What I read last week!

June is looking like a slow mood reading kind of month but still I’m loving reading romance books in any and all capacity. What’s your current moody read? #books #romancebookrecs #summer #summerreading

6 days agoEdited to

June has been a month for embracing what I like to call "slow mood reading," where the pace is relaxed and the focus is on emotional connection through stories. Romance, with its rich emotional layers and relatable characters, fits perfectly into this vibe. Recently, I dove into Tessa Bailey's works, starting with her novel 'Happened One Summer.' I was immediately drawn in by her fresh, vibrant voice—it's the kind of writing that feels both bubbly and genuine, a great way to uplift your spirits on a quiet day. Later in the week, I moved on to Simone Elkeles' "Crossfire" series, which combines romance with high stakes and fast-paced drama. Elkeles' storytelling stands out for its ability to fuse passionate relationships with thrilling plotlines, making it hard to put the book down. Both authors are well-known in the romance genre, making my reading selections not just enjoyable but also a dive into some of the best contemporary romantic fiction available. If you're also feeling the summer reading vibe, I recommend choosing books that match your mood, whether that's something light and funny or emotionally intense. Romance is such a versatile genre and can offer both. Also, joining online communities—like forums tagged #romancebookrecs or #summerreading—can be a fantastic way to find new titles and connect with fellow readers. I encourage anyone looking to unwind to give these novels a try. From fresh voices like Tessa Bailey to established authors like Simone Elkeles, their stories offer warmth, excitement, and the perfect escape for a slow mood reading month like June.

A woman floats on a striped raft in a pool, reading a book. Text bubbles ask the viewer to pick an emotional damage level: 'meh vibes,' 'full emotional collapse,' or 'masochist, hurt me more.'

Two book covers, 'Before the Coffee Gets Cold' and 'The Midnight Library,' are displayed with text suggesting they are for those 'mildly unwell' or 'contemplating existence.'

What to read based on your emotional damage level

What’s your current damage level and what are you reading to match it? Not all emotional damage is created equal, bestie. Sometimes I’m just lightly spiraling with a cup of tea. Other times I’m crying at the club bathroom because a fictional man in a book from 2013 made a sad face ONCE. So here
