Happy Tuesday Girls!
Hope you've all had a great start to the week!
Back in the summer when my kiddos were up with their dad, I read two books. I had stopped reading for years, and I read two books in July, and realized how much I really did love reading! I didn't read at all during the fall, we got crazy busy with our sudden move, and well then it was the holidays...and well you know how it goes. But one of my goals for 2016 was to read consistently! I read 3 books in January and LOVED them! I was so appreciative of everyone's book recommendations, so please, keep them coming!
THE HUSBAND'S SECRET
This was the first book I read, and I loved it! Going into it I just assumed it was about a husband having an affair. I had a hard time putting this book down. It kept me interested during the whole story. I would definitely recommend this!
BIG LITTLE LIES
I absolutely LOVED this book! It was probably my favorite one I read last month! I absolutely love this author! It was another read that had me super excited to pick up where I left off.
WHAT ALICE FORGOT
Many people recommended this book to me, and I loved the other two I read by the same author, so of course I was excited to read it. I really enjoyed this book as well. It had me thinking the whole time...what the heck it would be like to just lose ten years of your life! I read this book in one day!
ME BEFORE YOU
Quite a few recommended this book to me, I loved this story, but I have to admit, I was so disappointed in the ending. I was totally expecting something totally different! I didn't hate it, I was just shocked how it ended!
This is what I am planning on reading for February! I am about halfway through The Hypnotists Love Story, and I am totally LOVING it! I am excited to finish it and start the next two! Let me know what else I need to read!
I am still on the fence about getting a Kindle, I have so appreciated everyone's feedback about it! I love holding a book in my hand to read, however book storage is something I don't really have, so that's kinda why I am leaning towards the Kindle!
Have a great day! See you back here tomorrow!
I absolutely love Liane Moriarty books! I"m reading one right now! I think my favorite one of her's is What Alice Forgot. Such a crazy plot! Try The Girl on the Train! If you liked Gone Girl, you'll like it!
ReplyDeleteI read girl on the train over the summer. I loved it !!!!
DeleteIv'e read all of those books except Me Before You, I love Liane Moriarty books. Still Alice is a great book, The Last Anniversary is good too :) anything by Karen Kingsbury (she's a Christian author) is refreshing, I've read every single book she has published. I have an ipad that I read books on, but lately I've been using the library a lot more. It's so easy to log in to my account put the books I want on hold and then I get an email when they're ready. Reading can get expensive and we're trying to stick to our monthly budget. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check that author out. And I agree buying books can get very pricey! Thanks for stopping by today!
DeleteLiane Moriarty is one of my favorite authors and I've loved all of her books! :)
ReplyDeleteHave you read any books by Jane Green? She's another one of my favorite authors (I have a lot of favorites, lol).
I'll have to check that author out. Thanks
DeleteJust a thought, hopefully constructive. These aren't reviews. Just knowing that you love a book or an author doesn't really help most readers decide if they should read a book. A book review actually gives reasons why you like or dislike the book....character development, plot twists, writing style, etc. This post is more or less just a list of books you've been reading. Hope this is taken as it's intended, not mean spirited!
ReplyDeleteNo offense taken. I appreciate your input! Thank you!!!
DeleteWhy bother to comment-- do you do it just to make Kimm look bad?
DeleteGet a library card at your local library!! You don't have to spend $$ on a Kindle or books and even worry about book storage........free reading :-)
ReplyDeleteFree is for me ;). We are actually heading to the library Friday. I'm excited to get my hands on some new things to read. Have a great day
DeleteI was just going to suggest to get a library card! I think I already mentioned that to you last week and find out if your library has e-book check outs too! Best of both worlds. I just stopped buying actual books and borrow from the library and/or buy rent for my kindle. My problem with buying a book is then what? You have to store them. I guess you could give them away .....I do not want to spend money to read a book in 2 days and then give away. I guess I am not that nice! LOL
DeleteOlivia and I are heading to the library on Friday;). It's funny I get my books mainly from amazing and I finished reading one and sent it to a girlfriend to read. I had to laugh. I paid $8 to ship the book to her and only paid 6,99 for the actual book. So stupid and what a waste of money. In with you. I don't want to buy books and then just give them away. !!!
DeleteHave you read anything by Elin hilderbrand? Love her books! Also, I really liked a girl on the train. Unfortunately I just read luckiest girl alive and was not impressed. So don't add that to your list!
ReplyDeleteHi Jen. I have the matchmaker that I'm getting ready to read next
DeleteElin Hilderbrand, Emily Griffiths, Nancy Thayer.
Delete^ I'm wondering if you mean Emily Giffin- author of Something Borrowed --- and many other good books.
DeleteNot a fan of Me Before You. Was surprised to see all the glowing reviews - I thought the message was terrible! Just my two cents. :)
ReplyDeleteI was so excited to read it. So many people recommended it. And I loved the whole story but the ending , in my opinion, was terrible. I was so upset when I finished reading that book. I wouldn't recommend it ;)
