My five recent book ratings⭐️📚

Before the coffee gets cold series (Books 1 & 2)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- love this series so far! It’s sweet and cozy, could literally read each book as a standalone. I like to read them as my comfort book in-between other books. Very worth it.

The housemaid

⭐️ - honestly 0 stars. Nope just not for me, read it cause a friend was really trying to convince me I’d love it more than anything I’ve read but honestly hated it, couldn’t finish it. Was 85% through it but just couldn’t bare it anymore.

The Institute

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - love the story, your really in it with them. Need more books like this.

The library of borrowed hearts

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - honestly my daughter picked this one out for me (she’s 2, liked the colors) and I said why not but I did like it. I’m not a romance reader but this wasn’t romance without a good story. Had some mystery if you will and it was a cool story. Good twists and character building. #books #booktok #bookish #review #bookrecommendations

... Read moreExploring these five books provides a diverse glimpse into today’s popular fiction genres, from heartwarming tales to intense thrillers. The 'Before the Coffee Gets Cold' series by Toshikazu Kawaguchi stands out as a wonderfully cozy set of stories that offer comfort and warmth, making it an ideal choice for readers looking for standalone books packed with emotion and charm. This series is perfect if you enjoy books that blend a touch of magic realism with deeply human moments. In stark contrast, 'The Housemaid' by Freida McFadden presents a psychological thriller that, while highly praised by some, might not appeal to everyone due to its dark and suspenseful narrative. Psychological thrillers like this often involve unpredictable twists and complex characters, which can create either a gripping experience or a challenging read, depending on one's taste. Stephen King’s 'The Institute' is a must-read for those who savor suspense and strong storytelling. It offers an immersive experience where readers feel intimately connected to the characters’ plight. King’s ability to combine supernatural elements with real human struggles keeps readers on edge, showcasing why his works remain bestsellers. Lastly, 'The Library of Borrowed Hearts' by Lucy Gilmore brings a fresh angle to romantic fiction by blending mystery and character development. This book defies typical romance novels with its layered storytelling and unexpected twists, appealing to readers who appreciate complex narratives alongside their love stories. Choosing books from these varied genres can enrich your reading list and expose you to new authors and styles. Whether you’re seeking comfort, suspense, or romance with a twist, these recent reads offer something intriguing for every reader. For those who love discovering new favorites or debating different tastes in literature, sharing your own ratings and thoughts can be a rewarding part of the reading experience.
