My Month is Booked: October 2023



First Down (Beyond the Play #1) –Grace Reilly

My Rating: 4 stars

A romance novel that centers on sports? Sign me up! The sport in this book is football. I love the relationship between the two main characters and I love that both of their POV’s were in the book.

Breakaway (Beyond the Play #2) –Grace Reilly

My Rating: 3 stars

The sport featured in this book is hockey. I enjoyed this book but the one thing I didn’t like was that I felt like there were so many more sex scenes compared to the first novel in this series. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind some sex scenes in books but I felt like there was too many of them in this book. Still, I did enjoy the relationship between the two main characters like I did in the first novel of this series.

Stealing Home (Beyond the Play #3) –Grace Reilly

My Rating:

The sport featured in this book is baseball. I enjoyed this book. I like this series.

All That’s Left to Say –Emery Lord

My Rating: 4 stars

I liked this book. I felt like it was different (not in a bad way) from her other books because of the mystery element to the story. I really love Emery Lord and her writing style.

Love Me Do –Lindsey Kelk

My Rating: 5 stars

Another fabulous novel from Lindsey Kelk. I loved the characters in this story. I love Lindsey’s style of writing.

The Walk off –Megan Cousins (Wild Pitches #4)

My Rating: 5 stars

This is the fourth final novel in the Wild Pitches series and I loved it so much. I love this series and I will definitely re-read it again in the future.

Birdie & Harlow: Life, Loss, and Loving My Dog So Much I Didn't Want Kids (…Until I Did) –Taylor Wolfe

My Rating: 4 stars

Book warning (no warning for my review): pet sickness and pet loss

I knew this book was going to be hard for me to read at some parts and I was right. At those parts I knew would be hard, I could barely see the words in front of me through my tears. I did love this book though. Taylor Wolfe is a blogger and influencer that I’ve been following for years so I knew some of what she was going to write about in this book from her blog posts. Taylor truly put into words how much we love our fur-babies and are devoted to them. I really hope Taylor writes more books in the future.

    I haven't heard of Emory Lord but I'll have to check out her books! Definitely going to read Birdie & Harlow too (although also dreading in a way -- I lost my childhood cat a couple years ago and I still tear up whenever I think of her. :[ )

      I hope you enjoy her books. I had to put my baby girl cat Pumpkin down last year due to her being so sick with mammary cancer and I'm still gutted and heartbroken and I miss her everyday.

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...

Books Read In December 2021 & End of Year Book Survey

  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. I think the fourth book in the series comes out in 2021. Book 1: The Tourist Attraction Book 2: Mistletoe & Mr. Right Book 3: Enjoy The View The Holiday Switch -Tif Marcelo I loved this book so much. It was such a cute, fun, and festive read. This is on my list of my favorite books I've read this year. I rated this book 4 stars. The last two books I read this month are also apart of a series. I rated both of them 3 stars. Heartstopper (Volume 1) & Heartstopper (Volume 2) -Alice Oseman Top 10 Favorite Books of the Year: 1.       Malibu Rising –Taylor Jenkins Reid 2.               ...
