Books Read in August 2023 (My Month Is Booked Link-Up)

 


                                                    Talking at Night –Claire Daverley

My Rating: 3 stars

I saw that one of my favorite authors loved this book which is a debut novel and I decided to give it a shot. I really liked the relationship between the two main characters. One thing I did not like about this book was that the conversations did not have quotes “ around them. I found that frustrating.

 

Summer Stage –Meg Mitchell Moore

My Rating: 4 stars

I really love Meg Mitchell Moore’s writing. This book was told from three different POV’s and it was so good.


The Captain’s Daughter –Meg Mitchell Moore

My Rating: 4 stars

Another great read from Meg Mitchell Moore. This book was very sad at some parts but overall it was a really great book. I really love her style of writing and I can’t wait to read the rest of her novels.

 

We Ship It –Lauren Kay

My Rating: 3 stars

This book centered on a very academic and strict rule following teenager who doesn’t want to go on a cruise with her family during summer but ultimately ends up having a pretty good time.

 

Cruel summer –Morgan Elizabeth

My Rating: 4 stars

This book was the second novel in the Seasons of Revenge series. I enjoyed this novel much more than the 1st one in the series.

 

What Happens After Midnight –K.L. Walther

My Rating: 4 stars

Another fantastic novel from K.L. Walther. I love her style of writing. I always love her characters as well.

 

Tilly in Technicolor –Mazzy Eddings

My Rating: 4 stars

I loved that the two main characters in this novel are both Neurodivergent. I love the relationship between the two main characters.

 

The summer List –Ginger Walls

My Rating: 3 stars

This was a cute summer themed story. I really like the relationship between the two main characters.

 

Left Field Love –C.W. Farnsworth

My Rating: 5 stars

I love this book so much. I really love everything about this book: the characters, the setting, and the storyline. Spoiler: this book is on my list of my favorite books I’ve read this year.

    I really enjoyed Summer Stage too but hadn't heard of The Captain's Daughter.

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...

What's Up Wednesday: October 2024 Edition

  What We're Eating This Week... Monday: Leftovers (meatloaf) Tuesday: Chick Fil A Wednesday: Pizza I'm not sure about the rest of the week. What I'm Reminiscing About... When the Mets were in the World Series in 2015! What I'm Loving... Spending time with family, spending time with my best friend and her kiddos, watching sports (my nephew's football games, baseball, NFL, college football), Hallmark movies. What I've Been Up... I babysat for my best friend's adorable daughter while they were at a wedding and we had so much fun. We played with blocks, read (including one book like 15 times), watched movies and cuddled, and played with toys. I did some shopping (both online and in person). I had a bestie day with her and her kiddos. We went shopping and had Chick Fil A for lunch. I've been filming and uploading videos for my YT channel. What I'm Dreading... Nothing at the moment. What I'm Working On... My content schedule for November-January for m...

What's Up Wednesday: January 2025 Edition

  What We're Eating This Week... Monday: Pizza Tuesday: Caesar Salad Wednesday: Fajitas Thursday: Baked ziti Friday: Leftovers I'm not sure about Saturday & Sunday What I'm Reminiscing About... I have been looking at photos of my nieces and nephews from when they were younger and thinking of all the special memories we shared. What I'm Loving... I've been loving all the football. I really wanted the Buffalo Bills to make it into the Superbowl but sadly they did not. I've also been loving: reading, cuddles with my cats, filming for my Youtube channel, watching my nephew Nicky's basketball games (on streaming). What I've Been Up To... My mom had surgery on her foot so I've been taking care of her. I've also been watching lots of movies, TV shows, and sports. My niece came home from college for a weekend and we went to the bookstore and had coffee there and got some books. I purchased some books for myself and two books for my niece. Credit: Pip...
