My favorite book recs
32
items I used to hate reading but decided I needed to do something besides sitting on my phone. Purchased a kindle now here I am. These are the books I’ve read so far.
Was a random selection but we both enjoyed it!
The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren, Paperback
It took a little bit for me to get into and understand the layout. Was not totally into the past to present time pattern but once o figured it out I enjoyed it!
The Things We Leave Unfinished by Rebecca Yarros
This one was a quick pick because I finished my last book and this one was available okay my kindle. Enjoyed it so much more than I thought I was going to. Definitely a standard little love story but those are one of my favorites 🫶🏼
Funny Story by Emily Henry
If you want spice….holy this is not what I was expecting. This was the first book I read when I started reading again and I wish I would have prepared myself for this one.
Over the Edge (The Bridge Series) by Wild
The first book was so good!!! After that we all know how series work the first book is the best then it just keeps going. I enjoyed the short chapters of this one it was a very quick read.
The Housemaid Series by Freida McFadden
1st book of this series. I liked it just a normal little love story. Even though they have the same endings that you’ll be able to predict I still love reading them all.
Part of Your World Series by Abby Jimenez
The second book of the series but I actually liked this book more than the first. I just enjoyed the character that the book was based off of. They were both good but I read this one so much faster.
Yours Truly (Part of Your World, #2) by Abby Jimenez
I have no clue what I was expecting I just always say it from TikTok. This one is part of a series too but the first book was enough for me. Not your normal love story so it was a little odd for me.
Archer's Voice by Mia Sheridan
I wanted a book that wasn’t a love story and I needed a book that was available at the time. This one had a lot of characters to follow but once you remember who everyone is it’s nice to have different story lines. Also a book that has short chapter...
The One by John Marrs
Back to the love stories. I enjoyed this one the main character had to fight through her loss and the idea of love that she had in her head.
Full Measures (Flight & Glory Book 1) eBook
The ending got me. Not at all what I was expecting. Right when I thought I had it figured out another twist happened.
The Business Trip by Jessie Garcia
This one took me some time to get into I have no clue why because once I got going I finished it quickly. Not how I was expecting it to start but I liked how the characters relationships were built.
The Wedding People by Alison Espach
Definitely not my go to book but it was slightly different. The whole time I just wanted to shake the main character and be like uhhhh why.
Love letters to a serial killer
I loved it. This book was so cute I feel like I read it so fast. Of course liked the ending and wanted that through the entire book.
Funny Story by Emily Henry
Everyone always talks about this book and how good it is so I decided to finally read it. I was expecting a lot I feel like just based off of everyone else’s opinions. It was a good book but it wasn’t my favorite if you go into it without an opinion ...
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: A Novel
Guyyssss it’s the mental part of a book that makes me take so long to start them. So when I don’t see the pages all at once making it daunting it makes it so much easier for me to pick up and read.
Amazon Kindle 16GB New Model - Black
I had to decorate my kindle obviously. It can’t be boring even though I didn’t do too much to it but it’s a lot for me.
CoBak Secure Hand Strap for 6-7.5" Tablets
Again decorating here but this case is so simple and cute I couldn’t commit to something crazy I knew I would get over.
CoBak Clear Case for 6" Kindle 2024 & 2022
Normally I’m not a crier over movies books anything….but guys this book was so good but so sad. It made it good because there was so much emotion. It discussed the military and that played a roll in the book.
The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros
Another little love story. I feel like this one was a little different since the main characters had such different lives. Was weird starting took a while to get past her prior life. There is a second book we will see if I end up reading that eventua...
It Happened One Summer (Bellinger Sisters, #1) by Tessa Bailey
What was I expecting idk. But I think I kinda ended up liking it. I read this book in only 3 or 4 days I don’t read straight okay. But I liked it in the end I was trying to almost figure out when it was going to switch the whole book then at the end ...
In Five Years by Rebecca Serle
It was cute guys. The first part of the book I was like uh alright how is this going to go. But of course it’s just another love story but they are all cute and they all get you to want to see the love in their relationship unfold. Predictable but cu...
The Unhoneymooners: Lauren, Christina
I thought I wasn’t going to like this. Reading the description it sounded stupid like all right this series is over we can’t keep dragging this on. But they are all stand alone books and I knew that going into it but in my head I thought that there w...
Just for the Summer (Part of Your World, #3) by Abby Jimenez
This one was a slow start for me it took me two times of getting it on my kindle to get going but I was also busy. I think it was cute I would say like a mild love story there were some little twists I wasn’t expecting but of course it’s a love story...
Book Lovers by Emily Henry
This was cute the beginning is was kinda confused on how the book was laid out. Once I figured out that we were going between past and present it was cute to see the past be shown during the present. It took a second for me to fully get into the love...
Happy Place by Emily Henry
Well the title is incorrect they meet no one on vacation but I still think it was cute. I heard some things about this being the worst book written by this author but I don’t think it was that bad it follows the same outline as the other ones. They a...
People We Meet on Vacation by Henry & Emily
Ummmm guys I never read little mysteries but I’m spooked. I feel like there are still things after finishing it that are just now becoming clear to me. That was crazy and so good. I was not expecting this at all.
Look Closer by David Ellis
She was cute. It was a shorter book so it was nice it didn’t take as long for the characters to finally start to be together I feel like in a lot of other books it only happens at the last couple chapters.
Beach Read by Emily Henry
Omg this book. So most of the time I feel like we have these fairytale lives that aren’t always realistic. This book was so real that I didn’t expect it. It showed real life issues and health problems and how that can change your love life. At times ...
The Friend Zone #1 - Abby Jimenez
So tbh this book at the beginning I was so bored. I was almost like should I even continue this I was about to just stop reading it. I would stop paying attention while reading. But then it took a turn. Was it my favorite book no but I still like it....
The Love Haters by Katherine Center
Aww cute. I already added the second book to my books that I want to read. The chapters are long which normally makes me not want to read something but pushed through. It only took me a couple chapters to get into it
Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter
It wasn’t like total mystery mystery like these books normally are. It didn’t have like a crazy omg I didn’t see that coming. It was definitely spooky still. It was kinda long and was waiting for us to finally get to the end but once I got into a gro...
Tell Me What You Did: A Novel: Wilson, Carter
