BOOK MAIL! I just got home from our last wedding of the season and just look at what was waiting for me. EEK!!! I couldn’t be more thrilled.

August was full of great reads!
August was insane! We traveled to Rio to watch my brother compete in the Olympics, we came home and bought a house. Now we’re in the process of boxing up our house in Denver and getting ready for the big move to Nevada. I really thought I would have read more this past month, but I can see why I didn’t… I did manage to read 3 books and 2 comics. What I did read was fantastic! I highly recommend them all and here you’ll get a glimpse into each read, but for full reviews you can click below! This past weekend we boxed up my entire office and it makes me sad to see the empty bookshelf, but I did pull a few out. Stay tuned for my September TBR!

A suspenseful read that will keep you turning the pages quickly!
Read | 4/5 stars | Pre-order your copy of You Will Know Me | Releases 7.26.16
Overview: Devon is a talented gymnast with hopes of making it to the Olympics, but when a death rocks the community, secrets are revealed. For Devon’s family who lives and breath this sport, how far will they go to ensure that Devon gets her chance to make all her dreams come true.
What I loved: Immediately had me invested because of the sport, depicted the gym world pretty darn accurately, gripping, mysterious, and a great point of view!
What I didn’t: The characters didn’t make me care for them, slow start, and plot was a little predictable.
If you liked He Will Be My Ruin, Gillian Flynn’s books, or The Girl on the Train: I have a feeling you’ll enjoy this too!

A collection of my favorite reads so far this year.
June has come and gone and so far I’ve read 39 books. They have all been great too which is why I wanted to share my favorite reads so far this year. I’m also really interested in looking back at the end of the year and seeing which of these makes the final cut for the end of the year favorites. I’m sure the list will change, but for now, I’m extremely happy with the lineup. I hope that you’ll find at least one you haven’t read yet and give it a go!!
Today, I’m dressed head to toe Americana and ready to celebrate! Sadly, Zach has to work so I’ll just be chilling at home. There will be sunshine, bbq foods, and of course a good book! Later, I’ll most likely stay home with our pup and watch the fireworks from upstairs. I love this time of year. I hope you all have a fun and safe holiday!
Happy Fourth of July!
My favorite books so far this year in no particular order:
My favorite comics/graphic novels. Again, in no particular order:
In this retelling, Holmes and Watson are suspected of murder…
Read | 4/5 stars | Buy your copy of A Study in Charlotte
Overview:
A Study in Charlotte is a retelling of the Sherlock Holmes novels except in this one, Sherlock is a girl! Charlotte and Jamie knew of each other, but it wasn’t until they wound up at the same school that they got to meet face to face. While neither of them was overly fond of the other, a friendship was formed when they were forced to work together to solve the murder and clear their names.
What I loved: A great teenage retelling from Watson’s perspective, kept me guessing, entertaining and fun! Looking forward to continuing on with this series.
What I didn’t: Wished there was more distance between them and the traits of their grandfathers.
If you liked Sherlock Holmes (the books, movies, or tv show): pick up this series!

My favorite April read was…
I see a reoccurring theme here… I’m overly ambitious with my TBR! I really thought I would do better, but sadly didn’t. I guess I was just too dang busy enjoying all the fun things to do in Hawaii! My favorite April read was hands down Salt to the Sea! I HIGHLY recommend it and if you haven’t read Between Shades of Gray, read that first! It is so freaking good you guys!! I hope you enjoy the video and as always, feel free to comment if you have questions about a book or if you’ve read any of these. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Happy Wednesday friends!!

My favorite read this month would be…
March was a crazy month and while I didn’t get to every book I had hoped, I’m happy with what I was able to read. My favorite read during March would have to be Me Before You. If you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend it and the movie was pretty great too!
