My August reads
My August reads, I couldn’t believe how much I read in August when I pulled the stack for the review. 6 Books, I think that is a record for me. but its fair to say I did was the first week August on vacations I had quit some time to read. As well since I’ve been on vacation I notice how much less I actually give myself time for myself. So, instead of always work work work, I decided to read a bit more and do more for me. Its finding the right balance, and right now I need more reading and relaxing. This probably will change again soon, but do what is best for you and your soul.
So lets start with the book review.
Happy reading!!
Then she was gone, when I read the back of the book I was intrigued. This is not a book I usually read. It is about a kid that disappears while on her way to the library. The police can’t find a lead. The parents are two siblings hitting it hard, the family breaks apart. 10 years after her disappearance the mom meets someone new. The person has a daughter who looks extremely similar to her lost daughter. She finds out that there are a lot of similarities between the life from the new boyfriend and her family is. She is finding clues that might help her finally finding out what happen to her daughter. The ending is definitely not what I expected.
I would say at the beginning the book was a bit slow but it half way through I couldn’t out it away anymore. It was a pager turner.
Jill Mansell is one of my favorite Author, but I have to say that with tis book I had some problems finding it interesting. I started the book three times and twice I put it back after a couple pages reading. I just couldn’t get the hang of it. But then I didn’t have a book to read anymore, so this book it was. It got actually quit good a quarter in. The story is about a woman and her daughter, they living life as it comes. The daughter is pretty good in school, only A’s.

I love a good Island booking the summer time. Makes me feel like on vacation somewhere on the beach on an island. This book is placed on Block Island, a disgraced author with nowhere to go takes the offer from a friend to look after the house on Block Island. He hopes he stays anonymous there. he for sure does not plan to fall in love with the local woman who owns a bakery and has a daughter. His neighbor has a secret as well. There are a lot of secret on the small island. Everything goes fine until his father a high praise Author is set to do a reading in the local bookstore and his mother decided to visit him unplanned, she just shows up with his son.
This book was fun to read and you couldn’t wait to see what happen next.
When I saw this book from one of my favorite Author I couldn’t wait to start reading this book. This book is funny and has some of the ohhh my gosh moments I love.

She still works super part time in a dog day care. An opportunity arise for her she can’t say no to, but might have to since she does not has the money for it. during her recovery she falls in love with her physical therapist.
