If The Broom Fits | Sarah Sutton

Mehso-so

Next 2 books of the „Love in Fenton County“ series. I didn‘t enjoy the novella ‚If the Broom fits‘ as much as the other books, but I really liked ‚Can‘t catch my Breath‘. The chemistry between Sarah Sutton‘s characters is always palpable and I will probably pick up everything she writes!

I enjoyed this book a lot, loved the characters and especially the prayers.
I thought Western weren‘t my thing, but I love to try new things (okay, only book related, I actually don‘t like trying new things 😬) and I will definitely check out other books from the series and like I said in a previous post I already put other books by Kristina Hall on my TBR. 😊

I absolutely LOVED this book but what originally drew me in wasn‘t the blurb but the beautiful cover 😍 It took me some time to design my journal page but I‘m quite happy with how it turned out. All three flowers are mentioned in the book and in some way they originally connected Muireall and Niall with each other.

This is about a totally different book and I‘m getting really annoyed that so many books aren‘t listed here 🙄
So… about this book:
I really enjoyed it, it had everything you could wish for in a sweet and clean romance - chemistry, connection, humor, a whole lot of drama, family bonds and lessons learned and of course a happy ending! 💜

So many books I loved recently, I thought it‘s time for another DNF and I seriously hated this one… extremely shallow and full of innuendo, I am so glad I never stumbled over YA books like this when I was a teenager myself…

Finally my review for Honeysuckle Breeze 🐝💜
Took me a while to finish my journal pages, but I love how it turned out, I think it is my favorite yet and the time I spent on this review reflects how much I loved the book and its strong faith messages that spoke to me on a very personal level.

* I received an eARC of this book.

Godwin‘s books paint the cutest pictures in my mind, so I put a few of them on paper.
I read Southern Snow last month and just loved the characters, how they got together after many years and most of all the strong faith messages!

If you want to know why I drew all these random items - read the book! I wholeheartedly recommend it!!! ❄️🍑

2 DNFs from last year. I was sad to give up the 1. but I just couldn‘t get into the story. The 2. annoyed me a lot…
Before my KU trial I only ever DNFed 1 book in my whole life🙈😅 But I read a lot through 3KU months & there were quite a few books that weren‘t a good fit. Finishing a book that upsets/bores me is a waste of time. Reading so many books with a time limit helped me not feeling guilty for it.

Yesterday was release day for Tested! I loved this Princess and the Pea retelling, it has such lovely characters and I actually learned a lot about myself through this book - I am way more shallow than I‘d like to admit. 🙈
This heroine though is not, Aine is a wonderful character and so is Rian. Absolutely recommend this book and can‘t wait for the next book in the series!

Book 2 of the Grove Valley High was a surprise. It has great character growth and even though I felt sorry for Abby in book 1, I didn‘t expect to understand and even like her as much as I did!

This is about the prequel novella, not the book ‚the stand-in boyfriend‘ !
I really hated the mc of the novella, can‘t recommend it at all 🙈

This was not really the right book for me, but I still love Kasie West‘s writing, the narrator did a great job and I think it deserves 4 stars even if it wasn‘t a good fit for me personally.

Again - wrong book tagged because ‚protect me not‘ wasn‘t listed.
It‘s another DNF from last year. I just couldn‘t get into the story, I didn‘t like the MC and it seemed more Disney like than a real fairy tale retelling. Not my cup of tea. 🤷🏻‍♀️

My least favorite book by Kasie West because I pretty much hated the mmc and how he got away with his selfish behavior 😠 narrator did a great job, I usually enjoy Kasie west‘s writing and there were a few great side characters, but the ending left me pretty upset 🙈

Sad to say I really didn‘t like this book and DNFed at 72%. Expected a clean and sweet book, like the 5 YA I‘ve read by the author. This was neither sweet nor clean but extremely shallow and full of foul language. :/

Sarah Sutton has a „sneak-peak-quel“ to her book „What are friends for“ if you subscribe to her newsletter and I actually liked it a bit more than the novel itself. 😄 I won‘t do reviews for bonus content anymore, but since this (and another one) were already in my reading journal I thought I‘d post it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is a cute YA romance that got me looking into Sarah Sutton‘s other books. This is not my favorite of her‘s but I liked it enough and some of her books turned out to be favorite reads for me in the YA genre.

A few DNFs from last fall (star ratings are only for me). I got into YA romance because I thought they were all clean (🤪🙈). I still like the genre but I‘m so happy I discovered that there are so many more clean romance books than I originally thought. 🤗 These books are clean but not my thing for other reasons.
