I’m excited for all of the books I plan on reading this year. I’m starting the year off reading The Wife upstairs and it’s not what I expected and I’m so into it.
I didn’t read much in December but I read such great books to make up for it.

I am excited for this new year, I never imagined a place where I can talk about books and share my thoughts and love of books with other people. I can’t wait to see what books you guys read and enjoy!
What a year this has been. But I’m grateful for books and all of you here in this space. Talking about books and reading really made 2020 less stressful.
I read some great books and some not so great books this year. I also acquired a long list of books that I’ll have to read thanks to all of you 😂😂
These are my favorite books of the year. One is missing it’s on my kindle. My list is as follows:
• Becoming by Michelle Obama- She’s just amazing.
• A Spell For Trouble by Esme Addison -Cant wait for the next book in the series
• A Good Neighborhood- So many emotions and that ending is still with me.
• Beach Read by Emily Henry – I loved everything about this one
• Anxious People by Fredrik Backman- so well written
• In A Holidaze by Christina Lauren -it was so cute and I’m a sucker for anything holiday related
• The Year Shakespeare Ruined My Life by – My first YA read and I really enjoyed it
• Charming Falls Apart by – This was a wonderful read, is now one of my favorite authors
I’m excited for all the books I plan on reading in 2021. I have enough books that I am going to continue my no buy ban. Unless bookstagram makes me have to break that 😂😂😂.
My last book of 2020 was The Tourist Attraction by Sara Morgenthaler.
Synopsis: When Gram Barnett named his diner The Tourist Trap, he meant it as a joke. Now he’s singing reindeer dogs to an endless parade of resort visitors who he couldn’t be bothered with. Two weeks in Alaska is the top item for Zoey Caldwells bucket list. An act of kindness brings Zoey into Grams world and she finds there more to the grumpy local than meets the eye.
I absolutely enjoyed this book so much! It was a great read to finish the year with. It gave me all the feels. Do I think it was predictable, yes did I enjoy that, absolutely. I felt like this was a hallmark movie but in boom form. It gave me romance, comedy and at some points I said “I knew that would happen”. This was a total booksta made me do it and I have no regrets. I didn’t realize this was a series so now I’ll have to read the others to see what happens next with these crazy kids!
I get so excited getting book mail, it’s the best type of mail in my opinion. 😂
I received a copy of Be Dazzled by Ryan La Sala and the cover is adorable. It’s simple but I think it’s beautifully done.
This sounds like a great read and I can’t wait to dive in. Be Dazzled is an epic, queer love story about creativity, passion, and finding the courage to be your most authentic self.
I’m excited to be apart of the #WRC2021, where I get to read these amazing books!
Happy day after Christmas! Going to work today was tough, I was so full and tired from yesterday. But it wasn’t as hectic as I thought it would be.
I finished this gem a few days ago and I really enjoyed it. I can see why In A Holidaze was all over bookstagram. It’s such a cute read.
Since I’m sure you’ve seen this one all week I will keep this review short and sweet. And if you haven’t I encourage you to give this one a try.
Synopsis : It the most wonderful time of the year…. but not for Maelyn Jones. She’s living with her parents , hates her job and has mad a romantic error of epic proportions. This may also be Maes last year at her favorite place where she and her family have spent the holidays since she was born.
Review: I really enjoyed the ground hogs day vibe this book had. I also found Maelyn very relatable and rooted for her to get what she wanted. This book also made me laugh and have all the feels which was great to read before Christmas. I was happy with the ending of the story, in a way it left me wanting more and I like that in a book. This is my first book from this author and I can not wait to read more .
Happy Thursday!! I feel like this has been a very popular book on bookstagram and I’ve been so excited to read it. There were other books I needed to read before I got to it. I’m slowly knocking down my tbr and I’m so proud of myself! I don’t know when my list got out of control but it did and I don’t have any regrets 😂😂😂 so many great books on my list lol. I have one more book left on my list for this month so hopefully I can read it before the mont ends. 😊 Have a great week guys! 💕💕
After taking a book hiatus..( very unplanned) I finished home before dark over the weekend!
This is my first Riley Sager book and I enjoyed all the twist and turns he threw at me. I saw this book all over the gram and figured it would be the perfect october book to read and wasn’t disappointed.
Synopsis:
I liked how the book told the story of the present and the past it gave so much perspective and intrigue to the story. Again the twists and turns really got me, right when I think I’ve solved the mystery and it’s over something happens to throw that theory into the trash. I also enjoyed that even though it was a thriller the main character kind of ended her story on a happy note sort of (besides the stuff with her mom). As someone who gets startled by her own shadow I felt that this book wasn’t as scary 👻 as I’d pictured. I can’t wait to read more by Riley
Wow 😯 this book is… I don’t think I can describe it in one word.
I just finished The Night Swim by Megan Goldin
Synopsis: After the first season of her true crime podcast became an overnight sensation and set an innocent man free, Rachel Krall is now a household name.But she’s used to being recognised for her voice, not her face. Which makes it all the more unsettling when she finds a note on her car windshield, addressed to her, begging for help. The small town of Neapolis is being torn apart by a devastating rape trial. The town’s golden boy, a swimmer destined for Olympic greatness, has been accused of raping a high school student, the beloved granddaughter of the police chief.
😡🤬🤯☹️😭 (these sum up all of my feelings about this book.
Besides the the topic being rape I really enjoyed this book. The mystery of putting together all of the pieces and wondering what really happened was enjoyable. The story of both women is very gut wrenching but I liked how it switches between two women with similar experiences that will be forever linked to a small town. The ending threw me for a loop. If you’ve been thinking about adding this to your TBR and don’t mind heavy topics such as rape and suicide then I suggest picking this one up.
