1. Put a Ring On It By Beth Kendrick I've been waiting for this book to come out for months! I pre-ordered it from Amazon and was counting down the days for it to show up in my mailbox. I ignored my to-do-list and finished it in two days! I have read and loved all of Beth's books - perfect chick flicks to take your mind off the everyday stresses of life. Put a Ring on It is part of her Black Dog Bay series. It's a great love story between an unlikely pair - Type-A Brighten and chick Continue Reading
What I Read in October
1. Winter Stroll By Elin Hilderbrand I was having a rough day when I opened the mailbox and was greeted by an Amazon box. I had totally forgotten that I'd pre-ordered Hilderbrand's sequel to Winter Street, which I read this time last year and really enjoyed.

As I read I thought, "I'm so glad she has this amazing group of people she can depend on; but I've never had that type of community and I Continue Reading

This month I got intentional about working out; so sitting around reading books took a back seat on the priority list! I had to get my steps in on my FitBit!

I'm biting at the bit to hit the beach come August 7th! Hello vacation! Here's what I read this month... 1. The Beach Club By Elin Continue Reading
