THE BOOK LIST | #6

Here's what I read in December:
AFTER I DO BY TAYLOR JENKINS REID
"Ryan and I are two people who used to be in love.
What a beautiful thing to have been.
What a sad thing to be."
Let me gush about the perfection of AFTER I DO for a moment. This book. This. Book. I felt as though I crawled into Ryan and Lauren's life. I felt their pain. I felt their frustrations and indifference and joy. I laughed. I cried. Oh how I cried! This is my favorite TJR read yet, and she has cemented herself as one of my new favorite authors of all time.
TALKING AS FAST AS I CAN BY LAUREN GRAHAM
This book was exactly what I expected it to be. I could easily have glossed over some of it, but that's okay, because really, I just wanted to hear about Gilmore Girls and her writing career. Done and done.
NAILED BY STACI HART
As a big fan of Staci Hart's, I knew I would devour this little, sexy novella. Four stories. Four sets of strangers. Four sexual encounters. I mean, who hasn't fantasized about such a thing before? These stories were short and delicious ... just like I knew they'd be.
FOREVER, INTERRUPTED BY TAYLOR JENKINS REID
At the time of this review, I have read three of Reid's novels, and I can say, without a doubt in my mind, that all three have made me cry. What a truly, truly wonderful story. And what an inspiring, yet heartbreaking ending.
MILK AND HONEY BY RUPI KAUR
I loved this collection of poetry, mainly because it is just how I like my poems; short, direct and powerful. This book is one I'm happy to own and will be reading over and over again.
SWEETBITTER BY STEPHANIE DANLER
Ok, where do I start? I was on the library waiting list for this book for MONTHS. When it finally came, I was so excited and read the first section with gusto. But then, despite the beautiful language and the intriguing cast of characters, I had to continually push myself to keep reading.
