Biographies
An older book that I think everyone should get around to reading. I didn’t care for the second one much but this first one is powerful.
A Child Called It: One Child's Courage
I’ve watched the Duggars since they first got on TV. Was always fascinated by them in a more of a “I just don’t understand why” concept. Hearing the truth from Jinger was a great read. Her honesty about losing her faith to rediscovering it. I’m not a...
Becoming Free Indeed: Disentangling Faith
The cover ups of the Duggar parents is unreal.
Counting the Cost: Duggar, Jill, Dillard
RIP. The things I didn’t know about an actor I truly loved to watch.
Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing: A Memoir by Matthew Perry, ...
Lauren Graham is a great writer. This book is my least favorite of hers though. It’s Lauren Graham though, I love her and I will always read and watch all her stuff.
Have I Told You This Already?: Stories
Leah is definitely one of my favorite of the teen moms. The mistakes she’s made was because of how she grew up but she didn’t let that ruin her life. She loves her kids so much.
Hope, Grace & Faith - Books
Discovered them while I was dating someone who liked watching wrestling. I went from watching and loving them there to their reality show. The book gives you an insight into what made them, who they are and why they chose to eventually drop Bella.
Incomparable: Bella, Brie, Bella, Nikki
The book that coincides with the tv series of the real life Anna Delvey.
My Friend Anna: The True Story of a Fake Heiress
I was introduced to Chelsea through this book. I loved how hilarious it was. In my opinion, she went nothing but down from there. Her mouth got bigger but not funnier. I would still recommend people to read the book if you want a raunchy laugh.
My Horizontal Life: One Night Stands (Chelsea Handler)
People seem to have mixed feelings about the book but I enjoyed it. Learned a lot about Rebel and how she grew up to become her.
Rebel Rising | Book by Rebel Wilson | Official Publisher Page
Another book that really makes me love the actress more!
Scrappy Little Nobody: Anna Kendrick - Books
From TikTok to a book of how she got to where we found her. It’s a heartbreaking book to hear what Jazz went through but also inspiring to see how much she overcame.
Stop Surviving Start Fighting: Jazz Thornton
Lauren Graham is a great writer. Loved hearing of her life and the. Her thoughts as she rewatches her own show “Gilmore Girls”.
Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls
Kelly Bishop has had a life.
The Third Gilmore Girl: A Memoir by Bishop
This book really made me feel sorry for everything Britney has gone through.
The Woman in Me: Spears, Britney
Drama
Keep a box of tissues handy. You are going to need them!
A Thousand Boy Kisses #1 - Tillie Cole
If you made it through the first gut wrenching one, what choice do you have but to keep the emotions flowing?
A Thousand Broken Pieces (A Thousand Boy Kisses, #2) by Tillie Cole
Another book that is better than the movie. I will note it’s so close though! This was the first book I ever picked up outside of school where I read from front to back. I was hooked!
Girl, Interrupted: A Memoir by Susanna Kaysen
Absolutely better than the movies! So much more detail to really learn each character.
Harry Potter Paperback Box Set (Books 1-7)
A short book Lauren Graham wrote that shows her creativity. It’s not your typical book but at the same time is. Gave it a 3 out of 5 stars.
Someday, Someday, Maybe: A Novel by Lauren Graham
I really hope this one becomes a movie! To learn about Haymitch and what he went through is gut wrenching. After finishing the book I had to go rewatch the movies to really focus on how they portrayed him.
Sunrise on the Reaping (A Hunger Games Novel) ...
Similar to the show but yet so different that it keeps you guessing.
The Brass Verdict: A Lincoln Lawyer Novel
The book the movie is based off and as always…. The book is better!
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
So much better than the movies because you really get the details. Easy read and completely addicting.
The Hunger Games Book Series
3 books in this series: 1. The last she 2. The last city 3. The last creation.
This would make a good mini series on Netflix.
The Last She Series by H.J. Nelson
Great story! Drags out here and there but you get completely hooked and will want the next book.
The Lincoln Lawyer (Lincoln Lawyer Series #1) by Michael Connelly, ...
For my first James Patterson book … OMG … the twists and turns. It was a true definition of a thriller!
The President's Daughter: A Thriller - Books
For so many in this series book 3 is just as good as the first 2.
The Reversal (Lincoln Lawyer Novel 3)
Was a good book. Wasn’t an addicting book to read but I still enjoyed it.
The School for Good and Evil Series by Soman Chainani
Smut
I put this book on the blunt smut rank. Had a bit of a story, which I enjoyed but man how quick they switched to just bluntness. I don’t regret reading but wouldn’t read the rest of the series. Just wasn’t for me .
Beautiful Bastard #1 - Christina Lauren
My first smut book. Read it endlessly during the time everyone did. Everyone had such mixed feelings but quite frankly I thought they were great! Love the movies too.
Fifty Shades Trilogy (Grey, Darker, Freed)
Smut + Captain Hook = an interesting smut read
Hooked (Never After, #1) by Emily McIntire
