Cold, snowy winter nights find me curled up by the fire with a hot chocolate and a good book. I have always enjoyed reading and for a time I found myself not reading as much. The last couple of winters I have made it a point to change that! My tastes certainly vary in my reading choices. I enjoy everything from self-improvement and motivational books, to quirky romance, to mystery. Here are 5 of my favorite reads!
The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan is a royal romance inspired by Kate Middleton and Prince William. An American finds herself in love with the heir to the British throne. Will they or won’t they be married?
Piglet: The Unexpected Story of a Deaf, Blind Pink Puppy and His Family by Melissa Shapiro, DVM. Piglet is an amazing story and he lives with Dr. Shapiro and her family. Piglet was born blind and deaf. He was only to be a foster at the Shapiro household but when the day came to let him go, they could not do it. Piglet leads a full and wonderful life with his family and his inclusion pack of dogs. The Piglet mindset has become a program at many schools worldwide and his story is an incredible one. It will leave a tear in your eye.
The All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. This series is something I always go back to read. A grown-up version of Twilight, the trilogy follows witch Diana Bishop and vampire Matthew DeClermont. Their adventures take them to Tudor England and back where their characters are intertwined with Elizabeth I and many other historical figures. The trilogy has also been made into a television series. A fantastic read!
How To Do You by Jacqueline Hurst. A different kind of self-help book. This book prides itself on helping you think through your journey and make the fundamental changes that are right for you. We all have a different journey. Learn how to get past the emotional blockages that have been with you throughout life and move from them. Very critical thinking and deep-dive book.
Finley Donovan is Killing It by Elle Cosimano. A fun, easy read. Finley is an author and while discussing her new book with her agent, she is mistaken for a contract killer and agrees to help dispose of a husband. The twists and turns make this book a great read.
These are just a few of my favorite reads from the last year. I have a growing list of books to tackle this year too. What are you reading? I guess it’s time to grab my hot chocolate, turn on the fire, and cozy up with a new book!
Until next week,
Carrie
