✨9 Recent Reads: Hits & Misses🌸
📚 Here are my 9 most recent reads!
This stack had a little bit of everything—horror, fantasy, thrillers, nonfiction, and historical fiction.
⭐️ My favorite was Razorblade Tears by S.A. Cosby. If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I’m a fan of his writing, and this one absolutely delivered.
💭 Dear Debbie was probably my biggest disappointment. I usually enjoy Freada’s books, but this one just wasn’t a favorite for me.
📖 I’m also making an effort to read more nonfiction, which is what led me to The 5 Love Languages and The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman.
🧙♀️ After watching A Discovery of Witches, I wanted to see how the book compared. I’m still undecided on whether I’ll continue the series.
Have you read any of these? Which book should I add to my TBR next?
I’ve found that mixing genres like horror, fantasy, and nonfiction keeps my reading list fresh and engaging. For instance, after reading S.A. Cosby’s 'Razorblade Tears,' I appreciated how the novel’s gritty characters and intense storytelling stood out, making it a top favorite. It reminded me how compelling well-crafted thrillers can be when they dive deep into complex themes. Meanwhile, exploring nonfiction titles like 'The 5 Love Languages' offered me valuable insights into personal relationships, which contrasted nicely with the intense drama in the fiction books. It’s refreshing to balance entertainment with books that offer practical wisdom. Similarly, 'The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman' opened my eyes to powerful historical narratives, enriching my understanding of resilience and courage. On the flip side, 'Dear Debbie' didn’t resonate with me as much, which highlights how personal taste greatly affects book enjoyment. But it’s part of the journey — sometimes a book just doesn’t click, and that’s okay. Also, watching adaptations like 'A Discovery of Witches' piqued my curiosity about the source novels. While I’m still undecided about continuing the series, it’s fascinating to see how visual media can influence our perception of books. For anyone building their own TBR (to-be-read) list, I recommend mixing genres and including both popular bestsellers and lesser-known gems. Engaging in book communities like #BookTok and #BookReview can uncover hidden treasures you might not find otherwise. What’s next on my reading list? Suggestions from fellow readers always help — keeping the experience social and interactive is part of why I love reading so much!
