This year I upped my reading game (I read 66 books – my highest count ever!), joined a monthly book club, signed up for NetGalley, and started my own book blog. It’s been super fun and I can’t wait to see what 2018 brings.
Thank you for following my blog and for your likes and comments – you have all made this venture into blogging one that I truly enjoy. You are all the bee’s knees. Hope you have a magical 2018!
Happy New Year!

I am always looking for new places to purchase books. My go-to is Amazon (for its convenience) and I recently signed up for a Barnes & Noble Membership (thanks in part to birthday and Christmas gift cards!).
If I can check out a local bookstore I will, but often times they are much more expensive. I love going to my local used bookstore, its like hunting for buried treasure but I know I may not always find what I am looking for.
Regarding book subscriptions: I joined Book of the Month, and love it. I tried PageHabit once and was disappointed that $30 only got me a paperback – not cool.
What book subscriptions do you do? Where do you go to buy books? What am I missing that I should check out?
side note: This is my 1st blog post written from my phone – look at me! 😉
However you choose to spend your day today: I wish you a day full of love and laughter XO
After a few chapters in…
Round III of Fun Fact Friday is here! This week I am sharing my Top 5 answers to the 5 categories listed below. It’s a lightening round of fun facts, kinda like speed dating.
The Top 5 categories I chose:
1) Favorite Books
2) Books Disliked
3) Albums of All Time
4) Movies
5) Holiday Movies (since Christmas is only 3 days away!)
Another – not-so-hidden – fun fact in there: you can tell by my category choices that I am a lover of books, music and movies.

As I have mentioned before, a book cover – like a wine label – can sway me to check a book out. This was the case in my selection of A Cosy Candlelit Christmas by Tilly Tennant. Super cute cover that brings all the holiday feels. Read More »
What type of book format do you prefer? And, if you prefer an ebook which one?: Kindle, Nook, Amazon Fire, etc.Read More »

Perfect Little World by Kevin Wilson
Published: January 24, 2017 by Ecco
Purchase: Amazon or Barnes & Noble
Goodreads Synopsis:
When Isabelle Poole meets Dr. Preston Grind, she’s fresh out of high school, pregnant with her art teacher’s baby, and totally on her own. Izzy knows she can be a good mother but without any money or relatives to help, she’s left searching.
Dr. Grind, an awkwardly charming child psychologist, has spent his life studying family, even after tragedy struck his own. Now, with the help of an eccentric billionaire, he has the chance to create a “perfect little world”—to study what would happen when ten children are raised collectively, without knowing who their biological parents are. He calls it The Infinite Family Project and he wants Izzy and her son to join.
This attempt at a utopian ideal starts off promising, but soon the gentle equilibrium among the families disintegrates: unspoken resentments between the couples begin to fester; the project’s funding becomes tenuous; and Izzy’s growing feelings for Dr. Grind make her question her participation in this strange experiment in the first place.
Written with the same compassion and charm that won over legions of readers with The Family Fang, Kevin Wilson shows us with grace and humor that the best families are the ones we make for ourselves.
