4 Spring Reads
This post is sponsored by HTP Books, but all opinions are my own.
Reading is our favorite year-round activity. We can't help but love the Spring releases though. This is typically when new books by our favorite authors are released and the covers transition from snow bedecked to a more brighter, beach-y vibe. And we are so here for that.
Today we are sharing four great new releases that you are going to want to put on your Spring TBR piles ASAP. These are some of our all time favorite authors - the ones we pick up whenever we need "a really good" read, and don't want to waste any precious reading time on something we won't love. From thriller to romance - this stack has got your Spring reading needs covered.
4 SPRING READS
The Summer Getaway by Susan Mallery
Mallery is one of the queens of the beach read, and in her latest novel we take a peek at the mother/daughter relationship. The Summer Getaway follows a single mom and her need to getaway. Her children each have their own lives and their own demands, but she longs for freedom. Even if it is for just a short time. But as the center unit of her family, she quickly learns she can't escape them for long.
Read this if you enjoy fictional dramas set in a gorgeous backdrop. Think Elin Hilderbrand, Susan Wigg, and Nancy Thayer.
Summer at the Cape by RaeAnne Thayne
Thayne always gives us stories that pull at our heart strings and right off the bat Summer at the Cape does just that. The Porter sisters have experienced so many family hardships, that when Cami learns that her younger sister (and twin) has died in an accident, she rushes back to her hometown to see what can be salvaged of the remaining family relationships. Each sister must come to terms with each other, and their mother. Cami also must decide if romance with an old flame should be reignited.
Read this if you enjoy fictional drama with a side of romance. Think Debbie Macomber and Barbara Delinsky.
An Honest Lie by Tarryn Fisher
An Honest Lie by best selling author Tarryn Fisher is a total page turning suspense novel about a Vegas girls weekend gone wrong. This gripping and twisting story will keep you on the edge of your seat as you read that not all secrets from the past can stay there.
Read this if you enjoy novels like The Push, Girl A, and Pretty Little Wife.
The Wrong Victim by Allison Brennan
Brennan gives us the third book in her Quinn & Costa series with The Wrong Victim. A group takes a chartered boat in the San Juan Islands, but twenty minutes after their departure it explodes. Now it's a race against time as the FBI has to determine whether this was a targeted act of domestic terrorism, or was one person the target and the others mere victims. With few clues to go on, are they able to stop the killer before they strike again?
Read this if you enjoy political and organized crime thrillers.
How amazing do all four of these novels sound? Which one will you be grabbing to read first?
Psst...these would also make great gift ideas! We plan on sticking them in our girlfriends beach getaway goodie bags!

Book Club: April 2022
Another month is here and you know what that means...Book Club Day!!! Last month started gearing up for end of year craziness for school and sports, so neither of us got to read as many books as we had hoped. But, the ones we did read we really liked! We're excited for summer break which means lazy afternoons by the pool with a book in hand, but until then we will squeeze in some reading when we can.
WHAT WE READ...
CARRIE BETH
I wrapped up this month with Love, Lists & Fancy Ships by Sarah Grunder Ruiz. Jo is a yacht stewardess who is working her way through a 30 by 30 bucket list leading up to her 30th birthday.
A family tragedy combined with some miscommunication land her taking care of her teenage nieces for the summer and the three of them become a team trying to work through the list while working through their grief. Kissing a stranger as one of her list items leads her to meet a potential love interest if she is willing to open herself up to love. This story was super cute and had some deeper messages and I really enjoyed it.
JEN
The relationship between Julia and her grandmother is lovely and endearing. As the novel unfolded I realized their relationship was the true love story being written.
From start to finish The Wedding Veil is a treat in family legacy, family bonds, and perfect timing. I highly recommend you adding The Wedding Veil to your reading list right this second!!
This book gave me all the feelings. Talk about a gut wrenching, yet heartwarming story. What Matters Most takes places in picturesque Nantucket Island. As two heartbroken and grief stricken individuals cross paths, a friendship blossoms and each realizes maybe life has more in store for them.
As each character journeys on a path of healing, longtime kept secrets threaten to disrupt their newfound peace.
The story is a contemporary romance, but it’s theme is a message of forgiveness and the power of it in all different facets.
I highly enjoyed this one and recommend it for anyone looking for a page turning picker-upper.
It’s been awhile since I was so into a book I finished it in one day. Then comes along What Happened to the Bennetts. Y'all I devoured this book!
This story was fast paced and kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. It’s a political thriller but the main focus is family and what lengths you would go to for those that you love.
The whole time I was reading it, I kept imagining what I would do in this same situation and how horrible it would be. But in today’s crazy world it also seems like something that could happen in real life.
WHAT'S UP NEXT...
CARRIE BETH
Next up for me is Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score. I have no idea what it is about and I don't think I've ever ready anything by this author, but it popped up on a search and has a ton of great reviews! I'll keep you posted!

On-Trend Gifts For Teens {Jewelry & Accessories}
My middle Mini Magnolia turned 13 this weekend! I can hardly believe she is a teenager.
A friend and I were talking about gifts for our new teenagers and how they all really love having the "in" items to feel like they fit in with their friends. We were comparing ideas so I thought I'd share some of our favorite on-trend gifts for teens in case anyone else was looking for ideas. I had lots and lots of suggestions so decided to break it up into a few different parts. Today is all about some fun jewelry and accessories.

Spring Fashion with Findlay Rowe
Spring might be our favorite season for fashion. Everything is warming up, and brighter colors start to emerge in our wardrobes - after a winter full of black and fleece, it's refreshing. And just like our homes, we've felt the need to do a little spring updating.
We've made our way to the usual retail favorites to check on trends and pick up a few new staples here and there, but one of our favorite places for spring fashion finds is Findlay Rowe! We usually share them for their fabulous home decor and gifts, but they have a great section dedicated to fashion.
From on trend accessories, to fun dresses, to on trend sneakers - they have it all!
