What I’ve Read Lately
I am happy to report that I am successfully caught up and ahead of this year’s reading challenge! Since the last reading update, I finished eight books, five of which belonged to the Elle Kennedy Off-Campus series. I loved them, even the fifth book which was a novella of all four roommates in one. It was also my very first Hockey series! I’m surprised how much I loved it considering I know nothing about hockey LOL I’m already planning the next series of hers (Elle Kennedy) that I am going to be reading, Briar U, which is a sequel to the Off-Campus series where the focus is on the new Briar hockey team. I was also just informed that she is writing a third series that ties into the original but focusing on the kids of the characters from the original Off-Campus series.
Anyway, moving on from Hockey, I also read a handful of great books including the Housemaid and Vacation Wars, I also read Tomorrow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow for my book club at work. It was a successful month-ish of reading. Highly recommend. Here’s a link to each of the books I finished:
- The Housemaid by Freida McFadden
- 5/5 hands down the best thriller I’ve read since Verity… obsessed doesn’t even cover it and I cannot wait to get into the sequel.
- Vacation Wars by Meghan Quinn
- Another 5/5 book by the amazing Meghan Quinn. I cannot get enough of her writing, but honestly this book was captivating. I laughed, I snorted, I cried, and I fell in love with the characters. Loved this book and I love Meghan Quinn. I already downloaded four more of her books so I can read them on my beach vacation later this month.
- The Deal (Off-Campus Book 1), The Mistake (Off-Campus Book 2), The Score (Off-Campus Book 3), The Goal (Off-Campus Book 4), and The Legacy (Off-Campus Book 5) by Elle Kennedy
- I would give the combined series a 4/5. They were incredible and easy reads, but some books lagged a little more than others. Overall, though the story was great, and I loved the characters. This was also my first ever hockey series, which I now understand the hype of. Too bad I still don’t know anything about hockey LOL
- Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow: A novel by Gabrielle Zevin
- 4/5. This was the book club book for my work, and I liked it, it just took me a bit to get into it. It reminded me a lot of how I felt reading Lessons in Chemistry where the book was good, it just wasn’t captivating, good. I did like how the story ended and the complexity of the characters, their relationships, and what happens really was good. Maybe the fact I didn’t know a lot about video games contributed to feeling like it dragged a bit? I’m not sure, but overall, it was a good book.
