You read something and it makes you think about your young adult life transitioning out of high school and the friendships you make in life at that time. This book did this. How as young adults we “feel” like it‘s the end of the world and when we‘re young we‘re so passionate about life. This book was a journey in that sense but that‘s not only what it was about it‘s also about friends “losing” a friend in a tragic death and the truth comes out.

The Unwedding | Ally Condie

I was disappointed and this Reese‘s BookClub pick. It‘s a murder mystery at a coastal resort close to where I‘m from. I suppose that‘s what made me want to read this. In the beginning it started off ok but in the end it felt rushed. I just didn‘t want to DNF it. If felt like a YA who dunnit. #fallreading #murdermystery #fyp

House of Earth and Blood | Sarah J. Maas
post image

My first Sarah J Maas 😩😩 !!! She is so great at world building I took my time at eating up her words and savoring each and every morsel without leaving a crumb. Great imagery in her words, she is so talented. I loved this. I also dove into the fan art online. I have to give credit to the only one I found too #tangerine.eileen … total recommend !!!

Hunting Adeline | H D Carlton

I read the sexy, saucy and steamy sequel and it didn‘t disappoint. This is not for the faint of heart 😉😉. The way H.D. Carlton makes you fall for Zade and can‘t help but root for Zade and Addie. Loved this and I don‘t think I‘ll ever forget this story , ever!!! #HDCarlton #unforgettablestory #greatreads #greatsummerreads #topkindlebook

Magnolia Parks | Jessa Hastings
post image

One of my favorite yet painful lines in this story “The problem with me and Parks is, I think we love each other more than ourselves.” This is about a very toxic relationship that you can‘t help but root for 🥹 … read at your own risk #summerreading #kindlereading #toxicrelationships

The Invited: A Novel | Jennifer McMahon

Pickpick

This was my 1st book for my bookclub that I‘m now officially part of and may I say, this was the best way for me to be initiated.It kept you on the edge of your seat and kept you guessing.It‘s about a couple who moved to a remote town to start their lives over by building their house “from scratch” by themselves on a land where a lady who was hung almost a century ago for what people thought was a witch. Things start happening.Leave it at that 🫣

It Ends With Us | Colleen Hoover
post image

Evening reading at the beach 🏖️ is the best.I love Ms. Hoover‘s writing and this one is hitting me in the heart.You are following Lily and how she and her mom survived the abuse from her father and how she befriended a homeless young boy named Atlas who was her first love and saving grace.They lost contact and then they find each other again when they are with different people. It‘s a very emotional story and I can‘t wait until it hits theaters!

This was an amazing read! Set around the 1940‘s in Pennsylvania in a town segregated with Jews and blacks and a Jewish grocery store owner who was the heartbeat of the town and befriended everyone. This story intertwines all characters story lines because there is a lot going on.I love these types of stories. Its main characters suffer throughout the entire story but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. a big recommend!#summerreading #kindle

Binding 13 | Chloe Walsh (Fiction writer)
post image

Happy Summer All!!! My favorite season and I‘m back at the beach 😁❤️ This book is so sweet and I‘m living for it. It‘s a sweet YA romance and its characters are in Ireland, in high school and it revolves around rugby. I even looked up the sport. I really recommend. It‘s almost “Mean Girls” and there are I think 4 more after this. I will be reading them all. #beachreading #boysoftommen #chloewalsh

Yellowface | Rebecca F. Kuang

This book reads like a dream, a thriller dream and it isn‘t. First chapter, main character‘s college friend dies “In a weird tragic way” who also was a successful writer. Then the “protagonist” who also is a writer, does the unthinkable. We will leave it at that. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cathythoughts I enjoyed this one too 👍🏻 9mo

A Certain Hunger | Chelsea G. Summers
post image

If you want to read about a female psychopath who starts dating men only to later scheme up a plan to murder them to enjoy them in a meal, this is it. The Protagonist, is a writer for food magazines who was thinking about revenge on a few men and thought, hmm let me try using a certain body part in a dish. It‘s a dark story meant to be humorous. I got it, at the end. It hit me like an Edgar Allen Poe :) #canibalism #darkstory #winterreading #libby

Hello Beautiful | Ann Napolitano

This book about 4 close knit Italian sisters and about how their life choices alters their family dynamic. It also touches on how depression affects not only the sufferer but everyone around that person. It also makes you think about having patience for depression sufferers. This was a very sad book and it was an eye opener. Total recommend. Loved this one here !!! #depression #learningpatience #winterreading

The Nightingale | Kristin Hannah

This one broke me. I cried so hard. I really recommend this book. I hear it should be a movie soon with the Fanning sisters, Dakota and Elle, which I would watch. It‘s about the German invasion on France and the Holocaust. It talks about the ladies who helped hide and save Jewish children during WWII. Heartbreaking 💔

