Short and Sweet Book Reviews

Hi everyone! I am just popping in for a quick update. I am still not feeling well. I have been dealing with the insurance company for the past two weeks and its been rough. Please send prayers and any good vibes you can! One perk of being sick is that I have been reading a lot more!

Here are my recent reads:





Love In Maine by Connie Falconeri
I picked this book up at Shop Rite (of all places!) and I ended up absolutely loving it. It was the perfect sappy love story for spring. The story line was really cheesy but it was the perfect mix of romance and interesting characters. Sometimes I felt, as if I was piecing together some of the story line myself, but other times, it was really well written . Overall the book had a cute set up and by the end of it I wanted to know more! The ending was short sweet and kind of a surprise. I had to read it twice to full understand it. If you love a quick, romantic read, this is the book for you.

Balancing in Heels- Kristin Cavallari
I loved Laguna Beach and the Hills, so I was super excited to see Kristin had written a book! Her book was filled with great ideas (for new moms especially) and yummy recipes. Kristin has grown up a lot in the years since MTV and it really shows. Her excitement and passion about living a healthy life and keeping her growing family healthy . I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a healthy lifestyle. 

Approval junkie- Faith Salie I was really excited to read this book, Approval Junkie. I thought this would be an easy and funny read given that the author is a comedian. As I got into the book, I was sadly disappointed. I thought this would be filled with fun advice and silly anecdotes but no, its long, painful stories about he childhood, her teens and her "wasband", made me sad for her. I applaud her for her bare all attitude  but this book was a sad let down. It was hard to get through and I kept feeling embarrassed for her. You might like this book, if you actually know who Faith Salie is and you enjoy reading about someone's life who is more awkward than yours. .
I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.

I am currently reading The Pioneer Woman- Black Heels to Tractor Wheels by Ree Drummond.
