My Month Is Booked: July 2025 Edition

Here are the books I read in June 2025:

A First Time for Everything –K.L. Walther

My Rating: 5 stars

Another amazing novel from start to finish. I absolutely adore K.L. Walther and her writing. I loved everything about this book and this is definitely one of those books I wish I could read again for the first time.

Atmosphere –Taylor Jenkins Reid

My Rating: 5 stars

Wow, this book was incredible. I enjoyed it so much. I have loved all of Taylor Jenkins Reid novels. A significant part of this story was the relationship between the main character and her niece and I loved that storyline (and the other storylines in the book as well) so much. As an aunt to 10 nephews and nieces, that storyline really touched me.

The It Girl –Ruth Ware

My Rating: 4 stars

This is the first novel I read by Ruth Ware. I really enjoyed it. I totally did not see the ending coming. I definitely want to read more of her books in the future.

Love, Theoretically –Ali Hazelwood

My Rating: 3 stars

I love Ali Hazelwood and her novels but this one wasn’t one of my favorites. I did enjoy it but I wouldn’t re-read it.

Parents Weekend –Alex Finlay

My Rating: 5 stars

This books was so good. I picked it up on a whim because I thought it looked really interesting and I read it in one day. I could not put it down. This is my first time reading a novel by Alex Finlay and I was halfway through this novel when I went and put all of his other books on hold at the library. This story hooked me from the first few chapters. I loved everything about this book and I did not see the ending coming. This book was told in multiple POV’s.

Every Last Fear –Alex Finlay

My Rating: 5 stars

Another amazing novel by Alex Finlay. This was told in multiple POV’s and I love that his books are multiple POV’s. I really love his writing.

What Have We Done –Alex Finlay

My Rating: 4 stars (really 3.5)

While I did not like this novel as much as I loved Parents Weekend & Every Last Fear, I still really liked it. Because of the multiple POV’s, the number of characters, and going back and forth from past to present day, I found it a little hard to keep up with all of the details.

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...
