December 2018 Wrap Up

Image
This is the last wrap up for 2018. Despite not being able to read Kingdom of Ash this month, I still managed to read 6 books this month despite my busy schedule and going to Japan for 16 days, which I feel really good about. So here are the six books that I read last month. 1. The Hookup by Kristen Ashley  When the new girl in town, Eliza “Izzy” Forrester decides to hit the local drinking hole, she’s not ready to meet the town’s good, solid guy. She’s definitely not prepared to engage in her very first hookup with him. Then Izzy wakes up the next morning in Johnny Gamble’s bed and good girl Izzy finds she likes being bad for Johnny. Even so, Izzy feels Johnny holding her at arm’s length. But Johnny makes it clear he wants more and Izzy already knows she wants as much of hot-in-bed, sweet-out-of-it Johnny Gamble. Floating on air thinking this is going somewhere, Izzy quickly learns why Johnny holds distant. He’s in love with someone else. Someone who left him and did it leaving...

November 2018 Wrap Up

Image
November has been a slow reading month for me because I got really sick at the beginning of the month for two weeks and it was so bad that I was always asleep because of my meds. After that I got so busy catching up with work and other things that I barely had time to read. But did manage to read 7 books; two are sent for reviews. I also read mostly classic books this month. I started reading Becoming by Michelle Obama but I am only a hundred pages in.  So here are the books that I read:  1.
