My Month Is Booked: August 2024 Edition

 

Here are the books I read in July 2024:


Vacationland –Meg Mitchell Moore

My Rating: 4 stars

This story focuses on two women and how their lives interconnect in an unexpected way. I really enjoyed this book. I love this author's writing.

 

The Islanders –Meg Mitchell Moore

My Rating: 4 stars

This book focuses on the story of three people: Anthony Puckett, Joy Sousa, and Lu Trusdale. Goodreads says “Over the twelve short weeks of summer, these three strangers will meet and grow close, will share secrets and bury lies. And as the promise of June turns into the chilly nights of August, the truth will come out, forcing each of them to decide what they value most, and what they are willing to give up to keep it.” I really enjoyed this book. I have three more books to read of this author and then I will have read all of her books that have been published so far.

 

One summer on Mackinac –Alana Robin

My Rating: 5 stars

This novel focuses on Ariella and her last summer before she goes off to college. She ends up working on Mackinac Island in Michigan. I loved this story so much and this is the author’s debut novel. I can’t wait to read more of her work. This book also had me wanting to visit Mackinac Island so bad! I just looked up pictures on Google and it looks absolutely stunning.

 

The Burning –Linda Castillo

My Rating: 5 stars

This is the 16th novel in the Kate Burkholder series. I love this series so much and I devour each novel.  These novels are told from the point of view of Kate Burkholder, formerly Amish, who is the Chief of Police in the town she was raised. I cannot rave enough about this Amish mystery series.

 

The Summer Pact –Emily Giffin

My Rating: 4 stars

I think this is the first Emily Giffin I didn’t love from start to finish. I didn’t like two of the main characters that much until the end of the book. I did like the other main character a lot. I loved that this book focused on friendships. I also enjoyed the ending. If Goodreads had a half rating system, I would have given this book 3.5 stars instead of 4.

 

The Summer Club –Hannah McKinnon

My Rating: 5 stars

Another fabulous novel from Hannah McKinnon. I love her novels so much. This story was told from three different POV’s. I loved the relationship between all of the characters and being able to hear 3 POV’s throughout the novel. The setting in this book was so fun and I loved reading all of the descriptions and I could picture it clearly in my mind. I posted on IG about this book and the author and I chatted through DM’s for a little bit and it was a lovely time. I highly recommend reading this book and all of Hannah McKinnon’s novels.

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...
