Another read making it to the top of my recommendation list. An honest, well-written memoir that is eye opening and promotes a need for critical reflection. Now, time to tune into Maid on Netflix!

While not the most well-written or attention grabbing, The Great Believers sincerely tugged on my heart in more ways than one. A dual storyline jumping between Chicago and Paris covering the AIDS crisis in Chicago, love, family, grief, and loss. A slower read but one that is still very much worth it in my opinion. 3.5/5 stars for me 🌟

Louise Penny does it again. The Nature of the Beast ranks high up there as one of my favorites in the series. Excited to keep reading! 📖🤓

#louisepenny #threepines #armandgamache #bookreview

Yes. Yes. Yes. 🤓📖❤️

Hands down, 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟!

A new favorite and one I would recommend to all!

Just want to say thank you to all the #LitsyLove ❤️ I am about 3 weeks behind because this final semester of school is kicking my butt!! I plan to write back soon!!

Eeeeek so excited! 📖 A few chapters in but already knew from chapter 1 that I was going to love it!!

Most recent book haul from my favorite local bookstore. Have you read any?? Super excited to dig into this stack!

My heart is legitimately aching for this read. I loved every word even as I fought back the tears and the anger. An absolute masterpiece without a doubt. Kristin Hannah will forever remain one of my favorite authors 📖💞

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟

I am so very torn. At first, I had nothing but positive and exciting thoughts. But somewhere in the middle, something changed and suddenly I felt as if the author was getting too crazy, trying to fit in too much, and dropping some completely unexpected bombs. Ultimately, I liked this one but felt the writing could have been executed in a more organized fashion.

Note to Self 💞

Any other Kristin Hannah fans out there? I love her books and have been looking forward to this one for so long!

Send all your puppy prayers to my sweet girl, Blair. We had a fun morning planned that turned south when she got stung by a wasp. She is now resting and will probably spend much of the next week resting too 💗🐾

I am slightly, if not, completely obsessed with TJR. What a great read. I loved the dynamics of all Riva siblings and wish I could be sitting amongst them, feeling the family love that is so evident. My only complaint is that I had a small doubt of everything happening in that one, wild night but hey, I‘m definitely not a celebrity so what do I know lol

#MalibuRising #TJR #BookReview

#CurrentlyListening and absolutely enjoying every moment. TJR continues to impress me with her writing. Sitting at about 54% so I‘m looking forward to seeing how it ends 📖

#MalibuRising #TaylorJenkinsReid

I. CANNOT. WAIT. 🤩

Best news ever. The Inspector Armand Gamache mystery series remains one of my favorites and I cannot wait to see it come to life.

#LouisePenny #InspectorArmandGamache

#CurrentlyReading for the #SundayBuddyRead 📖

Really enjoying this one so far! I can honestly say that I love reading fiction books with strong cultural concepts, heritage, traditions, and rituals. It is a great way to encourage understanding and empathy for cultures other than our own. Can‘t wait to keep reading this one.

I feel so very lucky to be part of #litsylove 💞

Thank you @Bookgoil for this!! It has been on my TBR and my friend reminds me constantly that I need to read it so now I can! I appreciate you and the #litsylove fam ❤️

Rating: 3.5 🌟

I will preface this review with saying that this is not my usual genre so I have no way to gauge if it was amazing or not. That being said.. I didn‘t hate it! The first half was a little slow but at about 50% the book really picked up and had me listening, wanting to know how it would end. Overall, a good middle school, fantasy read!

How is everyone doing?

I have been slowly working through No Visible Bruises for a handful of months now. A heavy read but so worth it!

Tonight I picked up Set Boundaries, Find Peace. I intended to start this last month but you know, so many books so little time lol very excited for this one! Happy Reading ❤️

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Okay I have to admit that I switched from kindle book to audiobook after a few chapters because I wasn‘t in the “reading” mood. BUT THIS book right here is amazing and the narrator is fabulous. Hands down, one of my favorites this year. Highly recommend!

