Read Books and Be Nice to Each Other

I've doubled down on the belief that if people found work, hobbies and/or interests that genuinely fulfilled them, they wouldn't have the need to focus on negativity and being unkind to others.🤷 The following books are stories I found interesting and recommend for those looking for something new to read. Enjoy, and be nice to each other. 💓

Wasted Words by Staci Hart: Cam has convinced herself that everyone, very much including herself, should always date within a prescribed “shelf” she has assigned.  Super handsome jocks should only date beautiful leggy girls, nerds should only dates geeks & so on & so on. She could never consider dating her best friend & roommate Tyler and doesn’t believe that he would ever be interested in her anyway.  Only, he just might be.  And even if they do make a go of a relationship, could she rise above her insecurities and believe that that two people that don’t belong on the same “shelf” could actually be together?  Loved this story. Felt frustrated at times (in the best storytelling way), but loved the whole story journey. 

 

 

1996 by Kirsty McManus (90’s Flashback Series): This is a multiple book series and I don’t know what to say about it without giving any spoilers. I think it’s enough to say that the story follows Anna through her adventures and let’s just say she finds an unconventional way to make sense of her life and make more renewed and informed choices. I really enjoyed this selection. I’m not sure I’d want to go through what Anna goes through, but it’s definitely intriguing. And boy, do I root for Anna’s happiness, but her journey is filled with all kind of emotional (and I guess physical) twists and turns. I feel like if I say anymore, I’m going to give it away, so find this book & read it.  It’s fun!   

 

 

 

Just Neighbors (Blue Beech) by Charity Ferrell: Chloe didn’t have it easy growing up. She had a neglectful, drug-addicted mother and a sister that didn’t fall too far from that tree. But she focused on her studies and made a goal to achieve in order to leave her circumstances. She had a massive crush on Kyle, but he broke her heart. She didn’t fair too well in other romances. But then Kyle comes back in her life and somehow finds a way to involve himself in her life & they find themselves entangled in a relationship of sorts. Kyle even gets along with her nephew and niece whom she practically raised. But just around the corner, secrets, revelations & circumstances are bound to come to light that will change the course of their lives. I actually cried at a certain part reading this book. It is amazingly written.  

 

Seems simple enough.

 

As an avid reader, there's always time for it.
