Books Read in April 2022

 


I didn't pick up my first book this month until April 13 but I still managed to read 5 books this month.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo -Taylor Jenkins Reid (4 stars)


I really loved this book. Taylor Jenkins Reid is one of my favorite authors. I haven't read a book of hers that I didn't love so far. I highly recommend this author and her novel

The rest of the books I read this month are all written by Julie Murphy.

If the Shoe Fits -Julie Murphy (4 stars)


This book is the first novel in the Meant To Be series which takes Disney fairytales and makes this into modern day stories. This book focused on the Cinderella storyline. I loved this book so much.

Dumplin' -Julie Murphy (3 stars)


I loved this book. It was so fun and unique. It is a movie on Netflix and I'm going to watch that too.

Dear Sweet Pea (Dumplin' 2.5) -Julie Murphy (3 stars)


This is a cute and fast story. It made me a little sad but it was still good.

Ramona Blue -Julie Murphy (3 stars)


This was a really good novel and I really enjoyed it. I really took a deep down into Julie Murphy's novels after reading If The Shoe Fits.

      I haven't watched the movie yet but I'm excited too. I just finished reading Pumpkin which is the third book in the Dumplin' "series". I hope you enjoy those books as much as I did.

    I just finished reading If The Shoe Fits today. It was such a cute, modern, and creative adaptation of the classic Cinderella story. I liked it alot!

      I thought it was so good! I'm going to be reading By The Book soon which is by Jasmine Guillory and is inspired by the fairytale of Beauty and the Beast.

    I actually liked the movie Dumplin more than the book! I need to read Evelyn Hugo.

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...
