I am actually shocked there are no debut books this month. I have noticed that July has less new releases than other months but between the main picks and the add-ons, four of the authors are repeats. There also is not a single historical fiction pick which is very surprising to me! However, they did…

June 2022 Book of the Month
I feel a little disappointed in the picks this month. Mainly because I have 5 out of the main picks, so I really only had one book to choose from which is a ‘me’ problem. I’m extremely surprised we only saw 1 add-on this month and it’s from a repeat author. I really thought we’d…
Layla
I’ve only read two Colleen Hoover books. One being Verity and this one, Layla, I have yet to venture into the world of traditional CoHo romance books and while I’ve been meaning to dive into that world, Verity has set my CoHo bar wayyyy high! Like Verity, Layla, is a mixture of genres. In this…
In a Holidaze
In a Holidaze is my very first Christina Lauren book. While I know their books are wildly popular, I’m not a huge romance fan and had yet to dive into any of them. When Jordan and I decided that we wanted to read something ‘fun’ and ‘Christmasy’ for our December Let’s Read Rant and Repeat…

Weekly Workout Schedule | October 5, 2020
Week 6 of the Body Fit Balance 12 week challenge and week 6 of my half marathon training is here! Week 5 was a great week for working out. I had one of my best runs I’ve done in a long time on Friday. It was 3.5 miles and on the slower side, but I…
Weekly Workout Schedule | September 21, 2020
I’m feeling like I’m getting into a good workout routine. Before COVID I had a solid routine. I would go to Orange Theory four times a week, and then add in 2- 3 runs per week. Once COVID hit though, I fell off the wagon, hard. I’m nowhere near where I want to be, but…
The Last Story of Mina Lee
My Thoughts Margot’s mother isn’t answering her phone. Margot’s mother, even though she only has land lines and cell phone she doesn’t know how to work, always answers the phone. When Margot shows up to surprise her mother, she finds her mother dead. While cause of death is ruled an accident, Margot is determined to…
August 2020 Wrap Up
Closing out August with a bang, or at least trying too. I’m hoping to finish my 11th book for the month, which is shocking, since I was in a huge reading slump for the first week or two of the month. Things have started to cool down again in San Antonio with COVID, and we’re…
