Romance 🥰
Oh… this one was a good one!! A great romance with some serious twists. Won't let you down.
November 9 by Colleen Hoover
I know… I know… but the stigma around the movie should NOT deter you form reading this one! It's a great story and well worth the read, especially if you haven't seen the movie yet.
It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover
This one is hilarious! The book is so much better than the movie, in my opinion. A lighter read if you need a pallet cleanser.

I give most biographies 5 stars because the authors are just telling their own stories. This one was well deserved, especially if you're a Bachelor franchise fan.

The Third Gilmore Girl by Kelly Bishop
Here's my Goodreads review: “This book was intimidating. It’s just so interesting to learn about what someone is going through outside of their career. We see what’s on screen, but never know what’s happening on a personal level. I’m so glad there ar...
