June 2023 Book Review

It's BOOK REVIEW day! Let's get in to what I read in the month of June....

I guess I'm kind of stuck in a pattern of reading three books per month. Which I guess is better than NO books a month, right?!

I loved two of the books I read this month. One of them, I did not love. Like at all. 

Someone We Know by Shari Lapena-

Ohhhh my word. This book was a ROLLERCOASTER. 

Someone We Know is about a quiet little suburban neighborhood that gets completely shaken up when a neighbor is murdered. Very Desperate Housewvies-esque, so of course I loved it😂.

I would think I knew who the killer was, and then I would suspect someone else. I eventually figured it out, but the ending still shocked me! 

This was such a good book! If you like a little bit of a thriller, read this!! I think I may try out another book by Shari Lapena for July! 

Joy in the Little Things by Kerri Hess-

This book really is pure JOY! It makes me want to clean out my closet, go to Paris, and start painting water colors- and who knows, maybe I will! 

Whether you need inspiration for home, fashion, or life in general, this is a great book to spark some ideas for your next project! 

Ok, I'm off to get rid of anything that doesn't spark JOY😂!

The Jetsetters by Amanda Eyre Ward-

Hmm...

This book felt really random. It's basically about a woman/mother/widow who is looking for love in her lonely old age. She enters a contest to win a trip, and she wins. She takes her (grown) children with her, and their lives all get in the way of the trip. 

The book discussed their days at sea, their different ports, and the crazy things going on in all their lives. It seemed like it went too in depth in some parts, but not enough in other parts. Again, it just felt really random. 

The ending was in fact, the WORST part. It just...ended. Even the epilogue was random. 

I don't know. I had pretty high expectations for this book since it was a part of Reese Witherspoon's Book Club, but I just didn't love it. 

What did you read in June? Anything I should add to my list?? Have a great Thursday!

Friday Favorites {9.1.23}

  Happy Friday!! Happy SEPTEMBER!! And happy Labor Day weekend! Lots of HAPPY on this Friday morning!  As always, I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea to bring you some faves from the week!  Well, I couldn't hold out any longer... Yesterday I put out the fall decor! (I'll have a full fall "home tour" up soon!) Isn't this just so cozy?? It may be 90 degrees outside, but inside my home you'd never know!  All the PUMPKIN coffees.  My favorite Starbucks order is a Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew. Once it gets a lot cooler, I'll switch to a hot PSL.  My morning coffee though...  I added a little pumpkin spice to the top! This mug is just so happy! (I can't find my exact one, but it was $5 at Target! (This one is similar, and I might even like it a little better!) If you caught my What's Up Wednesday post earlier this week, then you probably know that this.... is my favorite night gown!! I've washed it several times, though I don't recommend putti

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
