I’ve always loved reading, ever since I was little! I remember my parents made me bring a book on our family vacations so we could read on the plane, in the car, on the beach, etc. Now as an adult, I try and carve out time daily to read a chapter or three! I think it’s so important to keep your imagination going, your brain stimulated, and learn new words and engage in new stories. I especially love fiction, however, have recently been diving into some “self help” books that I think are applicable to the realities of dilly life. Today I’m sharing a book review of some easy reads that you will not want to put down…
Do you prefer reading from a Kindle/iPad or an actual hardcover book? I prefer to have all my books stored in one place on my iPad (and read through the Kindle App). This way, when I travel I don’t have to carry those extra pounds in my carry-on, AND when I want to refer back to a book to recommend it to a friend, all the books are in one place.
After sporadically sharing my favorite reads on Instagram, I had an overwhelming response to save my book recommendations to an Instagram “highlight”, which I have done. I figured it’s best to also have them in a place where you can refer back to them if need be! The books I’m recommending today are great for any upcoming vacation you may have planned because you can really dive into the story immediately. I only shared my favorite page turners that I know you’ll love that’ll keep you coming back for more! Let me know if you like blog posts like this, and I’m happy to share more 🙂
Atomic Habits: This is the book I just started yesterday and so far so good! I’ve heard amazing reviews about it and am intrigued by how they break down daily habits that can change your life in the long run. This book talks about strategies and real life examples of the importance and value of making small improvements on a daily basis. I’m ready to learn practical strategies that will teach me exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results!
The Unhoneymooners: This is my latest fiction read and it is so hysterical that the 300+ pages only took me a matter of a couple days. I could not put this romantic fiction down! It’s the story of an unlucky twin with a major plot twist you won’t see coming!
The Last Time I Saw You: If you’re into fictional thrillers and mysteries OH MY GOSH, 100% you must read this! The same authors as the next book, which both were at the top of the New York Times Best Seller’s List for months! Trust me when I say this book will keep you on the edge of your seat with shocking twists and you’ll be addicted to what happens next! This book is my far my favorite that I’ve read in the last 6 months!
The Last Mrs. Parrish: This is another psychological thriller fictional book that you will not want to put down! There are twists, turns, and a captivating storyline that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat.
Body Love: A celebrity health and wellness consultant @bewellbykelly shares her secrets to freeing yourself from food drama or diets and tuning into your bodies needs by utilizing her famous “Fab 4” mindset. A very interesting read filled with tips, recipes, and more on how you can look good by eating great!
When Life Gives You Lululemons: This is essentially a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada but WAY BETTER! A story about housewives in Greenwich, Connecticut and how things aren’t always what they seem. A very entertaining plot line that you won’t be able to put down! Another one of my top books I’ve read in the last few months: a must read!
Winter in Paradise:Â This is a book written by one of my favorite fictional authors, Elin Hilderbrand. She has the best writing style, easy to read, very enjoyable, and the way she interprets characters is unmatched. This one is no different and definitely a cliff hanger! In fact, I loved this book so much, I went on to read the next one…
The Perfect Couple: Another Elin Hilderbrand book that I read while vacationing on Nantucket (see my Nantucket travel guide here), which is actually where the story takes place. I could not, I repeat- I could not, put this book down! After actually visiting a few of the real locations to talks about in the book, I actually felt like I was a character in the story itself. This is a fictional story that takes place during Nantucket wedding season until tragedy strikes. Elin Hilderbrand did an amazing job at writing this book, and she is actually dubbed “the queen of beach reads”… definitely worth checking out!
The Rumor: Another Elin Hilderbrand book (can you tell I’m obsessed?) where gossip escalates on the small island of Nantucket and a friendship is tested. An engaging story that’ll keep you wanting more, that is perfectly illustrated to put yourself right into the storyline itself.
