Once the greatest tennis player in the world, Carrie comes out of retirement at 37 when another player is poised to break her record number of Grand Slam titles. Carrie isn‘t always likable, but I rooted for her. Whether or not you‘re a tennis fan, this book is well done, and I loved the ending. I also enjoyed the references to Malibu Rising and Daisy Jones and the Six!

Margaritas are my favorite cocktail. My husband makes a mean marg…he learned how for me! 🤣 I usually drink them with no salt but if I‘m feeling saucy while I‘m out somewhere, I‘ll order with salt. My favorite chocolate covered snack is pretzels because I like a sweet and salty combo. Thankfully, there are some gluten-free options on the market!

I have a busy weekend planned, so I‘m keeping my #20in4 goals loose…want to finish my current read, Carrie Soto Is Back, and just start on the other two!

This is Max at almost one year old. I rolled out my yoga mat to practice but he made himself comfortable on it when I turned my back to light a candle. 🤣
Max will be 7 this summer and he‘s a crazy boy but sweet too!

Aidan MacTaggart left Scotland for a fresh start and is on a mission to find a wife in Chicago. Enter Calli Douglas, a woman definitely not looking for love. Aidan is immediately smitten, as is Calli, though she tries to fight it. Their attraction grows, but both are hiding secrets that can threaten their happiness. Plenty of steam in this one!

I‘ve never read this before, and I‘m glad I have now. There‘s some wonderful storytelling here, though it is long. I can see why it‘s a classic! The ending was sad but beautiful, and satisfying.

Happy first day of spring!! 🌷🌼🌱

I really enjoyed this collection of short stories! And how cute is that cover? Usually in a short story collection, there‘s at least a couple that I dont “get” or don‘t like, but that wasn‘t the case here. I especially enjoyed the last story - very clever!

Happy St. Patrick‘s Day! Hope all who are celebrating have a great day! ☘️☘️☘️

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would! Things set in medieval times usually aren‘t my jam, but this one had great characters and a decent amount of steam. And this could be classified as an enemies-to-lovers romance, which is my favorite trope!

#marvellousmarch was a smashing success! I wanted to read all these books and I did. I love it when things go according to plan! 😁

So cute! Cara travels to Dublin, albeit with a broken heart, and meets a handsome Irishman, Finn, right away. A couple nights later, fueled by too much whiskey and the Irish tradition of women proposing on Leap day, Cara pops the question to Finn. Now Cara, who never does anything without planning, has to sort out this situation! This was just a lot of fun! ☘️

I learned some Irish history that I didn‘t already know, plus other more fun tidbits, such as Irish slang and cuisine. A good read if you‘re interested in learning about Ireland. ☘️

Love this series! It‘s pure, over-the-top fun! The characters are great (I especially love Vero) and the relationships have built up and grown over the course of the series.

This is a collection of 15 short stories, and as is usually the case with me, there were some that I really liked and some that I just didn‘t get. This was my first Joyce and I am glad I read it!

Back in the day, I devoured all of John Grisham‘s legal thrillers, so this was a reread. Still enjoyed it!

This was so much fun! A short listen full of history, trivia, and fun facts about Ireland and the Irish. I learned things I didn‘t know before! ☘️☘️☘️

For #MarvellousMarch, my goals are to read these books! ☘️☘️☘️

I really enjoyed this one! The timeline alternates between Laura in 1913 and Sadie in 1993, but their stories are seamlessly woven together. In both, rare and valuable books are stolen from the NYC Public Library. Sadie believes that what is happening is connected somehow to the events of 1913, and she sets out to find the truth behind the burglaries.

February was a fabulous reading month! 19 books read/listened to! There were only 2 that I didn‘t really enjoy - Text For You and The Phantom of the Opera - but not all will be winners. Hoping March will be good to me too!

#februarywrapup

At the beginning of the month, these were the books I had prioritized to read for #loveathon2023. I‘m happy to say I read them all! 🥳

The premise of this book is really good but somehow the execution fell flat for me. I can‘t really pinpoint why, but I was mostly bored.

This was a really cute Valentine‘s novella!

This novella isn‘t in the database, but it was really cute, and the audio production was fantastic! Two classical pianists, newly engaged, have to compete against each other in the biggest competition in their field. Things get a bit strained!

I got behind again on the #loveathon2023 prompts, so I‘m catching up.

This #firstlove romance is on my kindle, still unread! It sounds really cute though!

#loveathon

I saw a stage production of this years ago and really loved it, but the book was just so-so. Maybe it was the audiobook narration? I‘m not sure, but at any rate, I‘m glad I read it!
