I'm also not a book collector and get most of the books I read from my library. I'm very blessed to have an amazing library. The Cheese Shop series is so great. My favorite book in the series so far is Case of the Bleus Book 4. If you like cheese cozies, the Grilled Cheese series by Linda Reilly is also fantastic. I enjoyed The Lost Library. The cover got me with the cat and the little library. It's great to read for Middle Grade March. I hope you enjoy all of the books you read!
@Laura_Reads17 күн бұрын
Thanks so much! Our library system is fantastic. Hasn’t been a book I’ve wanted to read yet that I couldn’t borrow from them! I’ll have to try the Grilled Cheese series; I’ve heard that recommendation from a couple others too!
@LibrariesandLattes17 күн бұрын
So fun to see your bookshelf! I have a problem of using the library so much that I usually only get through 1-2 of my physical books each month, haha. Definitely read the Part of Your World Series in order!! I just finished the series (Just For The Summer was a 5-star read for me) and I think it will hit so much harder that way. I want to read The Four Winds but I’m scared because I’ve heard it’s so bleak, and I think I already mentioned that The Great Alone is a favorite 😊❤️
@Laura_Reads17 күн бұрын
I’ll definitely be sure to read the Part of Your World Series in order then! I was thinking that’s probably best too. I’m intimidated by The Four Winds for sure-had that one over a year and still haven’t picked it up! Lol 😆 Thanks for watching, Chelsea!

I watched this the other day and forgot to comment! Proud of you for finally reading the first ACOTAR book, haha. I know everyone probably says that the second book is the best and to push onward, and I 100% agree with that, but also totally get it if you don’t keep reading. I loved the humor in Finlay Donovan as well! And you have me really wanting to read Death Valley, I haven’t heard much about it but it sounds interesting for sure!! Glad you liked Tom Lake and Vera Wong too 😍

Haha thank you!! I think I’ll read the next one in the ACOTAR series, but I’ll probably read it in physical format instead of audiobook! Death Valley I’m sure isn’t for everyone but it’s so good!! 💕

I really enjoyed Finlay Donovan is Killing It. It was such a quick read, and engaging enough, despite flaws, that I went ahead and used a giftcard to get the second in the series (haven't read it, yet, though). I really struggle with Frieda McFadden. People recommend her stuff to me all of the time, but I've been disappointed every time. I continue to love your reviews! You are killing your reading challenges! I'm proud if I can get through three books in a month 🙃
@Laura_ReadsАй бұрын
June was closer to my normal pace-I think I finished 4, maybe 5. Lol 😆 I needed a break after May’s Readathons! I just don’t think Frieda McFadden is the author for me. I don’t hate her books, but they just don’t wow me the way that other thrillers have! Thanks for watching!! 💕
