Once again, I have not kept
this up to date…
I have fallen behind,
I have fallen off the wagon,
lost the thread and the momentum…

but
I did read OVER my goal of books for this year
so there’s that. :)

Here is a quick & dirty summary:

26. The It Girl - Ruth Ware ♥♥♥♥ 4 out of 5

27. Carrie Soto is Back - Taylor Jenkins Reid ♥♥♥♥♥
I was surprised by how much I loved this book.
I know nothing about tennis but this had me
on the edge of my seat rooting for Carrie &
loving Javier.

28. Verity - Colleen Hoover ♥♥♥♥♥
I got sucked into the Colleen Hoover hype
but it was worth it. I did really enjoy this,
it weirdly reminded me of VC Andrews back
when VC Andrews was good & a little of 50 shades…
heh. A weird, dark mix but it worked for me.

29. The Paris Wife - Paula McLain ♥♥♥♥♥
I hated this at first but
in the end
it broke my heart….

30. The Old Man and The Sea - Ernest Hemingway ♥♥♥♥♥
also…..broke my frigging heart.

31. 5 Little Indians - Michelle Good ♥♥♥♥♥
I cried in anger, sadness & happiness while reading this.

32. Our Missing Hearts - Celeste Ng ♥♥♥♥♥
Slightly terrifying, beautifully written.

33. It’s Not Summer Without You - Jenny Han ♥♥♥♥
I needed something lighter after the last two books…
and yes, this was my year of Belly, Jeremiah & Conrad…..
don’t judge me. Heehee

34. Gut Health Hacks for Women ♥

35. And Then There Was Me - Sadeqa Johnson ♥♥♥

36. It sucked and then I cried - Heather Armstrong ♥
I wanted to love this book, I was excited to read this book….
I absolutely hated this book.
I used to read her blog and LOVED it….but maybe I have outgrown her…
I don’t know. But I hated this book.

37. Sparks like Stars - Nadia Hashemi ♥♥♥♥

38. How to Host a Viking Funeral - Kyle Scheele ♥♥♥♥♥
I finished this one at about 8:30 pm New Year’s Eve,
just in the nick of time….
and I have soooooo much to say about it…
but I have already said far too much for one post,
so I’ll save this one for another day.
