Devouring A Book

Books, Book Recommendations, Book Lists and Book Joy!

MARCH / APRIL 2022 WRAP UP

May 2, 2022

2 Months in One Wrap Up

These were such busy months! Sadly they were not busy READING months. I was able to take a birthday trip to Phoenix and read on the plane, had a couple of books to read for some book clubs I am in and finally finished a series I love. I’m really hoping that May is a much better reading month for me though!

The Girl in 6E – by A.R. Torre

RATING ★★★★☆

I had been wanting to read this book for the longest time. I ordered it on Pango Books and read it on a flight. I finished it in one sitting because it was such a unique and shocking read. This is about a girl who has the desire to murder. She locks herself in an apartment building and works as a cam girl to make money. There is a unique situation she encounters with a creepy customer and the rest is for you to find out. I promise this will be unlike any other thriller.

Maybe in Another Life– by Taylor Jenkins Reid

RATING ★★★★☆

I read this for one of my book clubs and was so thankful that this was the choice. I want to make it a point to read all of TJR’s books. I only have 2 left and then I’m all caught up! Maybe in Another Life was such a fun read about what “could be”. If I make one decision, is there an alternate universe where I made the other decision? This really got me thinking! I also liked one of the story lines much more than the other and I wonder what others feel about the 2 parallels.

Invisible Girl – by Lisa Jewell

RATING ★★★☆☆

Invisible Girl by Lisa Jewell was a book I picked up by closing my eyes and pointing to a book on my shelf. It was a middle of the road thriller and I actually don’t remember much about it… so maybe that says enough?

His & Hers – Alice Feeney

RATING ★★★★☆

This was my IRL book club pick and I was very into it!! This was a creepy book with a lot of murder, twists and turns. I did NOT see the ending coming at all and am actually not sure if I believe it if I’m being honest. I REALLY can’t wait to discuss with my book club!!!

The Fear – Natasha Preston

RATING ★★☆☆☆

I had the hardest time with this book. I typically love Natasha Preston but this felt so much more like a young adult thriller than the others I have read. I was not into the whole social media/high school trope and didn’t even finish it – I got most of the way through. The reason I am giving it 2 stars is because I cannot give Natasha 1 star and because I do think that this would have been much more appreciated by me if I had read it when I was younger.

The Goal– Elle Kennedy

RATING ★★★★☆

I just love this series. Elle Kennedy can do no wrong. Tucker was not my favorite hockey player/love interest; however, I appreciated how respectful he was of Sabrina. If you haven’t read the other books in the series I would go back and start with The Deal and make your way through them. These books are steamy and fun with a bit of drama!

The Legacy – Elle Kennedy

RATING ★★★★☆

I’m so sad it’s over!! This was a fun read getting to see all my old Off Campus friends again. It was really cute how they all stayed friends and had a funny traveling doll, Alexander, to creep each other out. I loved this book and think it helped wrap up the series well. I do think this should be the way more of these romance series wrap up! Like a reunion of sorts.

The Paris Apartment – Lucy Foley

RATING ★★☆☆☆

I don’t even want to talk about this book. This was for another book club and I was actually super excited to read it. I haven’t read any other Lucy Foley books but have heard great things. I also may be in the minority with my thoughts but it felt so disjointed and the characters were so confusing. I may be biased too because the ending was spoiled for me but I do think that this would have been a much crazier plot twist if I hadn’t heard about it. I may be doing myself a disservice by reading reviews before the books so this was probably a good lesson for me!

She Thinks Like A Boss – Jemma Roedel

RATING No Rating

I cannot rate leadership/business books but what I can say about this one is that it was fun! I liked how transparent it was for females trying to get into leadership and be empowered to be ourselves as leaders. So often can we find ourselves changing our personalities to fit the mold of what leaders “should” be like. I personally appreciate a leader who is his/her authentic self and who can show some vulnerability. This is a good read for any female and even male in the business world.

I get to wake up and see some of my beautiful book I get to wake up and see some of my beautiful books every morning ☺️. My other shelf is in my office but it’s neat having my books spread all over my home.
When I travel for work I love to look at what ever When I travel for work I love to look at what everyone else is reading. I’m currently reading The Perfect Marriage and a guy on the ✈️ I was on asked me if it was non fiction or fiction. I told him it’s fiction but it wouldn’t surprise me if this same plot was non fiction somewhere in the world. His answer was.. “i doubt it - there is no such thing as a perfect marriage”. 😆😆 cracked me up!

Talking about books with strangers is one of my favorite things - what about you?!
I am looking for books that touched your soul or q I am looking for books that touched your soul or quotes from books that you will never forget!! Comment below with your ideas and I will be putting together art that encompasses those suggestions! 

Thank you 😊 🫶🏻
Happy Valentine’s Day! Shout out to @kirstenpu Happy Valentine’s Day! 

Shout out to @kirstenpursell and @emilybookedup as I was their giveaway winner and received a signed copy of Long Enough to Love You along with a bookmark and pen. I read this book in 2 days - or should I say poured through this book! Kirsten put her heart and soul into this very relatable novel for anyone who is or has been married. Marriage takes work and if you don’t put in the work for years and years, can you come back from that and rebuild? Long Enough to Love You explored difficult topics of cheating, divorce, self-worth and more. This is not a book to take lightly - but to learn from and think about long after like I am doing today. 

I gave this book 5 stars - It was difficult to put down, made so much sense, provided moments of clarity for me, connected with my life in a way many books don’t and also the author is just a big ball of incredible energy!!! I loved getting to talk to her throughout reading ❤️ 

Cheers and have a wonderful love day!
I work from home full-time and have to make my off I work from home full-time and have to make my office a place for coziness and focus. I can’t wait to collect art for my big wall above my desk but that is going to take time. My first priority is comfort and feeling joy in this space. Working is not always the most fun (my job is tough) but having a beautiful space to feel proud of helps a lot ❤️💕

Goodness! I love getting to know my bookish friends and am hopeful this post will allow me to meet even more! Before I continue - if you could please 🙏🏻 tag your bookish besties in the comments I’d love to follow them! 🥰

Now… some tidbits about this ink drinker 
☕️the scent of my childhood is black coffee - my dad was never seen without a cup o’ joe. I will always be comforted by the energy bean! 

✌🏻I am in awe by people who have the most calm demeanor. I aspire to live in a state of relaxation and kick the anxious flutters to the curb. If you have any good tricks on how to stay mellow and live by the phrase “que sera, sera” please dm me 😆

🫶🏻I am a massive Dave Matthews Band fan. It’s part of my personality. It’s part of who I am. Always looking for fellow dmb family members… if you’re also a reader? Sheesh 😍

👵🏼My career is focused on improving the lives of seniors in senior living - that’s my main motivation for why I do what I do. 

🙋🏻‍♀️I’m a very outgoing person. I’ll talk to just about anyone. And I like it that way. 

💃I was a dancer for my entire youth - age 3-18 I was at the dance studio more than my home in any given night of the week. I miss it but my daughter is now in dance so I’m getting some of that joy back through watching her love to dance! 

🎻I am a violinist. Well… I haven’t performed in years but I am the biggest advocate for children learning an instrument. Using that side of the brain helps with so many things and is also very rewarding. 

💕I love my kids. A given? I still like saying it

Alright… there you have it. There is so much more to know and I hope this year brings so many fun bookish moments to the forefront. It’s a year of positivity and beauty for me so getting to be here on this platform with some fabulous bookish friends is aiding in that theme! Cheers to all ☀️🍻🫶🏻
