What I Read This Week – August 2nd

I finished three books this week. Here are my super short but sweet reviews!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

After I Do by Taylor Jenkins Reid

I loved the journey this book took me on. I am so glad I started reading her books and that there are still more for me to catch up on! 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Nantucket Restaurant by Pamela Kelley

I always enjoy Pamela Kelley, and this was no exception. This was a great, light-hearted read.

⭐⭐⭐

What Happens in Paradise by Elin Hilderbrand

This was okay, kept my interest just enough that I do plan to read the third book in the trilogy hoping for some closure.

What I Read This Week – July 12th

I finished 3 books this week. It could have been 4, but I kept jumping between 2 different books, so they are both half-finished.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Incense and Sensibility by Sonali Dev – The Rajes #3

I really enjoyed this one. I felt it had more similarities to Austen than the previous book in the series did, and I loved getting into Yash’s story. I am looking forward to book 4.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Lost for Words Bookshop by Stephanie Butland – Lost for Words #1

I actually read the second book in the series before I was aware this one existed, but I don’t think I lost too much by reading them out of order. This book centers on Loveday, who is in the second book but not the main focus. She has had a lot of sadness in her life and the book shows how she struggles to overcome it, flipping back and forth between the past and the present. It has some heavy themes, especially of domestic violence.

⭐⭐⭐💫

Winter in Paradise by Elin Hilderbrand – Paradise #1

Hilderbrand’s books are usually a quick read for me, and this was no exception – I read it in one sitting the other afternoon. I enjoyed this story of a woman whose husband dies but turns out to have had many secrets. It was a fun story, and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the trilogy.
