Sometimes things just slip through the cracks. So here are some of my most anticipated books of 2022 that are on my radar. Let’s dive in!

Malibu Rising By Taylor Jenkins Reid
Genre: Fiction, Contemporary, Adult, Romance, Historical, Adult Fiction, Family
Pages: 369 pages
Publication Date: June 1st 2021
Publisher: Ballantine Books
Plot: Four famous siblings throw an epic party to celebrate the end of the summer. But over the course of twenty-four hours, their lives will change forever.
Malibu: August, 1983. It’s the day of Nina Riva’s annual end-of-summer party, and anticipation is at a fever pitch. Everyone wants to be around the famous Rivas: Nina, the talented surfer and supermodel; brothers Jay and Hud, one a championship surfer, the other a renowned photographer; and their adored baby sister, Kit. Together, the siblings are a source of fascination in Malibu and the world over—especially as the offspring of the legendary singer, Mick Riva.
The only person not looking forward to the party of the year is Nina herself, who never wanted to be the center of attention, and who has also just been very publicly abandoned by her pro tennis player husband. Oh, and maybe Hud—because it is long past time to confess something to the brother from whom he’s been inseparable since birth.
Jay, on the other hand, is counting the minutes until nightfall, when the girl he can’t stop thinking about promised she’ll be there.
And Kit has a couple secrets of her own—including a guest she invited without consulting anyone.
By midnight the party will be completely out of control. By morning, the Riva mansion will have gone up in flames. But before that first spark in the early hours before dawn, the alcohol will flow, the music will play, and the loves and secrets that shaped this family’s generations will all come bubbling to the surface.
Malibu Rising is a story about one unforgettable night in the life of a family: the night they each have to choose what they will keep from the people who made them… and what they will leave behind.

Hey guys!! I am doing Try A Chapter again for December. I haven’t decided if I’ll be doing it for the whole month or just until Christmas. I think I might do it up until Christmas but I will see. If things are too busy I probably won’t continue doing it. I know last year I did this up until December 30th. So let’s dive in to see what chapters I read through this week.
Hey guys, it’s time for another Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. The theme for this week is Freebie. So I’m able to pick an old prompt. I decided to pick my My Ten Most Recent Reads. I will be skipping the books I read in November since I just posted my November Wrap-up found here. So let’s dive in to see what my most recent reads are!
Hey guys! It is time for my November Movie Wrap-up. It’s been so long since I’ve done a movie wrap-up. I am bummed that I didn’t end up watching any Christmas movies yet. I do plan on watching some in December. I have been planning to watch some cheesy Christmas movies. I am excited for the newest Princess Switched movie on Netflix. I have been talking about it since I found out the date it was going to be released. That should be fun. Anyway, let’s dive in and see what I watched in November.
Hey guys! Today I am talking about the books I dnf’d this year. I’m once again surprised it isn’t too many books. I feel this year I stuck it out with a lot of books even though I wasn’t fully enjoying them. This is surprising to me because I have no problem dnfing a book. I think because I fell behind with reading in the beginning of the year I felt I needed to catch up so I stuck it out. Anyway, let’s dive in and see what books I dnf’d.

Synopsis: What do you do when your fake engagement starts to feel too real?
Aspiring clothes designer Victoria Scott spends her days working in a bar in Chelsea and her evenings designing vintage clothes, dreaming of one day opening her own boutique. But these aspirations are under threat from the new department store opening at the end of her road. She needs a Christmas miracle, but one is not forthcoming.
Oliver Russell’s Christmas is not looking very festive right now. His family’s new London department store opening is behind schedule, and on top of that his interfering, if well-meaning, mother is pressing him to bring his girlfriend home for a visit. A girlfriend who does not exist. He needs a diversion. Something to keep his mother from interfering while he focuses on the business.
When Oliver meets Victoria, he offers a proposition: pretend to be his girlfriend at the opening of his store and he will provide an opportunity for Victoria to showcase her designs. But what starts as a business arrangement soon becomes something more tempting, as the fake relationship starts to feel very real. But when secrets in Victoria’s past are exposed, will Oliver walk away, or will they both follow their hearts and find what neither knew they were looking for?
