I am reading other books, but I found the story interesting and I want to finish reading it in the future.

How You Get The Girl by Anita Kelly
Did not finish book. Stopped at 33%.

Didn’t find the story as entertaining and captivating as the other 2 books in the series. I was excited for it to be set in Nashville. Maybe will pick it up another time.

It was so good! I knew I was going to fall in love with the children, oh, but how I loved them! Plus it had a sprinkle of romance too. Enjoyed his writing style and how he describes things, it really made me feel like I was there. This is a great book, with a great message. Can’t wait for the next one.

Loved the cute halloween vibes, the descriptions of the town and the Fall activities, and everything pumpkin. There where other things I didn’t enjoyed as much, but it kept me entertained. And her spotify playlist is good.

At first I was a little bit skeptical, because it felt very unrealistic, but then I was hooked and couldn’t stop listening. It was really cute and funny, and I found the characters very lovable.

Felt cozy and cute. I am fan of HGTV shows, so it was interesting feeling like I was getting the behind the scenes of a remodeling show. Enjoyed the drama, but my favorite where the friendships, the romance and grand gestures.

The Bookish Bandit by Britt Howard, Erica Dansereau

I was put off by his in ability for taking responsibility and lying (or omitting information). DNF since it’s a romance book and I don’t feel like rooting for him.
