My reading this month? Kinda all over the place…

I mixed genres, formats (audiobooks, e-reader, and good ol’ paperbacks), and discovered some new fave authors along the way.

Every book I read this month gave trashy TV energy—aka easy, low-stress, bingeable stories that were exactly what my brain needed. Honestly? I find books like this way more relaxing than TV. Give me a chaotic rom-com plot over another Netflix scroll-fest any day.

This brings me to 27 books out of my 2025 goal of 52! If this pregnancy insomnia keeps up and baby boy keeps hanging out in there, I’ll hit that goal next month at this rate 😂

Drop your fave easy reads or rec me a non-fiction title for May (if my brain can handle it 🤪)
