Starting my weekend book early…

Singapore is high up on my travel bucket list, so when I came across this title and read the synopsis it really intrigued me.

Wonderful debut! I recommend this book if you are looking for a read set in a fun, exotic place and with great take on women handling friendships, careers, relationships and complicated family dynamics.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Release Date: 10/31/23

I loved this memoir. Chin‘s writing, his amazing family, the Detroit backdrop, his struggles to find his place in the world really resonated with me.

Really recommend this book! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Release Date: 10/17/23

I loved this one. The storytelling is very simple but I had a great time with it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really wanted to like this book more, but it just felt flat for me in some parts. And it felt a tad bit too long.

3.5 ⭐️

Thank you again @Daisey 🙂

I inhaled this book. Lisa Jewell always delivers for me!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (because the last 20% felt somewhat all over the place)

I hadn‘t picked up a thriller in a while, and this one is so good so far!

This was so heart-wrenching! This is a very descriptive book, so approach with caution.

I sometimes felt it was a little bit over the top, but it could also be that it was describing so much trauma that maybe it needed to be that way. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

TW: rape, drug use

Starting a new one…I will get that TBR down! 😅

This was the most impactful memoir I‘ve read in a long time. It made me feel uncomfortable, shocked, sad, and at the end so in awe of the human spirit and the power of believing in yourself and forgiveness.

Please read this book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Release date: 8/29

This memoir is so intense I‘ve had to put it down a few times and take breaks, but I can‘t stop reading it!

Why not start a very powerful book at bedtime and ruin your sleep schedule?

I went back to find out when this book was gifted to me by @Daisey and it was 4 years ago! 😱

Started it last night and liking it…Even though I know it‘s going to break my heart!

When I read the synopsis of this book it intrigued me so much. What a powerful story, loved how Daphne found herself and her voice throughout the story.

And the recipes in this book! Love how they were presented and I need to try a few (the salad!!).

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#NetGalley #NetGalleyGroup #NGGSummerSmashup

I don‘t even remember if I‘m reading any other books right now…Soo good!

I was able to snag this book a few days ago and couldn‘t wait to start reading, I‘m so intrigued!

#NetGalley

I will not lie and say that reading this book was a struggle for me sometimes, I wanted to give up so many times. But I‘m glad I persisted, such a beautiful story!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was very intense! I really enjoyed it and neglected all other books because I needed to know what happened.

That being said, I didn‘t love it completely because I kept waiting for at least one chapter with the female‘s POV…But that also could just be me wanting something that was not what the author wanted for the story that she chose to write 😅

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved everything about this book! I've become interested in the tarot as of late and this book was the right book at the right time.

Remedios' transformation throughout the story was what kept me reading, and I was loving this book so much that I started another one just so that this one wouldn't end!

Remedios and Leonora's friendship was the perfect example of how there are some friends that become your soulmates.

5 ⭐️

#NetGalley

In the middle of too many books right now…Why not start a new one? 😅

Starting the week with this one!

This book was the perfect weekend read! I was kept on my toes during the story and kept wanting more.

It was a very unique story and I will be thinking about it for a while.

Highly recommend this book! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#NetGalley

This looks like it‘s going to be a great read for the weekend!

“You have to betray yourself first in order for anyone else to betray you.”

This book was so gut-wrenching, so powerful and made me feel so many things that I‘m still processing at the moment.

One of my favorite reads so far this year! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#NetGalley

Started this one a few hours ago and I‘m already at 42%! It has been a very engaging read, so far!

#NetGalley

This is my second attempt with this book. Joined a buddy read to see if it helped with my reading experience and I‘m already behind 😅

Haven‘t DNF‘d because I‘m starting to see the potential of a great story (currently at 28%). I will also not start a new book until I catch up lol

This was such a powerful read! I felt connected to all the characters and the third-world similarities. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Started reading this book this afternoon and I‘m flying through it! So, so good! This has been sitting on my shelf for 3 years 😅

This was such a sweet love story! And the description of the dishes made me very hungry 😂 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Started this last night and it‘s good so far!

So this happened… 😱🙌🏽🎉🔥

3.5⭐️ After reading and loving Acevedo‘s previous work, I went into this book with too many expectations. I saw where she was trying to take me with her story, but I just had a little bit of difficulty getting there.

That being said, I did have a good time with this book (will admit that some of the women‘s feelings REALLY resonated with me), and will continue to read anything she writes.

Pub Date: 8/1/23

A must-read! It took me forever to finish it since I get easily distracted by other books, but Lacy‘s story is one that I will never forget.

I liked this book overall, but about 80% in I was getting so annoyed with the main character that I kept reading mostly to end my suffering.

So excited to finally be reading this!

This is my second Ernaux and I am in love with her writing! Can‘t put this one down.

I really wanted to like this more, but I feel that it was too long for what it ultimately delivered. At the end, it felt like a very long bickering session.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

#NetGalley

Wow! I consider myself a LUCKY GIRL that I got the opportunity to read this book. This story and its characters were so compelling I kept thinking about them when I was not reading.

Magnificent debut! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#NetGalley

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Loved this book…But, please, do not try this at home! 🤣

I‘m currently in the middle of 4 books…All interesting, but too heavy at times, so I picked this up last night because the curiosity was killing me (people either love or hate this book), and so far I‘m loving it!…Mainly because it‘s so ridiculous 😂😂

Starting this one today, sounds so interesting! #NetGalley

I have created a very ambitious TBR for the month of May, and this was high on the list. Only about 10 pages in and already my heart is breaking.

My #botm picks! I became a BFF last month and it was also my birthday month so I got to pick a free add-on 🎉

This book has me completely engrossed!

Continuing to plow through books that have been sitting on my shelf for too long…Started this one yesterday and I‘m loving it so far!

Don‘t have adequate words to express what this book has done to me. As someone who has experienced the grief of losing someone important, this story is the one that has come closest to describe how it feels for me.

#netgalley

Finished this a few days ago and I‘m still thinking about it. It had great twists that I did not see coming. 5⭐️

Starting this today. Looks good!

Picked up another book that has been sitting on my shelves for way too long…

Also, I‘ve already read 10 books so far this year!! Who am I?!…I kinda like her

Started this today and although not much has happened yet I find myself thinking about getting back to the book ASAP when I am not reading it.
