January Reading Wrap Up

Books· books 2016· Uncategorized

Y’all, January was a great reading month for me! I read a total of 10 books and I didn’t hate one of them! I read so many great books and I cannot wait to share with y’all. 
Follow me on GoodReads to see what I’m reading.
Follow me on Instagram to look at what I’m reading. 🙂
This one is a slow burning thriller that Reese Witherspoon instagrammed. I LOVED this book! It’s about a guy who returns to his hometown after his best friend has apparently murdered his family and then killed himself. This book wasn’t action packed, but it slowly built the story in a way that left you not being able to put the book down. I could not wait to figure out what happened. Soooo good!

This book blew me away! It’s about a girl who is engaged to her childhood sweetheart. He disappears on a boating trip and is presumed dead, but the main character can’t let it go. She goes on a quest to find him and bring him back home. I did not expect the turn this book took and I LOVED it! The sequel comes out in July!

I read The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson last January and it quickly became one of my favorite thrillers. I was so excited to get my hands on his newest book Her Every Fear. While it wasn’t as good as TKWK, I still loved it! It’s about a girl who switches apartments with a cousin whom she’s never met before. When she arrives, the girl who lives right across from her cousin is found dead and the cousin is a suspect. I couldn’t wait to figure out how this one ended and loved every minute of it!

This one was a strange read for me. I’m not into paranormal books and this one was about a girl who falls in love with her guardian angel. It was odd. Parts of it I liked, but parts were just odd and rushed. I didn’t hate it, but it was definitely my least favorite read. This author is turning out to be a hit or miss for me. I loved Before We Were Strangers, but didn’t really like Swear On This Life. 
This month I also read this series. I HATE the titles and the covers because they make the series sound so much different than what it really is.Don’t get me wrong, they are definitely adult book, but it’s not like Fifty Shades of Grey! I love romance books like this because it follows the same characters for a long period of time. And the characters in this story are just so fun!

Are you a kindle lover or no? I feel like I become Are you a kindle lover or no? I feel like I become a kindle girlie during the winter months, but I have no clue why. I usually always prefer a physical book, but here lately I’m glued to my kindle. I remember this happened to me last winter, too. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m flying through my TBR though, so let’s call it a win!

Anyways, here’s what I read in November. It’s been a weird reading year for me, so it’s kinda all over the place. A couple of 5 ⭐️’s, but also some definite duds lol

Have y’all read any of these? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Kicking off my holiday reading with Falon’s Ball Kicking off my holiday reading with Falon’s Ballard’s newest rom com, All I Want is You! I love this author, so I’m excited for this one. 🩷📖🎄

Synopsis:
All Jessica has ever wanted is her own happily ever after. But until that happens, she spends her days as a small-time romance writer, penning satisfying Happily Ever Afters to soothe the heartache left by her ex-boyfriend Nick—also a romance writer and now her biggest rival—who has found success writing love stories without happy endings. It’s what he’s good at, after all . . .

So when their professional obligations bring them to a remote inn a few days before Christmas, they’re a little more than peeved, especially when they get trapped sharing a room in a snowstorm. But what’s more fitting for two romantic writers in a slump? Realizing the friction between them might be the only cure for their writer’s block, they decide to turn their frustration into fiction . . . and the pages start flying. But will Jess’s heart soar, too? Nick is the last guy on earth she should love . . . but what if he is really all she wants for Christmas?
What I read this week 🩷📖 It took me all wee What I read this week 🩷📖

It took me all week to read The Favorites by Layne Fargo, which usually means I’m not loving a book, but I’m thrilled that’s not the case with this book! It was just a super busy week for me so I didn’t read as much every day as I wanted, but I absolutely LOVED this book! It releases January 14, so mark your calendars now! I don’t even love figure skating/ ice dancing (honestly I’ve never even heard of this) and I still was obsessed with this book. Highly highly recommend!

Thanks for my early review copy, @atrandombooks

Halfway thru this book and I can. not. put. it. do Halfway thru this book and I can. not. put. it. down. 1000% obsessed. It releases in January, so put it on your TBRs NOW! Oh my goodness I’m loving this book!

Synopsis:

She might not have a famous name, funding, or her family’s support, but Katarina Shaw has always known that she was destined to become an Olympic skater. When she meets Heath Rocha, a lonely kid stuck in the foster care system, their instant connection makes them a formidable duo on the ice. Clinging to skating—and each other—to escape their turbulent lives, Kat and Heath go from childhood sweethearts to champion ice dancers, captivating the world with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style, and roller-coaster relationship.

Until a shocking incident at the Olympic Games brings their partnership to a sudden end.

As the ten-year anniversary of their final skate approaches, an unauthorized documentary reignites the public obsession with Shaw and Rocha, claiming to uncover the “real story” through interviews with their closest friends and fiercest rivals. Kat wants nothing to do with the documentary, but she can’t stand the thought of someone else defining her legacy. So, after a decade of silence, she’s telling her story: from the childhood tragedies that created her all-consuming bond with Heath to the clash of desires that tore them apart. Sensational rumors have haunted their every step for years, but the truth may be even more shocking than the headlines
