My Month is Booked: January 2026 Edition

 



One Christmas Morning –Rachel Greenlaw

My Rating: 4 stars

My mom saw this book in a store for me and thought I would like it and she was right. The main character is stuck repeating the same day in the body/mind of different women in her life. I really enjoyed this concept.

 

Once Upon a Holidate –Susan Mallery

My Rating: 4 stars

I didn’t know this was the 6th book in the series when I picked it up but I think the only thing I missed was the backstory of the other secondary characters in this book. This includes three POV’s… Wynn Beauchene, Garrick McCabe, and Garrick’s grown daughter. I loved this book a-lot.

 

Anatomy of an Alibi –Ashley Elston

My Rating: 5 stars

This novel is so good, I could not put it down! I loved everything about it. This was a great thriller/mystery. If you loved First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston, I highly recommend this novel as well. I loved the dual POV’s in this novel.

 

Heart Life Music –Kenny Chesney

My Rating: 4 stars

Kenny Chesney is one of my singers. I loved this novel and getting to hear about how some of his songs were created and all the behind the scenes of trying to make it in the music business.

      Thank you so much for reading and commenting. It's very good! I really enjoyed. It will definitely end up as one of my top favorite books of the year. I usually pick 15 of my favorite books for the year and then 5 honorable mentions.

    Yay, thanks for linking up! I've heard great things about Anatomy of an Alibi and it's on my holds on Libby right now -- can't wait til it becomes available (just another 11 weeks left, haha)!

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.               ...

  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...

  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...
