I haven’t been much of a reader in the past, but recently I’ve started incorporating a good book into my mom routine. It’s been a nice little escape while the kids are playing or reading, too. Every parent understands the need for little mental breaks! And what better way to be transported momentarily into a different world and drenched into a dream story.

I’ve also stopped watching shows at nighttime unless I’m watching something special with Nick- and have swapped it for a book in bed. It’s been a great way to unwind before hitting the hay.

If you’re a newbie reader like me, these are incredible books to be immediately immersed into! I promise they will hold your attention and you won’t know how you just combed through 50 pages in a blink.

Here are the books I’ve read! I’ve been on a Colleen Hoover kick as you can see haha

Heart Bones, Reminders of Him and Our Perfect Storm were my favourites. Layla was the only one I couldn’t finish… was a harder read for me to get into with paranormal activity mixed with romance (not my jam).

Heart Bones memorable quotes-

“I know what love is, because I spent my whole life knowing what it isn’t.”

“People sometimes still drown in the shallow end.”

“You are my water. I think I might be yours, too. I’f you’re reading this, it means I’ve evaporated. But it doesn’t mean you should evaporate, too. Go flood the whole goddamn world, Beyah.”

Reminders of Him memorable quotes-

“Grudges are heavy, but for the people hurting the most, I guess forgiveness is even heavier.”

Our Perfect Storm Memorable quotes-

“Kissing George was like stepping into a house I’d never seen but somehow knew was home.”

“I’ve found that going back to the beginning is sometimes the only way forward.”

“It’s not fair, you knowing all my weak spots.”
A hum vibrates in his chest. “It’s not fair, you being the greatest of mine.”

I hope this list inspires you to put your nose in a book this season!

Happy reading,

Josie xo
