Hi, Everyone.
I hope your Wednesday is going well. Such a strange feeling today, am I right? I took a much-needed hiatus today from the computer, went for a walk, played with the dogs, browsed the aisles at Target, and even grabbed a cappuccino at my favorite coffee shop. It’s healthy to escape things that aren’t in your control and things that give you anxiety. One of my favorite things to do lately is read, play the piano, and go on walks. I finally finished my October book picks, and I’m excited to announce the books for November.
I know the next few months will be crazy with the holidays. I am going to promise myself to read two books instead of four. Reading will help me slow down and not get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everything going on.
I’ve wanted to read these books for a while now, and I’m excited to dive in. 
I hope you love these books! ♥️ 
November Book Club Picks Are:
We Were Liars – A beautiful and distinguished family.
A private island.
A brilliant, damaged girl; a passionate, political boy.
A group of four friends—the Liars—whose friendship turns destructive.
A revolution. An accident. A secret.
Lies upon lies.
True love.
The truth.We Were Liars is a modern, sophisticated suspense novel from National Book Award finalist and Printz Award honoree E. Lockhart.
Read it.
And if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE.
Beach Read by Emily Henry – Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast.
They’re polar opposites.
In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they’re living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer’s block.
Until, one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. She’ll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he’ll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. Really.
Hope you have a good week ♥️

Taking a bath is my go-to. And sleeping LOL
Yay! I’m going to read We Were Liars first!
Yasss I wish I was a better sleeper 😆
I have read the we were liars one and I LOVED it, it was so good!
Kyle read it last week and said it was good! Can’t wait to read it.
I’ve already read Beach Read, I personally wasn’t a fan. I really struggled to finish it.
I just downloaded We Were Liars to my kindle and I’m excited to check it out!
Well I hope you enjoy We Were Liars! 🙂
I’ve been wanting to read we were liars and now that you’ve put the description for beach read that sounds good too! I’m currently reading the invisible life of addie larue. I was wondering what your thoughts were about the October books? I loved the sun down motel!
Hi, Sarah!
I’m going to do the recaps on the October book club page over the weekend 🙂 I didn’t finish the last one until a few days ago! 🙂
We Were Liars was so good! You’ll really like it ( I hope!)
Usually I am busy but with a high risk daughter we are just doing our family only so won’t see anyone but who we see daily in the house for the holidays this year. I know this might sound bad but I’m kinda looking forward to the slow holiday season this year.
My relaxing before bed is reading and herbal tea.
I’m so excited to dive into that book today!
That does not sound bad at all! I so so so agree!
I read ‘Beach Read’ while on a beach vacay last weekend and LOVED it!! I rarely give a book 5 stars but I did for this one. It’s soo cute and so good and gives you all the feel good feels 🙂 Enjoy! I’m adding my other book to my list!
I’ve only heard great things!!
OOooohhhh putting these on my reading list asap!
woo!!
I can’t wait to read these books, I’ve ordered them today. I usually relax by watching netflix, but I think I watch it to much. It will nice to to be able to have some time to read and relax as I think the next few months will be busy.
Same, Mel!
Books help me step away from the screens!
So excited to read these! Thanks for the recommendations! 💕✨

We Were Liars is a great book! Genuine Fraud is also great!
Great to hear that you like that book!!
I love that you do book recommendations. I just discovered this blog and really enjoy visiting so far, thank you for your uplifting posts!
I’m currently reading “America’s First Daughter” It’s very good, but long.
Thanks, Valerie! & welcome!!!
I read We Were Liars a couple years ago and I was Blown. Away. I’m picky about fiction and don’t read a ton of it but I’d say this is in my top fiction reads just for the sheer suspense and shock. Can’t wait to hear what you think once you finish it!!
I finished it and did NOT see the ending coming!!!!! it was so good!!!!!
