WE THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My morning routine is breakfast with coffee and a book. Along with a warm blanket and kitty cuddles! I have devised a morning routine that makes the start of the day even better! How busy work has been, has allowed me to stay more level-headed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ourmadisonlife.com\/category\/book-reviews\/\"><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">See other book review<\/span>s &amp; recommendations<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where do I buy most of my books? Facebook Marketplace! Yep! Great place to save some Monday and get some books! Along with being a bit more eco-friendly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>December and a bit of November were a bit book month for me! I read a lot! Some of them are amazing, some of them I am not sure why I kept reading! There were even times I started da book and put it back down. Those I am not sharing here, though! As I may come back to them and try again, I may just have not been in the mood for them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1300\" height=\"868\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ourmadisonlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Massive-Book-Haul-c-Natural-Intuition-Photography-9.jpg\" alt=\"December Reading List, Must Read Books\" class=\"wp-image-3999\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2>A Stranger in the House<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3pWNXFF\"><strong><em>find it here on Amazon<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a fan of Shari Lapena, and her books are always fast reads that keep you entertained! This was the one that had me guessing more than the others I have read of hers.  It&#8217;s a quick read for mystery lovers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The Perfect Girlfriend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3ytbYbu\"><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">find it here on Amazon<\/span><\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This one was interesting and annoying. It was also sad how much this girl wanted to be the perfect girlfriend. I don&#8217;t suggest this one, but it&#8217;s not horrible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The Guest List<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3dSskkk\"><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">find it here on Amazon<\/span><\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of people recommended me this one. This one was beautifully written. I could see it as a movie while I read it. And the mystery level was GREAT! It keeps you guessing! Must read for sure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Night Road<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3s4MboF\"><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">find it here on Amazon<\/span><\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a major fan of Kristen Hannah, everything she rights is golden! This one was hard to put down! I cried a lot, and I am embarrassed to admit it! The ending is beautiful and says a lot about forgiveness! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The Silent Patient<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3yoFuix\"><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">find it here on Amazon<\/span><\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was another one that many people recommended, so I was excited to pick it up. Sadly I do not think it was worth all the hype. I found it hard to put down, but it wasn&#8217;t as good as people led me to believe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3EYp82i\"><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Caught<\/span><\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What can I say about this one &#8230; it keeps you guessing for sure. The biggest thing that I couldn&#8217;t get over was how it was written. It was written in a male chauvinist way that I hated with a passion. Maybe it bothered me because the book was written from the point of view of a woman. It&#8217;s an ok book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The Hate You Give<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3dXusqN\"><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">get it here on Amazon<\/span><\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This book also made me cry. We&#8217;ve all had this book for the last two years that could have quickly been talking about it. Even though it was written years before, this is a must-read of every human, from Teenage to Grandparents! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Summer Island<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/31ZKSfK\"><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">get it here on Amazon<\/span><\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another excellent Kristen Hannah book! This one is a beautiful and painful love story! That made me cry like a bit of baby way too many times! Do you see a theme? Kristen Hannah knows how to pull on the heartstrings for sure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Firefly Lane<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/30wjcik\"><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">get it here on Amazon<\/span><\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, if you have seen the Netflix version of this book, the book is nothing like the series! Well, little bits, but not much! While I read the book, I was waiting for things to happen in the series that didn&#8217;t happen in the book. If you like the series, read the book! It will give you insight into the characters and why they made the series the way they did!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">Any Book Recs You Have For Me?
