A desk setup featuring a tablet displaying 'The Unmaking of June Farrow' book cover, a glass of iced coffee, and a keyboard. Text overlay reads 'recent reads and what i rate them' with stars, introducing book reviews.
A book cover for 'The Unmaking of June Farrow' by Adrienne Young, rated 3.5 stars. The accompanying text describes the book's interesting setting and unique twist, noting it was an enjoyable read despite initial slow chapters.
A book cover for 'The Housemaid Is Watching' by Freida McFadden, rated 3 stars. The text review indicates it was a quick read but felt unnecessary compared to other books in the series, lacking a 'full circle' feeling.

I’ve been alternating between cozy romantic and steamy manga. If you’re not into visual spicy scenes, I recommend you avoid the manga. It’s gets graphic 😬 #bookreccomendation #romancemanga #books #kindlerecommendations #lemon8bookclub
