So, first of all, I did sort of fall off a bit on this one. I didn't document everything I read in 2020, which was way more than the few books I am listing. I am picking this up again as of February 2021, and will be updating monthly, or as I complete each book.
2020 books
- Post Apocalyptic Nomadic Warrior: Duck and Run: I really liked this book. It was creative and not your average "Zombie Apocalypse" book. I will be continuing the series. Side note: for some reason every time I see this title, my mind starts singing "Have Gun Will Travel".
- Eat Pray Love: It took me way too long to finish this book. I actually really liked it. I have also watched the movie, and it is actually at the point where I am unsure which I like more. It inspired me to continue my spiritual journey in every way possible.
- Land of Stories books 1-3: This series is surprising. The author is Kurt from Glee, and I LOVE it. It is not a re-imagining of the fairy tales you know, as much as it is a continuation after "Happily Ever After" with two kids plunked in the middle. The only reason I stopped after book 3 is because I am not ready for whatever trauma is about to happen lol.
- Alice In Zombieland Series books 1-3: Again, a great series that I stopped because I am not ready for the trauma haha. I accidentally read the book jacket of the book after next, and I stalled out halfway through book 4. I went into this series thinking it was going to be like Pride & Prejudice & Zombies.... which I have not actually read but did see the movie. It is NOTHING like it. Some of the symbolism from Wonderland is there, but not the story itself. Would have been cool, but still a really good series.
2021 Books
- January: Julie and Julia: where the heck did I put this book....
- February: The Compound Effect: This book is the start of my self-improvement kick. I have started reading more personal growth books, listening to podcasts, signed up for Success Magazine... The writer of this book is a former publisher at Success. This book focuses on how small change can and will snowball into something huge. Great book.
- February: The ONE Thing: In progress
- February: Spilled Milk: I literally read this in one day. Based on a true story, the author conveys a story of an abuse victim, and the aftermath of her finally telling someone. It is well written, and will make you feel all the feels. Amazing. I highly recommend, especially because it shows that you can't just look at someone and know they are suffering.
- February: Lost Girls: An okay suspense book, though I hesitate to categorize it as that. There were some amazing parts. But I feel that some things could have been fleshed out a little more, changed since there were so many of the same scenarios. I did make it through it, which is a big indicator that it is interesting (If it doesn't grab me within the first chapter I never go back).
- February: Someone Tell Aunt Tillie She's Dead: OBSESSED. This is a funny book, and crazy. It is a fiction book about a witch that inherits what is essentially a haunted house. But it is way more than that and I am excited to power through the whole series.
- March: Someone Tell Aunt Tillie We're In Trouble: Again, great book. This one is about the main character's best friend causing all sorts of trouble with a toad bone. Already bought the next book.
- March: Someone Tell Aunt Tillie We're Canning Demons: NOOOOOO! I powered through the whole series in days. I read Someone Tell Aunt Tillie We're Kidnapping Cupid as well. So good. There is another book to be released and I can't freaking wait.
- March: Amethyst Witch: Well I spiraled into a Witch genre binge. This book is the first of the Stacy Justice series, and it was really good. Didn't focus so much on witchiness, but it was a pretty good "mystery" book. This was written by an author who collab'd with the writer of Tillie, so I had to check it out. Not disappointed.
- March: Summer Magic: Good book. Paranormal (witch) romance. First in a series that I can't wait to dive into. I will say, they use the word sister sooooo much. But otherwise it is great. Deals with a witch family dealing with love, drama, and family.
- March: The Faerie Guardian: Pretty good book, but a lot of cliffhangers that are apparently being touched on in the sequel. There's not really too much to say about it. It was good, but one of those that isn't easy to recall later.
- March: Opal Fire: A pretty good sequel to Amethyst Witch. More witchiness, way more mystery. And a huge twist at the end. Probably going to wait a little bit to read the next installment though.
- March: Beneath The Attic: This is a prequel to Flowers In The Attic. I feel like maybe I have read this before, because it feels so familiar to me. I love V.C. Andrews, and all of her series.
- March: Always Room For Cupcakes:This book was fun! Mildly raunchy, definitely crazy. It's about a woman who is working as a photographer for a PI, who gets herself into all sorts of trouble.
- March: Autumn Magic: Sequel to Summer Magic. I am loving this series. It is funny, and also moved me to tears. This one doesn't use the word sister as much. Also this series is marked 18+ due to sexual content. The first four books deal with each sister's love life, as well as their quest to save their mother.
- March: Winter Magic: I read this one in the matter of hours. Hilarious, but also with some stomach-dropping moments. Already started on the next one. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
- March: Spring Magic: This one broke my soul. All of the other books were good, but this one is so much MORE. I cried a few times, because it makes you feel so much.
- April: Girl, Wash Your Face: In progress
- April: Update: I am up to book 8 of the Thorne series (Summer Magic and it's sequels). Still really good; however I now have no idea where the books are leading as a few of the main plotlines have been concluded.
- December: Whoops, fell behind. I am tunneling through Berkley Street, book One. Amazing so far!
