I love when you read one good book & then it puts you into the mood to want to read again. I currently have a good stack of pretty good books to read so I'm excited to get back into it & divulge into all these different worlds these authors create. My goal is to give myself a list of books to read per month & whatever I don't get through to push it with next month's list of books. Also if y'all don't follow me on Instagram do so because as soon as i'm done my book is when I give my two cents about the book on my story.

I currently have a pretty hefty list of books & keep buying more but i'm pretty confident I can read some of them in about a day or two especially if they are captivating. So having like 7 books to read shouldn't be too much for me. One book however I will be reading all month; it's an inspirational book that needs time for me to process the information & learn from it.

So the books I currently have to read are:

• Big Magic - Elizabeth Gilbert (gonna read this slowly all month)
• Lie to Me - J.T. Ellison (random book & new author that I chose at Chapters)
• Fool Me Once - Harlan Coben (one of my fav authors; read almost all of his books)
• Invisible - James Patterson (fav author that has sooo many books I need to read)
• The Dark Half - Stephen King (always wanted to read his books so starting with this)
• The Tourist - Olen Steinhauer (from my last book haul & a little slow but gonna push through)

I currently have 5 books on my to-be-read pile & they have just been sitting around my room needing some attention. I used to be a huge book nerd reading every chance I got, but got too busy & have stopped reading. This year I'd like to get back into it & maybe expand my ever-growing library because I would like to have one the size of Beauty & the Beast or Series of Unfortunate Events; I got a  long way to go so I need to get started on it now.



My favourite type of books are mystery/thriller, drama, action & adventure, fantasy & comics from time to time. I honestly will read anything that has an interesting synopsis; I need to be dragged into the book. Sometimes I will go to Chapters or the public library & walk around reading back covers (which sometimes are inside the book sleeves) for a little blurb to see if it captures my attention. I also believe that if I'm going to buy a book, I'd like it to be something interesting enough for me to want to read again in a few years when I forget everything that happens.

My all-time favourite author would definitely have to be Harlan Coben. There was a time that I read all of his books because I was super obsessed when my friend showed me one of his books (I currently am 5 or 6 books away from reading them all). However, once I finished all the ones he had out at the time, I needed a new author until his next book came out which led me to discovering James Patterson. These two authors are mystery/thriller masterminds that have you soooo hooked you can't stop until you know what happens. I have finished their books in 2, sometimes 1 day because I had to know what was going on & could not put the book down; i'd be reading it in bed, while eating, & even in the washroom!

Then it it started to get hard to finding James Patterson books at the library so I started going to Chapters & reading covers to find another interesting author I could fall in love with. That's how I found Chevy Stevens. She is a Canadian author, from Vancouver AND a New York Times bestselling author. Her book Those Girls, sounded interesting so I bought it & finished it so quickly. Unfortunately, I lent the book to someone & never saw it again & forgot about her. The other day though, I was in Chapters looking for a notebook & just browsing & saw her book Never Let You Go on display. Seeing her book made me realize I really need to get back into reading her books as well as discovering some more cool authors.

However, I currently have 5 books I need to get through before buying any other books & these are the ones I have. Here is a the little blurb written on the back of the books:

After Anna by Alex Lane

   A girl is missing. Five years old, taken from outside her school. She has vanished, traceless. The police are at a loss; her parents are beyond grief. Their daughter is lost forever — perhaps dead, perhaps enslaved. But the biggest mystery is yet to come: one week after she was abducted, Anna is returned. She has no memory of where she has been. And this, for her mother, is just the beginning of the nightmare...

Tainted by Brooke Morgan

But the charming, and enigmatic Englishman has blown into her small Cape Cod town like a brisk summer wind off the bay. He sweeps Holly off her feet, and is soon touching the lives of everyone she deeply cares about. But is Jack the considerate, concerned gentleman he appears to be — or is there a very different creature lurking below the surface? Has a monster entered her life… and how far will Holly have to go to save the person she loves more than anyone else in the world?
