I am going to try to stay
on top of talking about books
that I have been reading…
and I realize I say this every year
and every year, I start out strong…
and then sunshine happens
and I lose sight of this goal. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Here we are in the middle of February
and I have only read 3 books so far.
January killed me a little,
I am not really sure why…
but to be fair, my first pick
was a long one and one that I wanted to
savor
and not devour.

1 - Fall on your Knees - Anne Marie MacDonald
💙💙💙💙💙 (re-read)
I love this book.
This one is a re-read for me (more than once)
but it’s been a long time since my last read of it,
so long that I had kind of forgotten a lot of it,
which was nice…it was like reading it all new again…
it’s poetic lyrical dark and moody…
a family saga set in Cape Breton.
I adore it.
And I was just as devastated reading it
this time as I was the first time I read it.

2 - Nine Perfect Strangers - Liane Moriarty
❤️❤️❤️❤️.5
This was my “read in the sauna” book…
and I was completely enthralled. It was intense.
It was so unexpected.
I had loved Big Little Lies by the same author
and am excited to see that this one is already a series also
so I plan to check that out next!

3 - The Wedding People - Alison Espach
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was all over my social media for a while
and I’m easily influenced that way. Heh.
But this was a good influence!
It made me laugh out loud in places.
I absolutely adored the characters,
but especially the relationship between Phoebe and Lila…
well…Phoebe and anyone really.
{And I hated Matt. Like. I really hated Matt.}
This one is definitely worth the read
and I saw there might be a movie coming for it as well!
