what i read this week!

2025/2/16 Edited to

... Read moreThis week, I dove into a variety of captivating reads that kept me turning the pages late into the night. Among them was "Sparrow Falls," a gripping tale of vulnerability and resilience that showcases the talent of Catherine Cowles, a New York Times bestselling author known for her ability to blend heat and heart in her romance stories. I also enjoyed a hockey romance titled "Playing for Keeps," which not only entertained but also provided a relatable exploration of love and complexity in relationships. In addition to traditional reads, I explored several audiobooks including "The Paradise Problem" by Christina Lauren. This tale was whimsically narrated, providing a light-hearted yet thought-provoking enjoyment that I rated 3 out of 5. For those who love emotional journeys, "Promise Me Sunshine" by Cara Bastone resonated deeply with its themes of loss and finding oneself again, earning a commendable rating of 4.75. For readers interested in spice levels in their romance, I've rated my week’s reading experiences on a scale, ensuring there's something for everyone. Whether you prefer steamy stories or light romances, I hope my summaries and ratings assist you in selecting your next book to dive into. And remember to check out the #BookTok and #Lemon8BookClub for great recommendations and community engagement!

I read it in a week! 🤓
This book gave me so many emotions. Gave me rage, anxiety, panic etc. This book is about this “perfect couple” but nothing is what it seems, but you wouldn’t even imagine what it is until you read it ! It’s not a crazy twist but it was worth reading it I enjoyed the ride with a very happy e

Here are the books I read this week and my thoughts on them! My highlight was definitely This Is Why We Lied by Karin Slaughter it was SO unputdownable! It’s a very gruesome thriller so check your triggers if you’re going to read it, but I highly recommend if you like dark thrillers 📚 #lemon8pa
