I love to read, but I don’t have as much time to read at this season in my life. Right now, I’m all about reading “fluffy books” – that’s what I call easy and quick reads that don’t take much mental or emotional energy. Here are a few of my favorites from last year:
I read all 26 books in this series and wished there were more! This is a wholesome book series about a lady who restores antique quilts. Each book contains a mystery surrounding the quilt. The characters are instantly likeable, the stories are (mostly) believable, and the books are really easy and fun to read. They also made me want to start quilting!
I haven’t finished this series yet (I’ve read the first four), but it’s similar to the Patchwork Mysteries. Annie inherits her grandmother’s house in Maine, Grey Gables. She moves from Texas to Grey Gables to fix the house up and sell it, but finds mysteries in the old house that keep making her think about staying in Grey Gables. These books are fun to read, a bit predictable, but if you’re looking for quick and easy feel-good books, these are it!
Now this series was my absolute favorite! It is about a group of women that call themselves the Potluck Club. They get together once a month to gossip pray. There is mystery and suspense, lots of humor (I laughed out loud a few times), and love stories. This series had everything! I was so sad when I read the last book and really wished there would be more.
This was a really interesting young adult series by Ally Condie. I couldn’t put them down. This is a dystopian story about The Society in which kids are “matched” at age 17 with their life partners. Cassia, the main character, is matched with Xander, her best friend. But then another match flashes across the screen – Kye, an outcast at their school. Cassia questions whether The Society is all that it seems to be, and Cassia, Xander, and Kye all have storylines in this trilogy. You can read more here, and it will make you want to get the book!
And that was all I read last year that I can remember! Hopefully this year I’ll get to some more books. Do you have any recommendations for me?
