Top 5 Wednesday: Rainy Day Reads

Hello all my fellow readers :)

It's once again time for a Top 5 Wednesday Post, and I can honestly say that I am extremely excited for all of the April 2016 topics.

This week's topic is: Top 5 Rainy Day Reads.

To anyone who doesn't know me, curling up with a book in comfy, lounge clothes, and a cup of tea, is my absolute favorite thing to do when the weather is dreary outside. There's something about curling up in my favorite chair, by my favorite window, that's even more comforting with the addition of raindrops hitting the windowpane. As such, there's many, many books I could have included on this list, and it was hard to pick only five favorites, but here are my picks for the five books that I always seem to want to read when it's rainy outside:


1) Twilight by Stephenie Meyer:



I have honestly read Twilight more times than I could probably count, and yet it is still my absolute, favorite book to curl up with when it's raining or snowing outside. While I often don't reread the entire series when I do read it, I always seem to enjoy curling up with this one again and again.


2) Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins:

It's no secret that this is my all time favorite book, and that I could literally read it anywhere, and anytime, but I especially love reading it when it's raining outside. I think the fact that it's set in Paris just goes so well with a rainstorm, that it just makes it that much more magical to me when I reread it.


3) The Cedar Cove Series by Debbie Macomber:

This is honestly another series that I can't count how many times I've read it. It's such a comforting book series, full of small town happenings, delicious food, and delightful characters, and all of this becomes even more comforting with the addition of gross weather outside. Debbie Macomber is one of my all time favorite authors, and this series remains my absolute favorite by her.

4) Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

I fell in love with Little Women from the first time I read it when I was eight. Ever since then, it's become one of my favorite books to read over and over again, and once again, is a book that becomes even more comforting to read when it's raining outside.

5) Magnolia by Kristi Cook:

Lastly, Magnolia is my fifth pick. I love love love the romance story in this book, and it has my favorite opening line to a book ever! However, because a great deal of this book focuses around a storm system that traps the two main characters together, I love reading it even more when it's raining, or storming outside.


Those are my Top 5 Rainy Day Reads. :)

I can't wait to read everyone else's picks!

Thanks for reading everyone, and I'll be back on Friday with a new book review.

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

First Line Friday: The Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...

I'm excited to be taking part in another edition of First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books , but I'm also excited to be featuring one of my favorite author's new releases for this week's edition. First Line Friday simply consists of sharing the first line from the book you're currently reading, and today I'm going to be sharing from Mandi Blake's new book, which released last week. Remembering the Cowboy by Mandi Blake: About the Book: They have unfinished business. She just can’t remember what it is. Camille Vanderbilt is headed back home to Wyoming with one goal: find her old best friend and give him a piece of her mind for ghosting her six years ago. She won’t let anyone stand in her way… until a deer runs into the road and causes her to wreck and forget almost everything. Noah Harding lives a simple life as a firefighter and rancher until Camille cras...
