I didn't make any resolutions this year. I never stick with them anyway. I'm not sure that anyone ever really does. I did cut out sugar but I did that right after Christmas so that it did not feel like a resolution. I want that to be permanent and there is just something about making goals at the beginning of the year that makes them more difficult to follow. There is one goal that I have decided to sign up for and that is the Goodreads reading challenge. I said that I would like to read 150 books this year. I feel a little behind as I have only completed 3 books the first week and know that my life is about to get busier as school starts again in a couple days. This somehow feels different to me as I know there will not be any guilt if I do not hit this number but it sounds like a good amount to shoot for. What are your goals for the year?
Driftwood Bay by Irene Hannon is a sweet and inspirational story. This is part of the Hope Harbor series but is the first one that I have read. I feel that this makes a good stand alone book but found myself becoming curious about the side characters in the story and would love to read the others in the series. Jeannette has created a new life for herself in the town of Hope Harbor. She owns a lavender farm and tea shop and spends most of her time alone. Her quiet world is shaken up when Logan moves in next door. Not only does he have a little girl, but also a trouble making dog that force their worlds to collide. Alongside the story of Jeannette and Logan is a beautiful and heartbreaking story of a family that has escaped persecution in Syria. Everyone in the story has their own heartbreak, but they all come together to create a new life and new relationships. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more books from Irene Hannon.
