Mile High by Liz Tomforde
5.0
comfort reread. still as amazing as the first time I read it!

“People like that are going to treat you like you’re not enough or you’re not worthy, but that’s their own insecurities coming out. They’re bullies, and they’ll stop when you make them stop. If you start loving yourself, their words will no longer have meaning.
“You following me?” A content smile pulls at his lips. “Hey, Stevie girl.”

Wild Side by Elsie Silver
3.5
It was good and I liked the characters and their growth but something was missing for me.
The Casanova by TL Swan
5.0
I don't understand how I fall off the TL Swan train over and over because I absolutely love her books every time I come back to them. I love the characters, the banter, the story, the plot, the ups and downs, the spice, it's all so good! She even had me giggling a couple of times!
Find Your Path CD: Honor Your Body, Fuel Your Soul, and Get Strong with the Fit52 Life by Carrie Underwood
4.5
I love Carrie and always have since her Idol days so this was fun. It was validating for me to hear all of her tips and tricks were things I also value and advise others. A few chapters her trainer or nutritionist would go into detail about a workout plan or diet plan that seemed a bit long but very insightful! I love fit52 and the flexibility and easiness and fun it is!
I especially loved hearing her experience with fitness and nutrition during her pregnancies, since it's applicable to me now!
She's awesome and continues to be awesome and one of my favorites!

Who you were influences who you are.
Workout when you can for the days you can't - some days things come up as life is full of surprises, that's okay
Your body is an adaptation machine.
Stay consistent with inconsistencies.
Exercising when pregnant is not the same as exercising when you're not.
When you eat the leftover food on your kids plate you are playing the role of human garbage can, and a garbage can doesn't have fitness goals.
Even when I workout, I feel guilty because I think "That's an hour I could have spent with my kids." Logically, I know that I am a better mom because I workout. It makes me feel happier, calmer, and stronger, and it gives me the energy and endurance I need to be the mom my kids need."
Don't let guilt be an excuse to make bad decisions for yourself.
There is nothing better for a child than happy, healthy, balanced, loving parents.

On a Flight to Sydney by J.A. Forde
2.5
I was mostly bored... I didn't understand where this story was going. It has a really cute meet cute in the beginning and the set up was good but then nothing else seemed to carry the book forward. The plot points that did happen were good, just kinda meh.
Rebel Witch by Kristen Ciccarelli
5.0
This wrapped up this duology so well! Soooo good! So so good. Lots of excitement and kept me on my toes questioning characters a lot of the times. Loved all the adventure and I didn't want this story to end.
Never Vacation with Your Ex by Austin Siegemund-Broka, Emily Wibberley
3.5
This would make a cute YA Netflix movie. The character and family/family friends dynamic was reminding me of The Summer I Turned Pretty (kinda?) and a free other YA novels. Maybe it was just the setting. The main characters are very YA so it kinda got annoying but reminding myself this was YA made me enjoy this read for what it is!
The Roughest Draft by Austin Siegemund-Broka, Emily Wibberley
4.0
This was a cute and fun romcom of two authors who become friends, write a best seller, go their separate ways, and then reconnect when they have to work together again.
The Sorcerer's House by Gene Wolfe
1.5
I think the writing style is neat and the premise of the story is interesting but I could not get into the storyline. I was just mostly bored.