LoverOfLearning Reading this nowa almost halfway. Loving it already even though I know I will be shattered. 10mo

Big Chicas Don't Cry | Annette Chavez Macias

This was a great story about a Mexican family and how each of the female cousins deal with the events brought to their lives. It‘s very relatable being a Latina myself. There was a lot of lines that made me smile and some that made me feel for the girls the stories were about. I totally recommend 👍🏻👍🏻 #kindleunlimited #winterreads #latinaauthors

I'm Glad My Mom Died | Jennette McCurdy
post image

This is such a sad a tragic story that Jeannette shared with the world. She lost her youth and teenage years at the hands of her abusive mother. She was mentally abused by her mother in ways, unimaginable! This was a very well written bio that was sad but somehow, Ms. Jennette somehow found ways to slip her humor that mad it a little easier to read. Totally recommend this. Trigger warnings, eating disorders #mentalabuse #survivor #eatingdisorder

Have you ever read a book that pisses you off? This does when a Latina teenager gets detention just for not wearing a bra!!! How she was spoken to and how she was treated.

She's Gone | David Bell

Happy Fall everyone! 🍁🎃🌻 Yes, I‘m reading at the beach still because we‘re still getting 70 degree weather in Central Cali. This book I started, is perfect to start in the first days of fall because what the story is about, takes place in October and it‘s a mystery. I can NOT put down. I will be finishing it tonight. About a teenager who‘s in a car accident with his girlfriend and wakes up after and she‘s missing. So good #fallbooks #beachreads

Queenie | Candice Carty-Williams
post image

I finished this book “Queenie”, and I really enjoyed it. I had to put it down several times because it depressed me and I didn‘t want to be put in that state of mind. Queenie is a 20ish black woman who was mentally abused as a child. Now as an adult, she appears to not have self worth. There is a bigger picture and a great story line. It is a must read! #mentalabuse #queenie #endofsummer

Wrong Place, Wrong Time | Gillian McAllister

Haven‘t been to this particular beach in a while. I started this #reesesbookclub pick and the suspense starts immediately, in the 1st chapter. The story line includes a lot of “going back in time” and trying to fix the wrongs. So enjoyable, you can‘t wait to turn the next page #summerreading #librarybooks #beachreads #bookclub

Just started this new book today and I love it. I noticed I like story lines that have to do with main characters being writers. Not only is the main character Florence a ghost writer, but she sees ghosts. Literally. It was a beautiful day today at the beach and we are lucky the hurricane isn‘t hitting the west coast. Prayers to all those who are being affected. I more month of summer, got to enjoy these last days #beachreading #summerreading

My daughter bought this new cozy blanket, it says “Believe in Magic”, so cute!!! I‘m gonna start When In Rome since it‘s a library book and it‘s due by the end of the week and then I‘ll go back to the Dreamland Billionaires. Oh, that‘s a good series.

I‘ve never read anything by Lauren Asher but I‘m enjoying this humorous character Zahra who has a crush on her boss Rowan. It‘s the first book of the Dreamland Billionaire Series I‘m really getting hooked on. It‘s main setting sounds like a fictional “Disneyland” type place where they both work at. Btw, I‘m at my favorite beach here in Central California #beachreads #dreamlandbillionaireseries #laurenasher #kindle

Happy Sunday everyone! I started this Reese‘s Book Club pick last night and I have no regrets. Immediately suspenseful and a psychological thriller. I went shopping today and had to take it with me so I can read it on the road. It‘s a must read. I can really see this as a movie,knowing Reese W it just might be. Btw, if you‘re ever in Monterey you need to try these teas from Tzone.I‘m drinking the Secret Garden #summersuspenseread #reesesbookclub

Ok, I haven‘t read the 1st one , “Finlay Donovan is Killing It”, but I will after I‘m done with this. It‘s not necessary to read the books in order because Elle Cosimano is such an amazing writer that she inserts a little bit of flashbacks in a subtle way it‘s not necessary. She adds drama, romcom and mystery,she has me hooked!!! A must read. You won‘t sleep when you start this in bed. Trust me 👍🏻#ellecosimanonewfan #newsummerread #ellecosimano

I haven‘t been in for a while and it‘s because of this book. I started this at least 3 months ago and I couldn‘t get through it . But I was determined not to give up and to put it down.

Got this on a random run to B&N and found this YA as their monthly pick and I have no regrets. The setting is in Louisiana near New Orleans and I can feel and get the vibe and accents of the characters. It‘s spooky and I‘ve gotten a little creeped out like I did in Verity, lol. I think the cover is super beautiful too!!!
