I love a good love story! I also learned a lot about the Chinese zodiac. Great read!

I could not put this book down. I’m a sucker for a cliché romance and this book gave that to me. Loved the characters and the writing!

Katherine Center does it again. Cried my way through this book, but loved it. I kept wanting Jack’s perspective to know if he was acting or not. Tugged at my heartstrings and connected to my life.
The Bodyguard by Katherine Center
I read this in about 24 hours. At times I could read fast enough. I fell in love with Anna and Quan. Helen Hoang is a great author!
The Heart Principle - Hoang, Helen
I love Emily Henry! Pulled on my heartstrings and I felt so similar to Poppy. Can’t wait to read her next one!
People We Meet on Vacation by Henry, Emily
I never was a gymnast but I have always loved the sport and a great romance. Great character development!

I hate the Bachelor/Bachelorette, but I loved this book. It was great to hear about what it might be like if the real show was actually real. So happy about the ending too!
One to Watch: A Novel by Stayman-London, Kate
I’m a sucker for the cliché romance book. The story broke my heart and repaired it again, but I loved it. Especially when set in my home state and from a writer who went to college in my hometown!
Beach Read by Emily Henry
I absolutely loved this book. There were times where it made me mad because I felt like the book was written about me, except the ending. Being a fire fighter’s daughter, I loved how accurate it was.

I’ve always been interested in ASL. This book was a nice introduction to the basics and the history of deaf culture. I loved the story of Charlie and Austin along with it.

This book had my heart all over the place. I loved the love story with the movie love stories trickled in. As always, love the happy ending as well.

I love Nina! Her character development was phenomenal. Great story about true family and doing anything for siblings.
Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid
I learned so much about the Spanish Civil War while falling in love with Ana and Daniel. I’m sad this book ended. One of the best books I’ve ever read.
The Fountains of Silence by Ruta Sepetys
I really enjoyed this book. The end left me wondering about a few things, but overall great book. I was always interested in what would happen to the four Vagabonds next.
This Tender Land: A Novel by William Kent Krueger
Loved this book! Didn’t want to put it down. There’s something you can relate to in each character’s perspective.
