Book Review Dec 2022
Hi y’all! I’m so glad that I’m back on a regular schedule for blogging! Y’all have tended to love Book Chats and Review posts so I thought I would end the year with a Book Review post! I occasionally post about books on Tiktok and Youtube as well. One thing I’m doing that is new is I joined Kindle Unlimited! Another great option for books is Amazon’s Audible Plus. Audible Plus includes books, podcasts, and more! I use my iPad and the kindle app to read books. In the past, I have normally used the Apple books app; however, I feel like it’s been lacking recently. Book Reviews from Kindle…

January 2022 Book Chat + Book Review
I love reading, I really do. I’m always so excited to write this post every month. Writing these book reviews brings me so much joy because it means I get to share good books with you. As usual, I read most of my books for free on the Apple Books app; however, I also read on the Libby app. These books are so accessible, you don’t need to go to the library or order a physical copy unless you want to. God Bless this Mess by Hannah Brown | 3.5/5 stars. I will say this was a very quick read. It’s Hannah Brown’s own memoir about her life, including some…

November 2021 Book Chat
Welcome to this month’s book chat! Y’all, I actually already wrote this post and then went to switch my URL hosting service and realized the post had disappeared. Honestly, I thought maybe I didn’t write it and I just planned it out so thoroughly in my head that I thought I did. Then, I found the graphic I made and realized it had just disappeared. I’ve been taking full advantage of being done with grad school and have been reading a ton. One of my favorite things about my iPad is that new books are just a click away. I get most of my books on the normal books app…

Book Chat: Spring
It’s time for the latest book chat. I literally can’t believe that I barely posted in March and that this is my first book chat since the beginning of February. Book chats are one of my most favorite to write. However, I will say that I’ve been struggling with time management and accomplishing things. I’ve been reading a lot as my form of stress relief, working on my UVA grad class, and studying for my Praxis test I need for my teaching license endorsement to become a Reading Specialist. I honestly feel so much better when I read every day. My books app on my iPad has a tracker for…

Book Chat February 2021
It’s time for a look at January’s books! You can find my last book chat here. I’m going to try and keep my goodreads account up to date this year, but no promises on that one. Colton (A Wild Man Novel) | Sky and Colton never thought they see each other again after that night in Colorado when they were teenagers. Fate suddenly brings them together, and neither can believe it. However, Sky and Colton are both running from different things. Can they work it out for true love? 5/5 stars. Y’all this book is everything. I loved every part of it. It’s got drama, it’s got love, it’s got…

The Best Books of 2020!
The best books of 2020 list is here! Y’all know I love to read. If nothing else came out of 2020 I actually got to read more than ever before. Albeit, some of that came from the fact I took Children’s Literature and had to read multiple novels a week for the class. I have been doing book chats to keep y’all up to date on what I’ve been reading and my thoughts on the books. Sometimes, I do just give summaries, especially if I think I’ll give too much away. The Books Western/Cowboys Claiming the Cowboy for Christmas | Ashley wants practically nothing to do with this wedding except…

December Book Chat
Welcome to this month’s book chat! Y’all, I truly think book chats are my favorite posts to write every month. Disclaimer: I am an Amazon affiliate and may receive compensation. All opinions are my own. Know My Name by Chanel Miller Everyone remembers the story of the Standford swimmer who sexually assaulted the young woman behind a dumpster at a frat party. What we don’t remember is her name. This is the memoir of Chanel Miller, the young woman who no longer wants to be known as Emily Doe. Instead, she wants you to say her name. Real life connection to the book This book talks about how we as…

Book Chat {November 2020}
Hi y’all, I cannot believe I haven’t done a book chat since June! This book chat is super long, and it’s not even complete. I’ll be doing another post to share even more books that I’ve read since June. Trust Me by Margaret Watson- 4.5/5 stars Raine Taylor is concerned about one thing: catching her sister’s killer. Connor Donovan, local detective, is called about a disturbance…little does he know how that little disturbance will change his life. Raine’s one goal in life puts her at risk, can Connor save her? Loved this one! The story has a variety of twists and turns which I love. When you think you have…

June Book Chat
Hi y’all, Can you believe it’s almost the end of June? Me neither! I had a few assignments to finish up for school which is why today’s post is so late. I did talk about the children’s books I read for class here. However, I didn’t read only for class this month. The Start of Us by Lauren Blakely. Girl and guy are best friend, but nothing more….right? Maybe not. This is part of a trilogy and I have only read this one. Definitely a story that captivated my attention and makes me want to read more. 4/5 stars for stereotypical ending. Marrying Mr. Perfect by Lizzie Shane. The nanny…

Book Chat: Children’s Books
Hi y’all, You all seem to love my monthly book chats so I wanted to share with you some children’s books, too. As a Reading teacher, I absolutely love sharing new books with my class and I’m so glad y’all love to read as much as I do. These books were all assigned or I picked them for my Children’s Literature course I’m taking for grad school at UVA. I have finished all but 3 for the class, but I still wanted to go ahead and share them so if you wanted to request them for your classroom you had time to.
