Finlay Donovan Is Killing It- Elle Cosimano

This book was a hoot. I was lucky enough to get it in from the library after only a couple week's wait. Finlay is a struggling writer who desperately needs to come into some cash. While meeting with her agent at a Panera Bread a woman overhears their conversation and mistakes Finlay to be a hitwoman! She offers Finlay 50,000 to kill her husband. She wouldn't do it, right?

Obviously, the book blurb hooked me as soon as I read it. Though at times the book gets a little too coincidental, it is still a fun read. I enjoyed the characters as well and I'm excited there will be a book two coming out next year! Finlay reminded me a little bit of Rebecca Bloomwood (Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella). Things just "happen" to Becky in hilarious ways a lot.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who doesn't take themselves too seriously and is looking for a 'for fun' read. It was a good cleanser to some of the other stuff I have been reading. Not 100% sure what I'll be reading next as I am a mood reader. It's always an adventure.

Happy Reading!

Always, in December- Emily Stone

Summary: It started with a letter. It ended with a love story. Every December, Josie posts a letter from her home in London to the parents she lost on Christmas night many years ago. Each year, she writes the same three words: Missing you, always. But this year, her annual trip to the postbox is knocked off course by a bicycle collision with a handsome stranger--a stranger who will change the course of Josie's life. Josie always thought she was the only one who avoided the Christmas season, but this year, Max has his own reasons for doing the same—and coincidence leads them to spending the holiday together. Aglow with new love, Josie thinks this might be the start of something special. Only for Max to disappear without saying goodbye. Over the course of the next year, Max and Josie will find that fate continues to bring them together in places they'd never expect. New York City. Edinburgh. The quiet English countryside. And it turn...

Mid Year Favorites

Hoooooow is it already June?! On my reading challenge I'm at 30/60 books so I figured now was as good a time as any to look over the books I have read so far so I can choose my favorites. Hopefully at the end of the year I'll do this again and narrow it down to my favorite read of 2021! Here's what I've loved reading so far: The Viscount Who Loved Me- Julia Quinn - I have read half of the Bridgerton books now, but so far this (the 2nd) is still my favorite! If I ever re-read any of these books it will be this one. Single Mum's Book Club- Victoria Cooke - This book was so cute!! This was one of the first ARCs that I got through NetGalley and still probably my favorite one of the books I've read. It's hilarious, I laughed out loud several times. It's also endearing and heart warming. To All the Boys I've Loved Before Series- Jenny Han -I saw all of the Netflix movies before I read the books so I did picture the Lara Jean fr...

If the Shoe Fits- Julie Murphy

Goodreads summary: After having just graduated with a degree in shoe design, and trying to get her feet on the ground, Cindy is working for her stepmother, who happens to be the executive producer of America's favorite reality show, Before Midnight. When a spot on the show needs filling ASAP, Cindy volunteers, hoping it might help jump-start her fashion career, or at least give her something to do while her peers land jobs in the world of high fashion. Turns out being the only plus size woman on a reality dating competition makes a splash, and soon Cindy becomes a body positivity icon for women everywhere. What she doesn't expect? That she may just find inspiration—and love—in the process. Ultimately, Cindy learns that if the shoe doesn't fit, maybe it's time to design your own. Current Goodreads rating: 4.13 My rating: 5 I don't always love a Cinderella retelling. They are always hit or miss for me. This one was definitely a hit! I have always wanted a story w...
