Never Thought I Would Like It
Reese's Bookclub
Reese really doesn’t miss. These are the ones that pulled me in quickly, kept me turning pages, and stayed with me after I finished. Strong characters, good pacing, and that perfect mix of heart + plot. Basically: if you need a guaranteed good read, ...
A compulsive, “just one more chapter” kind of thriller. Mystery, family secrets, and a quiet emotional core. Not scary — just really well-paced and engaging. (I read this in 2 days because it was that good)
The Last Thing He Told Me (A Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick)|Hardcover
Suburban drama with razor-sharp emotional insight. Mothers, daughters, belonging, perfectionism, and the things we don’t say. Slow burn that ends like a match striking.
Little Fires Everywhere
I don't know if I love this book or hate it. It made me reflect on my own behavior during a time when it felt the world was burning. I think the writing is captivating and worth a read.
Such a Fun Age (Reese's Book Club)
Quirky, heartfelt, and unexpectedly emotional. A story about loneliness, healing, and learning how to let people in. Made me laugh and cry in the same chapter.
Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine (Reese's Book Club)
I finished reading this when my husband was already asleep. I yelled at the end and woke him up. That's all I'm saying!
Where the Crawdads Sing
Cute, light, and flirty rom-com energy. Fun banter, easy pacing, and the kind of book you finish with a smile. Perfect weekend escape read.
The Proposal (Reese's Book Club)
Empowering, reflective, and very “come home to yourself” energy. Short chapters you can pick up anytime. A book that makes you think about your life differently.
Untamed (Reese's Book Club)|Hardcover
Found on Bookstagram
The algorithm got me… and honestly? I’m glad. These are the books I saw everywhere online and finally caved — and they actually lived up to the hype. Aesthetic covers, swoony stories, cozy vibes, and fun to talk about with other readers. These are th...
Glitzy, messy, glamorous coming-of-age in 1940s NYC. It’s about joy, friendship, women making their own choices, and the lives we build. It stayed with me.
City of Girls: A Novel|Hardcover
This one hits different. Small town, hockey culture, loyalty, trauma, and community — written with so much heart it almost hurts. Not light, but incredibly human. I still think about these characters.
Beartown (Beartown Trilogy #1)|Paperback
Family, identity, love, class, culture, and the pressure to perform the version of yourself others expect. Smart, layered, emotional — but still witty. So much depth here.
Olga Dies Dreaming: A Novel|Paperback
Soft, charming, and cozy historical fiction told through letters. Friendship, resilience, love, and storytelling. Feels like wrapping up in a warm blanket.
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society: A Novel
A thoughtful, cozy read about unplugging, burnout, and what real connection looks like. Lighthearted with depth — perfect if you need a reset story.
The Bright Side of Going Dark
Never Thought I Would Like It
Okay listen — I went into these skeptical. The premise sounded “not my thing” or I thought the genre wasn’t for me… and then I ended up obsessed. These books surprised me in the best way. If you’re feeling curious, open-minded, or just want something...
Dragons, enemies-to-lovers, training academy chaos… I swore this wasn’t my genre, and then I devoured it. So addictive, fast-paced, and emotional. Truly could not put it down.
Fourth Wing (Wing and Claw Collection)|Special
This is a two-fer because it's a Reese Bookclub pick, but I also never thought I would like it! Listen to it on Audiobook and you will feel like you're watching Behind the Music.
Daisy Jones & The Six
Post-apocalypse but quiet and beautiful. About art, memory, connection, and what we choose to carry forward. Haunting in the best way — still think about it.
