Books read so far!!!

Just finished books 1 & 2 of the Calavera Hotel Seeies by Nix Mungria… What other books should I read, I don’t wanna fall into a book slump already 🤣

#bookrecommendations

2025/1/4 Edited to

After completing the first two books in the Calavera Hotel series by Nix Mungria, it’s essential to look ahead and find your next great read. Engaging with communities on platforms like Lemon8 or Goodreads can offer a plethora of recommendations tailored to your tastes. If you enjoyed the dark cartel romance showcased in Mungria’s work, consider exploring similar themes in other novels. Look for titles that delve into romance intertwined with suspense and mystery. Popular genres among readers of dark romance include romantic suspense or paranormal romance, which often feature complex characters and emotionally charged plots. Authors such as Colleen Hoover, Tessa Bailey, and Jennifer L. Armentrout provide gripping narratives that keep readers captivated. Don’t forget the value of audiobooks or book podcasts, which can reinvigorate your love for stories, especially when transitioning to a different style. Moreover, checking resources for new releases or engaging in social media book discussions can guide your next choice. Share your journey in the reading community using hashtags like #booksofinstagram or #bookstagram to connect with others who share your interests. Remember, reading should be a fun escape—don’t hesitate to explore different genres or styles to find what resonates with you next.
