New books this week❤️

These both released on Tuesday 5/26!!! I just started ‘The Divorce’ since I read two romances back to back… I like to split up my reading !

Buuuuut I can’t wait to start reading Dolly! I got a signed copy and I am so excited !!!! Annabel is one my favs!!!!

Are you reading these ??

5/29 Edited to

I recently dove into ‘The Divorce’ by Frieda McFadden, one of the #1 New York Times bestselling authors, and it exceeded my expectations. The story offers a gripping mix of emotional depth and suspense, making it a compelling read that contrasts nicely with lighter romances. It’s refreshing to alternate genres like this; after reading two romances back-to-back, switching to a thriller kept my reading experience balanced and engaging. What truly excites me is having a signed copy of Annabel Monaghan’s ‘Dolly All The Time.’ As a fan who loves her writing style and storytelling, holding this book feels special. Annabel’s ability to create relatable characters and heartfelt narratives makes her works stand out. If you enjoy contemporary fiction with emotional resonance, her books are definitely worth exploring. For fellow readers, I recommend spacing out your genres to keep your interest piqued—try mixing suspense with romance or contemporary drama. Also, look out for author signings and special editions; having a signed copy inspires me to cherish my reading journey more deeply. Are you reading any of these? What are your thoughts on balancing different genres in your reading list? Share your experiences and let’s talk books!
