Hello Again

It has been a while!

I have been quiet for so long because I had so much going on in my life that I was afraid I would overshare if I wrote but now that I'm here, today, I guess it's time to share...

In the past few months we have ended a marriage that wasn't fulfilling either of us, listed our house for sale, switched the kids' school, walked away from a job that was causing me more stress than good, and dealt with the pandemic that is happening in our country.  To say I've been stressed is an understatement but with our move almost done and the closing coming soon, it will be nice to finally relax with my children.

That being said, once this quarantine is over we will NOT be relaxing-- we'll be exploring our new neighborhood and documenting all the amazing places we find so stay close, follow our instagram and facebook page and get ready for a ton of new posts!

The Latest Books

I've read some really great books this summer.  I continued the fun game of just grabbing a book and hoping for the best and found some great ones this summer.


All the Wrong Places - Joy Fielding

This has been one of my favorites all year.  The beginning of the book sets up the suspense for the rest of the book and the twists and turns made it so good.  I finished it in a day and have been thinking about it for weeks.


Tight Rope - Amanda Quick

Apparently this is my second Amanda Quick story but I didn't know it when I grabbed it. This was another very cute "murder mystery". I got a bit confused with so many names but figured it out in the end. It was a quick and easy read.


Heroine - Mindy McGinnis

I'm obsessed and everyone should read this book.  It's the story of a girl who falls into addiction and it's done in a way that is real. I honestly wish this was taught in schools.


Library of Lost and Found - Phaedra Patrick

A very quick and easy read that was very playful. A book left behind leads to the unraveling of a mysterious backstory.  It's worth the beach read.


Pretend She's Here - Luanna Rice

I loved this one. Creepy enough that I was riveted but not so creepy that I had bad dreams. ha. The idea behind it is terrifying but possible, which made this impossible to put down.


The Last Romantics -  Tara Conklin

Similar to Little Fires Everywhere, it was slow going and told a story about a family dynamic.  I didn't love it, but also didn't hate it.


I really should be making more summer time to read but I just haven't wanted to lately.  I've been spending my days at summer school and on the beach with the kids but maybe I'll add a few more books before I go back to work in 2 and a half weeks?

April Books

Another month and more books....

David Ramsey Total Money Makeover

I know people swear by this book but ehhhhhh. It's all things that I know/have thought of etc. It's good if you need to stop and really look at your finances but like most self help books, you probably already know it.

The Woman in Cabin 10

This one was so good! It's a thriller involving a missing person, who may never have existed in the first place.  It's so fun and I finished it in a day. It's a must read for me!

It was a smaller selection this month but the Woman in Cabin 10 was a definite winner.
