Sharing a roundup of the books I’ve read lately and whether they’re worth adding to your collection.
Hi friends! How are you? I hope you had an amazing weekend. We just got back from the best Disney cruise on the Treasure (full recap coming soon!) and I’m getting back into the swing of school, work, and life. It’s a real struggle not having twice-daily cleanings and food at our disposal at all times lol.
For today’s post, I wanted to share a roundup of the books I’ve read lately and whether they’re worth adding to your collection. I’ve read some great ones over the past month and am always looking for new additions to the TBR stack. If you’re reading anything you love right now, especially historical fiction or fluffy fiction with witty banter, please send your recommendations my way!
Books I’ve read lately
Dolly All the Time
I read this entire book on the cruise, and it was the perfect cupcake of a book. Not too heavy, just the perfect lil sweet bite.
The story follows Dolly, a single mom who works at her family’s fish market and ends up helping the richest man in town do some damage control by pretending to be his girlfriend. It’s very Cinderella meets Pretty Woman, and I.ate.it.up.
I’ve read a couple of books by Annabel Monaghan, and I highly recommend Nora Goes Off Script, too. If you’re looking for a bit of fluff in the absolute best way, read this one. 9/10
From Amazon:
If they start by pretending, can they end with something real?
Dolly Brick has never met a problem she couldn’t solve. Not when her mom left when she was twelve, and not at thirty-nine when she moves with her son back to Whitfield, Rhode Island, for the summer to keep her dad and brother from losing the family home.
So when she comes across Stewart Whitfield—annoyingly handsome scion of the Whitfield family—with a flat tire and at the wrong end of a very public, very humiliating breakup, it’s in her nature to help. But Stewart’s proposed arrangement ends up being more than either of them bargained for, because as public dinners and high-society benefits turn into sunset boat rides and kisses that hit her bloodstream like a ghost pepper, Dolly starts to feel something more than helpful. She’s never relied on anyone besides herself—can she really start now?
Countdown to Riches
The author of The Secret (an OG!) takes you through 21 days of practices designed to help you shift out of a scarcity mindset and create a more abundant relationship with money.
I’m a huge manifestation fan, and I’ve been working through the audio version of this book. I definitely think it’s worth a listen if you enjoy guided practices and meditations, especially the nighttime meditations. I’m not finished with it yet, but I’m really enjoying it so far. Rating so far: 8/10

Financial struggle is caused by one thing—our thoughts. To have a rich life
