Books I've Read - June 2026

June 4, 2026

 

Hello friends, and happy June!  I'd love to share with you the books I've read recently.






Amazon

I loved this book set in Italy at the Amalfi coast.  It's about how three people need an escape from their daily lives and form friendships while on vacation.  This makes me want to take a trip back to Italy for the summer!   



Amazon

I was looking for a book to read and I saw that this was recommended by the library and a halfway-to-Halloween book.  I started reading this, but could not finish it as it was too slow for me.  I'm a little disappointed, but if I don't like the book I'm reading or I'm bored, I will not waste my time finishing it.



Amazon


I enjoyed this fun read, that made me laugh at times.  The main character in this book has a funny personality.  

“Ocean’s Eleven meets The Devil Wears Prada” (The Skimm) in this hilarious, razor-sharp debut novel about a group of overeducated and underpaid women who decide they’ve finally had enough...

Rule #1: All important men have assistants. Rule #2: Men rule the world. Still. Rule #3: There is enough money. There is so much money.

Books I've Read - June 2026

Books I've Read - May 2026

May 7, 2026

 


Hello friends, and happy May! 


This was a good reading month for me, and I'd love to share those books with you.





Most of the books that I've read are from the library using the Libby app.  I love that I can read popular books that I can just download onto my Kindle.   
   


Amazon

I enjoyed reading about this family drama that is set after a car accident.  This story kept me on my toes.




Amazon

My daughter bought this book to read and lent it to me.  It's a cute rom-com that is set in Italy.  It was such fun to read about being in Italy for 24 hours for a wedding and everything that takes place in that time.  I enjoyed hearing about all of the places they visited and the food.  The book even has a recipe to make an Italian dish. 
 


Amazon

I enjoyed this book and other books by this author.  It's about a sort of writing competition for two authors who are trying to get and write about a reclusive woman's life.

Hello friends and happy April. 😀🌸  


I'd love to share with you the books I've read recently.




All the books that I'v read, are from the library using my the Libby app.  I love that I can read popular books that I can just down load onto my Kindle.      



Amazon

I enjoyed reading about the small-town romance and all the characters in Dream Harbor.  This is book 4 of 6 and a book series.  I've read other books by this author and enjoyed this easy read.



Amazon

This is book 5 of 6 of the Dream Harbor series.  I tried to read this book, but found it boring and didn't enjoy it.  I returned this book to the library.  



Amazon

I enjoyed this book about a girl's weekend that goes bad.  It kept me guessing the whole time, and I couldn't put it down.  



Amazon

This is a cute love story that takes place in France.  I enjoyed this light read and would recommend this book. 



Amazon

This is book 1 of 3 in a book series.  I love reading books by this author and her summer reads.  I loved this story, and it kept me on my toes.  I was sorry that the ending of this book came to a stop.  I have to continue to read the next book in this series.

Books I've Read - March 2026

March 5, 2026

 

Hello blog friends.  Due to the recent snowstorm and blizzard, I've been reading more than usual.  I'd love to share the books that I've recently read.






Amazon

This is my first time reading a book by this author, and she has written a wonderful mystery.  I enjoyed the characters, and I'm hoping there will be a series of these books. 



Amazon

This is book three in the Maid's series.  I enjoyed this book just as much as the other two books.  If you like a mystery this is a good one.



Amazon

I like reading historical fiction from time to time, and this was a winner.  I loved how it changed from the present to the past.  This was enjoyable read about wartime life and life on Martha's Vineyard in the 1940s.



Amazon

This book was a quick read, and I thought it was just Ok.  It kept me on my toes, and I liked that book takes place in Scotland.

Books I've Read - March 2026

Books I've Read in January 2026

February 5, 2026

 


Hello blog friends.  I'd love to share with you the books I've read in so far this year.

 





Amazon

I received this book as a Christmas gift from my daughter.  I totally enjoyed reading this book.  It's about Sam and Sadie who meet at kids and then they make and develop video games after meeting again after college.  I liked this book so much that I recommended it for my daughter and husband to read.   




Amazon

I've noticed other bloggers raving over this book.  I'm glad it was available to download from my Libby app from the library.  I've enjoyed other books by this author, and I even met her at my daughter's school when my daughter was little.  I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.
