It’s Already Been Great 🫶

2024/7/8 Edited to

... Read moreThe mid-year reading check-in is an excellent opportunity for bibliophiles to reflect on their favorite reads and set ambitious goals for the remaining months. This year has been particularly exciting in the literary world, with numerous books capturing the hearts of readers everywhere. As titles like 'Manacled' by Rebecca Ross and 'Red, White & Royal Blue' by Casey McQuiston topped the New York Times Bestseller list, readers have continued to seek out fresh voices and returning favorites. Many authors, such as Sarah J. Maas and Ali Hazelwood, are on readers' radar, contributing to the rich variety of genres available this year. The genres range from contemporary romance to gripping thrillers, making it easy to find compelling stories regardless of personal preferences. Participating in reading challenges and sharing favorite books using hashtags like #favoritebooks and #booksiloved has become a popular way to connect with fellow readers and discover hidden gems. Keeping track of favorites and five-star reads can create a fun and engaging experience within the community. Whether you're an avid reader or new to the literary scene, this mid-year reflection offers a chance to explore the year’s best and shape your reading list for the rest of the year.

I loved Manacled so much! I can't wait for it to be published traditionally. I will definitely be buying that.
