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?

Friday Favorites {12.8.23}

  Happy Friday, friends!! Today I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea to bring you some favorites from my week!  If you missed yesterday's post, it was my ONE YEAR BLOGIVERSARY! One year ago, I set out to do something I've wanted to do for a very long time. I have loved this year of blogging! If you come here each week to read my blog, THANK YOU!! I appreciate your support more than you know!  I have loved the truffles from Aldi, so when I saw these chocolates I knew I had to try them. They are AMAZING. I've been eating a bit of some each night after dinner! If you see them, grab them!  I think I feel more like an adult when I have fresh flowers in the kitchen 😂. These red carnations are so cheerful!  A couple months ago, Caleb decided we needed an espresso machine...so on Black Friday he found one on a pretty good deal and went for it. We're considering it our Christmas to each other 😉. Friends, I mean it when I say if I never go back to Starbucks again, I would

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
