What I read in January

This year I'm really going to try and read more books.  I love to read but the past couple of months I haven't had much time and I have a bookcase full of books that need to be read.

So I'm going to start keeping track of all the books I read in a month and then do a mini review of my thoughts on them for you all:

For January I only read three books:

1. The Mistletoe Promise by Richard Paul Evans : I absolutely love Richard Paul Evans.  He is neck and neck with Nicholas Sparks and tells such sweet romantic stories but also stories about life and the people we meet and how things change our lives.  This book was a Christmas centered book abut two lonely people who make a contract to spend the four weeks leading up to Christmas going to each others social events as their dates.  There is a romance but they also have secrets hidden within themselves that have changed them.  It's a great read, check it out and the rest of Richard Paul Evans books! 

2. The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella : Sophie Kinsella is hilarious.  She wrote The Confessions of a Shopahaulic series and other books about women that are crazy but lovable.  When I read her books I end up laughing outloud because things are so ridiculous yet still believable and relatable.  This book was about a lawyer who is the best of the best, she makes a mistake and is fired.  She is devastated and winds up in a job as a housekeeper (which she knows nothing about).  Her housekeeping antics are hilarious and she is such an endearing character you are cheering for her to succeed.  

3. The Hidden Diary of Marie Antoinette: A Novel by Carolly Erikson : this was my least favorite of the three but still a decent read.  It is supposed to be the diary of Marie Anotoinette that she left behind.  It is fiction so not all historically correct but it is based on historical events.  I enjoyed getting in her head and imagining what she was thinking during her life.  She had many difficulties and changes and we l know the horrific end.   The book is a little cheesy at times but still a good read for anyone interested in Marie Antoinette.  

What have you all been reading lately?  I'm always looking for a good book, leave suggestions below!
