I sat down to write this and could recall only three books. Thank God for Goodreads for tracking. Although I haven't always been entering stuff on there either. It also occurs to me that the favorite books so far this year post I meant to write in June and never did is probably no longer worth writing. What a year.
Anyway this is what I read since the last linkup. I think. Who knows. Basically the two that were engrossing were very, and the rest I had to look up.
Happy happy birthday to my stepmom Carol today - I hope the weather is glorious and no one attempts to infringe on your beach space. Love you!
28 Summers by Elin Hilderbrand - I am not an Elin groupie but man I loved this book. I read it in 24 hours and the end had my throat working like crazy. Free copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review
Pretty Things by Janelle Brown - I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I didn't know much about it, it was one I bought early on in quarantine to reach the ships with $35 orders threshold for some food items I couldn't find in any stores from Target online. I really liked it. I was sucked in, the pace was great, and the story was good. Free copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review
What You Wish For by Katherine Center - Standard Katherine Center fare, which is a pretty solid, quick read that tugs at the heart. Sometimes when authors have a formula, I fight against starting their books or sinking into them even though I know I'll end up liking them. I don't know. Free copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review
Playing Nice by J.P. Delaney - This book was stressful so it took me quite a few days to read it - it made me anxious, which I don't like that much combined with Corona Summer. Intense and psychological. Free copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review
Not Worth It
Unspeakable Things by Jess Lourey - Eh, this is a no for me dawg (do you hear Randy from American Idol?). I don't love kid narrators, and that definitely contributed here. The other thing is there's so much fucked up shit in this book that is just glossed over and that annoyed me. I don't know where I got this but it was on my kindle
The Promise by Teresa Driscoll - This was good until it wasn't. Round and round and like fake madness and bullshit. No. Kindle ebook
