Read:
This is My America - this was very good
Anxiously Engaged - amazing...President Ballard, what a guy. "I realize that many of you are very conscious of the needs of others. I also know that you and I can do much more. Let us make the choice never to let a day pass without striving to touch the life of someone through our service! Then we can cherish and appreciate more the Savior's beautiful admonition: 'Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.'"
Homegoing - I liked how this connected generations throughout the entire book
Sweet on You - this was the third of this series, the first two I listened to. I really enjoyed them and they were clean; I told my mom to read them and she really liked them as well
Eve and Adam - this was too intellectual for me, to be honest, or maybe I'm just not smart enough!
The Do-Over - cute YA novel but wish it had less language
James - excellent, 5 stars for sure
One Foggy Christmas - I flew through this over Thanksgiving break, really cute and clean!
Later on We'll Conspire - my second favorite Christmas book that I read in December
Listened to:
The Second Life of Mirielle West
Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of an American Family - interesting and actually very sad
The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump
The Island of Missing Trees - I did enjoy the storyline of this book but I loved the descriptions of Cyprus and the food...makes me want to visit!
Once Upon a Wardrobe - excellent
Twenty Years Later - good murder mystery and I don't remember too much as far as language goes - plot twist at the end
Gone Girl - complete waste of time - way too much language and I ended up not even liking it
The Women - Kristin Hannah is a master, everything I have read from her has been amazing and this was no exception
Winter Solstice - I love me some Rosamunde Pilcher, took me longer to get into this book but ended up enjoying it. I always love how she develops the characters in her books and makes me wish they were real people that I could be friends with
The Hot Zone - ebola is scary
Defy the Night - I am listening to the second book in this series and I really like them...thinking Ivy might enjoy them in a few years
Book Lovers - enjoyed the story, had to skip through a steamy scene, but the banter between the two main characters is great
All the Seas of the World - an accomplishment that I even got through this one, it was super duper long
The Boys: a Memoir of Hollywood and Family - I liked this peek into a famous family and how they were able to be "normal" for the most part
