Purple Star emoji 24 items
For 2024, I decided to set a goal to read 100 books! Here are all of the books that I've read so far, and I'm going to keep adding them until I've reached my goal. I'm really not picky, but apparently I only read romance novels these days…

5/5 STARS! The main characters have my HART! I loved reading it and was so sad whenever I stopped. This is one of the best hockey books I have read this year, and I've read a lot…

5/5 STARS! I loved this one! I was hooked from when I first started reading it. A friend recommended this to me, and I almost didn't read it, but I'm SO glad I did!

5/5 STARS! I will say, it's a long book. Was it worth every minute of it? Yes. However, it was stretched out just a little bit. Everything about the story makes you invested, which is given through the length. I would recommend to anyone and everyone...

4/5 stars. LOVED it, very very cute book with a fun story line. It reminds me of People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry which is one of my favorite books!

4/5 stars! I love Tessa Bailey, and I love to play golf so this was a must read for me. I enjoyed the storyline, some parts just seemed a little too farfetched even for me.
Fangirl Down: A Novel (Big Shots Book 1)

4.5/5 stars! ELLE KENNEDY IS AMAZING! This is actually a spin off of her other hockey series and it would get 5 stars it's just not the same. It's still such a good read though!
The Graham Effect (Campus Diaries, 1)

4/5 stars, this was a good hockey book! It's technically the second in a series, but I read it on it's own.
The Fake Out (Vancouver Storm)

4.5/5 stars! I love the main characters meet-cute, and I was so invested in their love story. It did drag on a little too long which is why it doesn't get the full 5 stars!
Offside (Rules of the Game)

4/5 stars! Excellent story line, I love the brother's best friend trope! It's the second in the series, but can be read as a stand-alone book.

4/5 stars! I loved this book! It's technically the second in the series but can be read as a stand-alone book. I enjoyed reading this one a lot more than the first!

4/5 stars. The story is cute, and I love a good fake-dating book. Honestly, it's probably one of my favorite sports books to read.

You can only read this on a Kindle, but I loved it. It's a wonderful short story that I would recommend, I read it in about 45 minutes.

3/5 stars. I wanted to love this book, I just loved the idea of it more in my head than reading it. The main character, to me, was hard to understand. She seemed all over the place, but overall was a good storyline.
The Cheat Sheet (The Cheat Sheet, #1)

3/5 stars which is really sad because I love this author. The idea of the book seemed fun, but I felt confused and uninterested about halfway through. I feel like there were too many places she went with too many guys. I love romance, but I enjoyed t...

3/5 stars. The male main character is too moody for my taste, but I know a lot of readers that like that. I just felt like I needed more emotion out of him and to man up a little bit.
Behind the Net (Vancouver Storm)

3/5 stars. It took me a long time to get into this book. I started it but kept starting other things I wanted to read more. This is the first in, I think, a 9 book series. I only read this one though.

I LOVE HARRY POTTER! I've actually never wanted to read or watch any of the Harry potter movies/books. As soon as I picked up the first book I was hooked. I could not set them down, and then I immediately went to watch the movies. It is possibily the...

5/5 stars! This series got me HOOKED onto hockey novels. My favorite was defenitly the first one. I had to give myself time in between each book since they are about different love stories in the friend group, which I normally hate. But as soon as I ...
