KelliLeave a comment

I feel like I blinked, the first of June, and now it is already the 30th. This past month has been challenging, but also fun too. Between working in the cafe and working in the garden, I have been so exhausted. Despite that, I had time to read, watch tv and have fun! Below is more on that.

Favorite book I read:

Give Me More by Sara Cate

This book is S P I C Y, and I LOVED IT. Personally, I would never want to be in a poly relationship, but I did love reading about it. This is the third book of this series, and Sara Cate has written another good one. She makes you love the characters. I am ready for the next one.

Other books I read:

  • Some Things I Still Can’t Tell You: Poems by Misha Collins
  • Falling By T.J. Newman
  • Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies: And Other Rituals to Fix Your Life, from Someone Who’s Been There by Tara Schuster
  • The Tenant by Freida McFadden
  • Rock Chick by Kristen Ashley

All of these were so good!

Some other favorites I had this month:

  • Favorite new place I ate: A1 Pizza
  • Favorite TV show: Love Island (USA)
  • Favorite purchase: Sandels
  • Favorite past time: Reading & gaming
  • Favorite song: Vienna by Billy Joel
  • Favorite YouTube Channel: Carly Incontro

Books Read in January & February

Hi! I am behind on my monthly book blog, but I am here now! In January and February, I have read 5 books in total. So far this year every book I have finished, I have throughly enjoyed! I recommend all 5 of these books.

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schwab ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book is the first one I finished in 2024. I do have to say out of all of them this was my least favorite book, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless. I don’t really like how it would bounce between time periods, but at the same time, that’s part of what makes the book. It was a beautiful story.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K Rowling ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a reread for me. I like to try and reread the Harry Potter series every so often. It has been a long time since I have done a full reread (I usually stop after book 4), but I hope to read through the rest of them this year. This one and the rest of the series always makes me cry so it’s hard to read them, but I love getting lost in the pages. The movies left out a lot of the story. Some of the most important parts in my opinion.

I Will Find You by Harlan Coben ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am so glad that this book was recommended to me! It was a very interesting read. Fast paced – which I love. It’s about a guy who was put into prison for murdering his son… except he didn’t. We end up going on a journey with him as he breaks out of prison. This is the first time I’ve ever read a book by this author, but I will definitely read another.

We Used to Live Here by Daniel Hurst ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Some people bought this house, and they were finding strange things while remodeling… I did not expect the ending of this book at all. To me it was definitely a twist that almost made me mad. The ending made me want more to the story.

Book Lovers by Emily Henry ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I listened to the audiobook of this one, and enjoyed it so much. It was a cute little read that’s like a hallmark movie cliche. It had the whole uptight person visiting a small town and falling in love.

Final note

I am very happy with what books I have read so far. For 2024, I have made the reading goal to read 50 books this year. According to my Goodreads, I am 3 books behind, but I think it will all workout in the end. Last year I started reading several books at once, and I usually finishing them all around the same time. In the next few weeks, I plan to post my 2024 tbr, which has 54 books on it. And yes, I know my goal is to read 50 books, but sometimes it’s hard to choose what books I want to read!

What book(s) are you reading right now? Have you read any of the ones I’ve read in January and February?
