My next reads as a mood reader 👏🏾

2024/7/12 Edited to

... Read moreAs mood readers, we often find our next book based on how we feel. This curated list includes a variety of titles that explore different emotions and experiences. In addition to T.A.N. (TOXIC A*S N***A) by K.L. Hall, noted for its raw storytelling, there's NO BUSINESS CATCHING FEELINGS by DeeAnn, which dives into romantic complexities and relationships. MUTUAL OBSESSION by Charisse Carr promises a thrilling narrative that explores intense connections, while FINDING MY BODYGUARD by A. Blossom offers an intriguing mix of love and suspense. HOSEA'S REINE by Riley Baxter reads like a captivating journey of self-discovery, while SAY YOU'LL RIDE by Tucora Monique presents a riveting tale of emotional depth. UNHAND ME by Grey Huffington challenges traditional narratives with its bold take, and I.D.G.A.F: TOXIC NAZIAS by Candi B explores contemporary social issues through a unique lens. With hashtags like #blackbooksmatter and #blackgirlsreadbooks, this reading list not only highlights empowering voices but also invites readers to engage with communities that celebrate diverse literature. Happy reading!

Three books, Mistborn, A River Enchanted, and Powerless, are displayed on a gray background with text overlays indicating an 'OVER HYPED, UNDER HYPED & ACCURATELY HYPED book' and a 'SWIPE' arrow.
The book 'Powerless' by Lauren Roberts is shown with a pink box stating it's an 'OVERHYPED BOOK' due to feeling like other books, having unflushed parts, and an unliked writing style.
The book 'A River Enchanted' by Rebecca Ross is displayed with an orange box stating it's an 'UNDER HYPED BOOK' that is good and atmospheric, encouraging more readers.
How hyped do you think these reads should be?
My take on the over hyped, under hyped, and accurately hyped trend. My over hyped book: Powerless by Lauren Roberts. I feel like I’ve said this in several posts now at this point but this book I just WAY too overhyped. It says great for fans of red queen and the hunger games… But this is just a
