February Book Review
It’s one of my favorite post of the month and I am a tidbit behind, but hey…progress not perfection….that is my motto.
What do you like to read at the beach?
February is always a tricky month because the boys activities ramp up with soccer, other sports, and JP always travels with acting so I get a bit behind. Hence the reason I only got three books in due to the chaos, but I have to say all three were amazing! I think you will LOVE them all too! So if you are looking for a good read for spring break, check out my February reads and get yourself a good book. Fair warning, two are fiction, super easy, and fun to read, and one is a book about embracing who you are. I like to think of it as a self improvement book, not self help because hey….nobody is perfect and we could all use a little bit of improvement especially when it comes to our heart and feeling worthy! Hence the reason behind Worthy Heart. Point is, my last book might not be the best beach read unless you are a spiritual, self improvement junkie like myself.
So lets get down to business! First up I read Castle of Water by Dane Huckelbridge. Oh. My. Lord. This book was so good! It is all about love, loss, and pure survival. I was so fascinated by the survival instincts that truly kick in when we need them most. From surviving a plane crash, being on a deserted island, illness, to losing the love of your life and more. This book was fascinating and so well written. It is suspenseful, emotional, funny, and thought provoking all in one. Basically it is about two strangers who survive a plane crash and you watch their stories unfold as they hold on to the hope of being rescued. I cannot tell you how much I did not want this book to end. I was so sad when it did. I fell in love with it and I know you will too! As my friend Paige says, “I love it so bad!” Get it! You won’t be sorry!
Another great book I read this month was How to Walk Away by Katherine Center. You guys, this book was so spooky for me because I really identified with the main character Margaret. When you start to read it you might be asking yourself why and I will tell you and try not to give to much away.
Margaret is terrified of flying! Me too!
Margaret is in love with a pilot. Met too!
Margaret wants to have a camp for kids with disabilities….for those of you who did not know me before marriage and kids, this was a dream of mine…who knows….maybe that dream will still come true.
Margaret is the kind of person who can find joy even in the darkest of moments. I like to think I have that ability too!