UGH my heart is literally gushing!! I thought I was picking up a book about unwanted family secrets riddled with Hollywood drama but instead I found a story of love, romance, family sacrifice, passion, and so much more. A true summer read that kept me up way past my bedtime with zero regrets. I cannot recommend enough!

#bookreview #netgalley #arc #asummertoremember #erikamontgomery

#CurrentlyReading in order to tackle my NetGalley TBR. Sitting at about half way and can honestly say that I am not mad about picking up this read. More thoughts to come 📖❤️

#NetGalley #BookReviews

Seriously!! So. Stinkin. Good. What a fun, light-hearted, comical read with a hint of romance in the air. I read through Dial A for Aunties in one day and don't regret a single moment. The family dynamic is truly hilarious and had me literally laughing out loud. The storyline is a little over the top but honestly I think that just adds to the fun! Plus, Nathan and Meddy are to die for! UGH.

#bookreview #dialaforaunties

After the week I‘ve had, this has put a literal smile on my face and brought so much joy!! Thank you @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks for this sweet surprise 📖💞 I hope you are on your way to feeling better!!

#LitsyLove

#currentlyreading Dial A for Aunties and I‘m obsessed. So far it‘s totally fast paced and comical with a little hint of romance. Can‘t wait to keep reading 🤓📖

Rating: 3 Stars 🌟

Not the worst of the bunch but not the best in my opinion. Good opener with a few heart thumping moments spread throughout. That being said, I found the story to be a bit predictable and the friendship drama was repetitive. Trigger warning of sexual assault.

#ReesesBookClub #BookReview #WeWereNeverThere #AndreaBartz

Another book I hope to finish during the month of August compliments of my sweet Fitz. Fitz is our oldest, only boy of the fur babes, and isn‘t much for cuddles so this picture captured a very precious moment 📖 💞

First of all, this book needs to come with a giant trigger warning. Sensitive topics woven in the timeline that are necessary for the story but very intense to read. I enjoyed the character development and felt that the ending did a good job at tying everything together. Overall, not the best but not the worst.

I love Louise Penny so much but girl, I did not see that ending coming! Penny is so talented in her ability to weave a story together in a way that you never see coming until she‘s ready to reveal it to you. Once again, another very good read!

#louisepenny #thelongwayhome #bookreview

My first post in color because why not 😊

Currently Listening: A Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller. The Reese's Book Club pick for July. Honestly, not sure how I felt about this pick but I'm keeping an open mind.

Any other Reese's Book Club readers?

A new #CurrentRead starting today! 📖 Must say, I am very excited to see where this one goes.

#TheLongWayHome #LouisePenny

New #Currentread + naps + dog cuddles. A lovely Saturday to give my body some much needed R & R.

I‘ve had The Great Believers on my TBR for some time now. Finally sitting down to read it. If you‘ve read it, tell me your thoughts in the comments 📖💗 Happy Saturday!

I. AM. OBSESSED. People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry is a well-written, fast-paced romance that had me literally laughing out loud. I loved bouncing back and forth, reading through the evolving timeline to understand how Poppy and Alex ended up where they were. Their relationship was every bit of amazing that had my heart pumping, both with love and heartache. Highly recommend.

Funny story, last week I tried to mail my #litsylove letters without stamps 🤦🏻‍♀️ Whew let‘s just say it‘s been a busy couple weeks!

Counting the days until my next vacation! Thank goodness for books who take my mind on vacation almost every single day, am I right?! 🏝

Ugh. I really wanted to love this book. I promise I did but something was just off for me. It was a really slow start and then some sections were good and some were boring. But overall the ending was there so I landed on 3 stars.

#reading #bookreviews #themidnightlibrary #matthaig #books

Rating: 5 BEAUTIFUL STARS.

Old friendships. Mother daughter relationships. Drama. Steamy, sexy, romance. Heartache. Invisible disability. Substance abuse. Love.

Just so good. A story that makes you feel every emotion all while making you want to come back for more. Tia Williams is exceptionally talented. Highly recommend.
