My Review:
Planning for Nickie is the second in the Holidays in Hadley Springs series by Tasha Hackett. While it could be read as a stand-alone novel, I HIGHLY recommend reading Waiting for Gilbert first.
In the first book, we follow Cordelia and Gilbert. In this book, we follow Mark and Nickie. Mark is Cordelia's cousin and has a prominent role in the first book. I was a little disappointed that we didn't get as much interaction between Cordelia and Mark as we did in the first book, but it does make complete sense.
Read for:
🎄Mark's story
🎄meet cute
🎄the wife project
🎄the Boaz scene
🎄the text messages
🎄the witty banter
🎄Mark's thoughtfulness
🎄character growth
🎄relatable characters
I loved this book. The way the author writes her dialogue and the banter is just so fun. I loved the main characters and the side characters. I enjoyed catching up with the ones we met in the first book. Out of the two books, I have to say the first is still my favorite, but this is definitely a close second. I HOPE the author writes more in this series (and sooner rather than later, LOL!).

Synopsis (Goodreads):
“Fifty-three weeks is plenty of time to find a wife. One week to plan, fifty-two to execute.”
Career-obsessed
Mark is history. From now on, my heart is open and ready for a family.
No more fifth wheel. No more working alone through dinner in restaurant
booths.
Solo Mark is out. Family man is in. As with every challenge,
I’ve divided the task into a step-by-step process. While on holiday in
Hadley Springs, Nebraska, I drafted the twelve-month plan. I included a
detailed description of what I’m looking for and a spreadsheet for the
expected timeline. Project: Find-A-Wife will commence as soon as I
return home to Phoenix.
It’s all well and good until I join my cousins on a blizzard walk for a few donuts.
Who knew a chance encounter with a scrubs-wearing, sweet-smiling, schedule-wrecking woman would derail my life so efficiently?
To Do…
1. Review the plan
2. Drink coffee3. Find a wife
Ohhhhh, I really want to read this one but it isn't out on audible yet. I read the first one on audible so I would like to keep the editions the same for each book in the series but I might have to break down and buy the paperback. I'll give Waiting for Gilbert a reread in the mean time. :-)
ReplyDeleteKav, you will LOVE it!!! It is soooo good :)
DeleteSounds like a couple of good books!
ReplyDeleteSo far, I've read 351 books this year. This beat my 300 book year. But, I've had a lot of time on my hands. However since just before Thanksgiving it has been so BUSY! Doesn't seem like it will slow down anytime soon, either!
Robbye, that is AMAZING! I have read over 200, but not sure what my exact count is at the moment. Life is busy, and will be until we intentionally slow it down!
ReplyDeleteThat is so true , Cindy. I do most of my reading late, late at night or in the wee hours of the morning.
ReplyDeleteOver 200 read is amazing. too!
Life does keep us busy, especially this time of year.
Blessings and prayers, my friend~
Robbye, I read a little bit here and there throughout the day, then read an hour or two before bed. I also listen to an audiobook on my way to and from work. it all adds up!
