I’m not a rom com girl BUT this one was perfect
Yours Truly - (part Of Your World) By Abby Jimenez (paperback)
This one had mixed reviews but I read the 2nd and 3rd together and had a book hangover for days
Onyx Storm (Deluxe Limited Edition) - by Rebecca Yarros ...
It! Is. So! Good!!!
All The Little Raindrops - By Mia Sheridan (paperback) - Target
Not a sci-fi girl but this audio book was spectacular
Project Hail Mary - By Andy Weir (hardcover) - Target
Perfect age gap. Perfect romance. Not too much spice. Fun read
Birthday Girl - By Penelope Douglas (paperback) - Target
This book was like a sophisticated Hunger Games. The first few chapters were difficult for me to get into, I honestly felt like I may not be intelligent enough to read this book BUT once I got really rolling, I couldn't put it down. It is a series BU...
Red Rising: 8601422201284: Brown, Pierce: Books
This book has it all.
Nomad, poverty, wealth, academia, struggles, triumphs, dragons, love interests, a good kid that can’t help but get in trouble. She’s a hefty read and I sped through her in 3 days out of sheer hunger to continue
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
Reads at a similar cadence to an Andy Wier novel.
It’s a beautiful story symbolizing we are only as knowledgeable as our surroundings & has a similar imagery to Plato’s Allegory of the Cave.
Piranesi: Clarke, Susanna: 9781635577808
THIS IS A HARD READ! But this is an important read. Media has romanticized DV & victim shamed women to the point that there’s no right choice. This story is raw & brutal & shows an unfiltered perspective of DV.
Long Shot: Forbidden Basketball Romance (HOOPS 1)
This is such a good book! I don’t know how to put it into words that aren’t so simple but it’s just a beautiful story of dysfunctional family & preserving despite the past
The Conditions of Will by Jessa Hastings
Read the series. It is marked itself into my soul. READ THE SERIES
Severed Heart (Ravenhood Legacy Book 2)
I can’t stand romance books and I adored this! Perfect amount of sweet
Out on a Limb: A Novel by Hannah Bonam-Young
I will scream it from the roof top! This is a top read for life book! Think where the crawdads sing, divine secret of they yaya sisterhood
The Calamity Club: A Novel - Kathryn Stockett
This was a precious little naughty golden girl type who done it murder mystery
Mad Mabel: A Novel - Hepworth, Sally: Books
I did the audio book and oh my gosh what a ride. It gives 90s nostalgia, arcade fun, slightly unhinged distopian journey
Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman
I read this with my 10 year old and it was absolutly a precious journey
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh
This will forever be one of my favorite series, I have read them all, their additions, and the spin offs. 10/10
The Ravenhood (3 book series) Kindle Edition
This audio book was absoluty incredible, never thought i would cry for a robot but you know what i dont regret it
Project Hail Mary: A Novel - Books
I have only read the first book but intend to read them all. Such an easy page turner
Grady Lake (Grady Lake Mystery Series) - Books
