremendously and found myself questioning the last few chapters and their point entirely.... however, I did like the basic storyline/premise.

      I agree with this whole statement about the book, Joanne. You summed up my feelings perfectly.

    I love reading Christmas books especially during the festive season :)
    Apples Never Fall sounds interesting but I cannot do a slow moving book - had a few this year :(

      Me too. I love them all so much. Yes, it was very slow moving. It was probably my least favorite Liane Moriarty novel. I highly recommend her other novels though.

    I'm not a huge fan of Moriarty's books so the fact that you didn't like this one makes feel better, especially if it's slow moving. I can't do that right now.

      I think if I remember correctly, I loved all of her other books. This book was a big disappointment though!

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...
