Zero Pucks Given

This was cute little hockey romance. I really felt like I had a connection with the characters. 
The book is set up as a reality show sharing the lives of a mens and women’s hockey team and their lives on and off the rink.

All the light we cannot see
Anthony Doerr

This book was everything and then some. It was tragic, emotional, sad, happy, and so many other feelings. 

This was a really good adaptation of world war 2 showing so many different aspects of it. Showing the running and hiding and also what it’s like to be on the front line. Portrayed how young so many had to grow up and how quickly. 

This is definitely one I would recommend!

I got this as an early release arc. 
I normally enjoy mystery books but I thought this was absolutely horrible. It was one of the worst books that I read in a long time. I was not the slightest bit interested until 90% done with this book. I told several people I should have DNF’d it.

I enjoyed the story to this book. I just kept finding myself bored. There were so many parts that were really good then I felt like some of it just dragged on about the same issues over and over.

You’ll never know I’m here
Kiersten Modglin

I absolutely loved this book. Definitely one of my favorites. 
6 book influencers (reviewers) get the opportunity to go on a trip of their lifetime and actually truly meet for the first time but can you truly trust a stranger. You think that just because you know someone online does that truly mean that you know who they are. And are they really your true friends. 
Haha 😂 nevermind I have never found a K mod book that I haven’t loved. Kiersten knows how to write with just the right twists and turns. Her books always keep me wanting more.

This was my first hockey romance. I definitely will be reading some more. I didn’t know what the hype was about all the hockey books but I think I like it. 🤪

I’m going to have to look more into some of the earlier spin offs from Briar U!

It’s Better this Way
Debbie Macomber

I enjoyed this one. Her dad’s favorite saying was “it’s better this way” whether the situation felt like it was right or wrong. Everyhing works out the way it’s supposed to. There may be some drawbacks in families but hopefully no matter what everything can be settled.

ARC read

This book was one to completely draw me in. I didn’t want to put it down there were always questions going through my head trying to figure everything out. I was trying to be one step ahead. I had so many different theories on who the copycat was. 
Hannah Allen survived a serial killer ten years ago and a copycat has came forward. Can she survive a second time? This whole book I felt like I was reading a criminal minds episode and I loved every minute of it!
