My recent reads & reviews 📚📖

I had some absolutely great reads recently! I am so glad to have started the year off on such a strong note reading wise. Have you had any 5 star reads so far this year? I want to know!!

None of this is true: 5 stars! Crazy thriller.

Set on You: 3.25 stars! A fitness influencer romance. Nothing crazy about it.

The Graham Effect: 4.5 stars! A child spin-off of a hockey romance series. I loved it!

Illuminae: 4.5 stars! A sci-fi book told through memos, emails, voicemails etc. The audiobook is top tier.

Ruthless vows: 5 stars! Second book in a fantasy romance story with historical elements. I love this story and this is one of my favorite authors ever.
