Two more reads for this week…

Every week, I find joy in selecting new books to read, especially when they come from recommendations close to home or a fun book wheel. My husband’s picks tend to be longer reads that challenge me a bit more, and this time, I anticipate his choice will keep me hooked for longer than usual. Meanwhile, the reading wheel adds an element of surprise and spontaneity to my TBR (to-be-read) list, keeping my reading habits fresh and unpredictable. One book I recently added to my reading list is "The Rose of Will" by Sasha Peyton Smith, which has been gaining attention for its engaging story and compelling characters. Books like these often top bestseller lists and offer a great balance of entertainment and thoughtful storytelling. Selecting books this way not only introduces me to new genres and authors but also broadens my reading horizons. It’s fun to share the experience with my husband and discuss our thoughts on each book, which adds a social element to reading. For anyone looking to diversify their reading list, I recommend trying a similar approach—perhaps alternating picks with a friend or family member, or using a book wheel to select your next read. It transforms reading from a solitary activity into a shared adventure. Sharing my TBR online with hashtags like #books, #tbr, #reading, #reader, and #currentlyreading also connects me with fellow readers. This sense of community can be motivating, and exchanging recommendations leads to discovering hidden gems I might not have found otherwise.
