I read If You Only Knew last month and loved, loved, loved it.... so I read another book by that author this month:
On Second Thought
I didn't realize it, but I am really glad I read these in this order- there are some characters that reappear in the second book that I got to meet in the first book and it was good to know their history. I found a lot of humor in this book, even though there is sadness too. I really enjoyed it!
After I Do
I have read several books by this author and really liked them. This was a good read too! A couple has been married for several years and start taking each other for granted, and realize they might not love each other any more. They agree to take a full year apart for each other; no calling, no texting, no emailing, nothing. All to try and figure out how they feel for one another. Honestly, I found parts of the book sort of depressing. But I was quickly sucked into this one and found myself thinking about it when I wasn't reading it. I wanted to know what they would do at the end, and what they would chose for their future. It was a good book!
Maybe Someday
Another great book by this author I have really enjoyed this year! I loved the characters in this book and really liked the way they were each described- their personalities were fun. I think one think about this author is she tends to write the names of the characters.....a lot. For example, if the two characters were talking, they would say:
C: Bruce, why are you going outside, Bruce?
B: I have to pee, Carrie. Are you going to take me outside, or do I have to take myself, Carrie?
C: I'll take you, Bruce, Can you wait, Bruce? I am here for you, Bruce, I will take you.
Obviously that is an exaggeration, but that's how it feels sometimes. Have any of y'all read her books and noticed this?
An Island Christmas
This book was an easy, no-brainer. It was pretty short and quick. Cute and fun setting... I love Nantucket, and it sounds so magical (and cold!) at Christmas. A wedding is taking place on the island during this Christmas... and a series of events happen around getting ready for that!
I need some suggestions to read in 2018! Any good books for me to read?? Send me suggestions! Also, have you read any of the books I have? I'd love to know what you thought!
