A Very Lucky Girl

It's a new year and I have new book goals! I'm so excited for all the adventures I'll be taking between the pages of a book from the comfort of my couch. December was busy with parties, wrapping presents, etc., but I still made time for my happiest pasttime.  Source Ghosted by Rosie Walsh 5 stars This was one of those novels that raises question after question until all I had was questions and I wondered if this author would ever provide any answers!! It didn’t frustrate me, but rather raised the intrigue factor. Girl meets boy and it’s love after a mere 6 days. Except then boy disappears and girl doesn’t know if he’s in danger, dead, or is just a prick. It kept me guessing until the very last pages and I almost feel like I need to reread it knowing what I know now after the ending. It’s Not Okay: Turning Heartbreak into Happily Ever After By Andi Dorfman 2 stars I have a confession: I didn’t watch Andi Dorfman’s season of the Bachelorette. To be f...

This November I was extra thankful for my Kindle! Between spatchcocking turkeys and trimming the Christmas tree, I still made time to read 21 books and there are several 5 star contenders among the group. Add some of these to your Christmas list ASAP! this meme was SO TRUE this month too, y'all. All of the feels!! The Summer Wives by Beatriz Williams 4 stars I really enjoyed The Secret Life of Violet Grant by Beatriz, so I had high hopes for The Summer Wives . For the most part, she delivered. The timeline was more difficult to follow as it hopped between decades, but it didn’t take long to catch on. The secrets were jaw-dropping and the ending was satisfying. Bear in mind, this book is long with a capital L! You Knew Me When by Emily Liebert (audio) 3 stars This story passed the time on neighborhood walks and house cleaning rounds, but it certainly wasn’t spell-binding. Frankly, I found the feud that drove the plot fairly silly, but the inviting charac...

Pinterest Winter is a bookworm's dream because there is literally NO GOOD REASON not to be inside by a fire with a book or seven. Therefore, I will be thriving for the next four or five months. Without further ado, check out what stories caught my attention and which ones you should skip! Sweet Little Lies by Caz Frear  4 stars This is Frear’s first novel and I’m certain it won’t be her last. I don’t know what it is about these suspense stories set in England that get my imagination going, but this one did not disappoint. A strong female lead with just enough foibles to make her human, Cat’s search to find the culprit of a murder had me making and rejecting my own hypotheses several times over. Personally, I needed just a little more wrap up at the end, which is why SLL fell just one star short of a perfect rating. A Spark of Light by Jodi Picoult 4 stars This story is especially timely in the wake of the #MeToo movement and mass shootings sweeping th...
