Book of the Month - September

The books I read this month:

-       We Were on a Break – by Lindsey Kelk 5/5

-       Love is… - by Haley Hill 3.5/5

-        

Ok, so this has been my worst reading month EVER. I was very busy at work and then we had our CHESS performances, so a lot of late nights and no time for reading. Here is my fave of the month: 

We Were on a Break – Lindsey Kelk

The bit on the back:

Is it a break? Or is it a blip?

LIV and ADAM are in love.

LIV and ADAM are supposed to be getting engaged.

Until ADAM accidently suggests they take a break.

And LIV starts thinking …

Friends, family and bystanders all have an opinion and one complication leads to another as Adam and Liv try to muddle through in this hilarious, heartwarming comedy.

Are they split up - or are they on a break? What exactly are they allowed to get away with? And, most importantly, what do Liv and Adam really want?

My opinion:

This is Lindsey Kelk at her best! A hilarious and clever story full of excitement! The characters are fab, the storyline is great and Lindsey’s writing is on point!!! Just BRILLIANT!!!

My Opinion:

*Book provided by the publisher on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*

Lindsey Kelk is back, yay!!! She is one of my fave authors, so I’m always really excited about her books!

This story follows Liv and Adam. Liv is a vet and works for her father's veterinary practice and Adam is a carpenter. On a holiday in Mexico Adam planst o propose to Liv (she knows about it). However, the proposal nevers happens and then the drama starts. They see themselves on o break from their relationship, or is it more?! Are they even split up.

It’s a very important journey for both of them to go through. They have to figure out what they actually want in life and in a relationship. Liv’s did handing over the surgery to her, doesn’t make things easier, but the whole storyline was necessary fort hem to find out what’s important to them.

I fell in love with both characters immediately. They both have their flaws and sometimes they made some weird decisions, but that’s what makes them so relatable and authentic. The other characters surrounding these two built a great group around them, which makes the story really exciting! Oh and then there is Daniel Craig (the cat). I love this cat, definitely adds some sparks to the story.

I don’t even know where to start, when it comes to describing how I feel about this book. Lindsey’s writing is witty, romantic, unpredictable, hilarious, clever, energetic, bubbly, vivid and so much more. The storyline has a beautiful flow and is brilliantly put together. For the first time Lindsey involved the male’s perspective in a book and it puts the book on a whole new level. Liv and Adam take turns narrating and it was very interesting to follow Adam around. Lindsey did a great job there.

I devoured every second of this book and I think the ending is FAB and so is the title! The whole book is actually! :) 

Rating:

My possible cast:

Liv: Katie Hoaldridge

Adam: Zane Holtz

I’m Not a Morning Person

6 am, Monday morning, alarm goes off!!!

Yes, this exactly! I just want to stay in my comfy bed. Mondays are the worst, but also the other days. I mean I love my job, but getting up in the morning is so hard sometimes.

The funniest thing: I wasn’t like that at all as a child. I was the perfect example of a morning person. I got up immediately, smiled and talked like a crazy person. Even on weekends I got up really early, most oft he time with my brother, so we could play Nintendo and our parents wouldn’t find out, that was so much fun.

I still get up pretty fast, I don’t hit the snooze button, but that doesn’t mean that I actually want to get up. Everything just works really slowly ;). During breakfast I don’t want to disturbed at all. If someone speaks and wants to talk to me I barely react, I’m just not ready for a conversation yet.

Coffee helps me! As most of you know I love coffee, so I have one pretty soon in the morning. What also helps: water, I started drinking more water and that is just good to feel fresh and it’s good for your body.

In spring and summer it’s easier to get up, it’s so much harder in the winter months, when it’s still dark outside and the weather is bad.

There are a lot of tips online on how to be become a morning person, but seriously, if you’re not a morning person, don’t force it. Why should you change your whole routine for it?! We are all unique individuals with different personalities, some of use are night owls and work better in the evening and others do everything in the morning. This is what makes the world interesting and we shouldn’t all be the same. You learn to love with whatever your situation is. I mean I’m not a morning person, but I prefer working in the mornings, so that I can go home in he afternoon and enjoy other things! Otherwise I would just sleep until 9 am and the morning is gone, I don’t really see the point in this.

On weekends I tend to sleep until around 10 am, I like to lie in and maybe read for a while.

So here is my story about this topic. What about you? Are you a morning person?!
