May 2023 Book Review

Whew! After the complete DUD that April was as far as my book reading goes, May was FABULOUS! 

Let's get in to what I read in May!  

Iona Iverson's Rules for Commuting by Clare Pooley

I have to preface this by saying I'm typing this sentence before I've even finished the book, but OH MY this is such a cute book! If you haven't read it, READ IT! 

Now that I've finished the book, here are my remaining thoughts! 

This book is all about unlikely friendships and not judging people by their outward appearances or your assumptions about what kind of person they are. 

Romance. 

Major life decisions.

Complete strangers to friends who don't know how to live life without each other. 

I will say that I got a little bored sometimes when the story was moving slowly, but then a chapter would end on a cliffhanger! 

It takes place mainly during the morning and evening train commute to London of Iona, Emmie, Martha, Sanjay, Piers, Jake, and David. These seven strangers become each other's confidants and all come together when they need each other most. 

Taylor Swift: A Little Golden Book Biography by Wendy Loggia and Illustrated by Elisa Chavarri

I'm including this, because, well, it's a book, and I read it in the month of May. 

Yes, it's a children's book. Yes, it's about Taylor Swift. And yes, it's adorable. 

My mom started a tradition several years ago of giving me and my sister a children's book and pjs on Christmas Eve. She reads us the book, and then we put it away for our future children. So, when I see a cute children's book, I get it to put away with the books from my mom. 

When I saw this book, I knew I had to get it! I ordered it on Amazon for less than $5!

If you're a "Swiftie" and/or are raising little Swifties, get this book! It's so cute, and makes a perfect little happy for the Taylor fans in your life! 

The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren

It's very predictable. 

Boy meets girl. 

Boy and girl can't stand each other. Boy and girl are trapped together on someone else's honeymoon for ten days. 

Aaaaaannnddd....you know the rest. And I loved every second of it. 

It was cute, sweet, funny- I actually laughed out loud a couple times. With trying to decide whether Olive and Ethan would ever admit their feelings for each other and a little twist at the end, I didn't want to put it down! This is the perfect little beach or pool read for your summer! 

I loved my May books! What should I read next??? Have a GREAT Tuesday!!

  1. I LOVED the Unhoneymooners; it was my first Christina Lauren book and I've slowly been making my way through all their others. Did you ever read the Authenticity Project? I thought that was a super cute book?

Let's Look: March 2024

  I'm back!! Happy Wednesday!! It's the second Wednesday of the month, so that means it's time for LET'S LOOK with Shay and Erika!! In January, we "looked" at How We Clean Our Closets. In February, we "looked" at Little Things We Do Every Single Day. Today, we are "looking" at..... OUR GROCERY CARTS!!  Since I was in Nashville over the weekend, I had to run in Trader Joe's! So, I went ahead and did my grocery shopping for the week while I was there. Plus some other goodies too!  When I went to the TJ's in Huntsville, I said it was my favorite. BUT, I have found a new favorite. There are two locations in Nashville, and I've now been to both. The one on White Bridge Pike is FABULOUS! They had every single thing on my list, and then some. I've been to the other location over by Green Hills Mall, but I didn't look around much, so I can't really attest to how that one is.  I snapped this picture of my grocery cart! This i...

Friday Favorites {12.20.24}

 Happy Friday, friends!! And Merry Christmas Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve- that's a thing, right??😂 I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea today to share some faves from the week, and then I will be off for the holidays! My plan is to see y'all back here on January 13! For some food faves.... I grabbed the raspberry kringle at Aldi the other day after seeing so many positive reviews on it. It is really good!! I had some with a cup of coffee a couple times this week! Last night, Caleb made lasagna soup- YUM. Definitely a favorite of mine lately! A great way to end the night.... Caleb made me a cosmopolitan the other night. Yum! I am really going to miss this sight.... This is my favorite time of year for sure! Twinkly lights and candle light = the BEST. On my drive home from work yesterday.... This was a fun little surprise. I don't remember this from last year! I hope you all have a great weekend and a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday! However, whatever, whenever, whereve...

Friday Favorites {10.18.24}

 Happy Friday!! I hope you all had a great week! I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea today to share some faves from my week. Well guess what is back tonight?? NEW Hallmark Christmas movies!! Ummm YAY!! I'm most excited about Confessions of a Christmas Letter (Angela from The Office is starring in that one!) and Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story! For some foodie faves... This right here. It made my week. I'm obsessed with the tuna from Beagle Bagel. It's amazing. I can never say it enough! I made egg drop soup for the lunch the other day, and it was really good! It's always been my favorite soup from Chinese buffets. I didn't feel great and wanted a soup...luckily I had all the ingredients. I used this recipe here. The weather this week was absolute perfection.  I mean, it was really, really cool. And it was fabulous. So, that means.... I broke out a sweater and my Sorel booties that I love so much! I always forget how good the Bible app is. I opened it up...
