Review
This series was recommended to me in a book FB group. The person told me to immediately put all 3 of the books in the series on hold at the library because it’s so good that you’ll want to read the next one right away. So I listened to her wise words and she definitely wasn’t wrong.
This book is such an adventure from start to finish. I was upset because when I was looking at the 2nd book on GR I accidentally read some of the synopsis and it spoiled what happened for me. BUT there was still so much anticipation and lead up to the ending.
This book will not disappoint you if you love fantasy.
July was an amazing month in books for me with 15 books read in total! While I was studying for my part 1 boards on July 3 – all I wanted to do was read books. I allowed myself to when I needed a study break of course, but when I finished my boards I just kept reading and reading! Lately, I haven’t been interested in watching shows, dramas, or movies which is strange but I’m not complaining.
I started listening to audiobooks back in June when I finally got connected to my library and saw how many they had. I was going on long walks so audiobooks were the perfect thing to listen to. I couldn’t find Verity anywhere so I ended up getting a free month on audible and it was the first book I downloaded.
This book seriously had me thinking about it for a week afterwards trying to figure out what was right. I’ve been loving psychological thrillers this year and if you do too – I highly recommend this book to you.
I listened to this book for a challenge where I had to read a book with ice cream on the cover. It was only okay for me – the romance was frustrating. You can read my full review here.
My 2nd audible pick since I saw @nerdoutwithmybookout recommend it on instagram! I loved the urgency this book portrayed and the creepiness from the husband. The adrenaline from not being able to trust anyone was what kept me going. I can’t wait to continue this series!
There has been a lot of hype about Lock Every Door so I knew I had to read it. I heard other readers saying that they liked it but enjoyed his other books more. I loved this book so I really look forward to reading his others as well!
After reading The Kiss Quotient in January I was waiting and waiting for this book. Helen Hoang definitely delivered! I wasn’t sure how she’d go about writing a 2nd book but I liked that it was kind of related to the first but very much it’s own book. She is so amazing at showing the hardships of loving and trusting someone.
I thought this book sounded like it had a really interesting premise but once I read it, I realized it was really slow. I can deal with slow paced books if it works up to something incredible at the end but even though it had a “twist,” it wasn’t super surprising.
I finished the first book on August 1st and now I am working my way through the 2nd. This series is so incredible so far. I didn’t anticipate loving a book about faeries so much but someone recommended it to me and now I can’t put it down.
Sarah Dessen has been my favorite author since I was in middle school/early high school. I re-read Keeping the Moon last month and it made me remember how I love the simple pace her books take. I can’t wait to read her newest book!
Since I started my hospital rotations I have been living in scrubs. My fiance’s mom bought me some wonderwink scrubs and they have been my favorite brand thus far. They are soft and comfortable and they look sleek and flattering on your body.
If you’re going to be standing and running around all day, you NEED good quality supportive shoes. Being in podiatry I am shocked at the amount of my colleagues who wear terrible shoes for their feet yet they recommend patients to wear these hoka types of shoes. I can feel the support these shoes give me since I have a collapsable arch and they allow me to stand for a long time comfortably. Also amazing for walking and running.
Overnight oats
I have finally found my favorite recipe for overnight oats and I have been eating them quite often.
1/3 cup oats

1 tbsp chia seeds
1 scoop protein powder (pescience peanut butter cookie)
1/2 banana
2 tbsp peanut butter
Mix 1st 4 ingredients together and put in the fridge overnight. Add the banana and peanut butter in the morning and enjoy.
