Two Excellent Reads to kick off 2025!

2025/1/11 Edited to

As we welcome the new year, diving into books that inspire and provoke thought can set a positive tone for 2025. 'The Power of Your Subconscious Mind' by Joseph Murphy highlights how our subconscious can be harnessed to achieve success, happiness, and inner peace. It discusses techniques to influence the subconscious through visualization and affirmations, emphasizing that our beliefs shape our experiences. On the other hand, 'The Four Agreements' by Miguel Ruiz offers a code of conduct based on ancient Toltec wisdom. It presents four principles—being impeccable with your word, not taking anything personally, not making assumptions, and always doing your best. Adhering to these agreements can lead to personal freedom and deeper relationships. These powerful narratives not only provide practical advice but also empower readers to transform their thoughts and beliefs, paving the way for a fulfilling year. As 2025 approaches, these reads can provide invaluable perspectives to help you navigate life's challenges with resilience and clarity.

A tablet displays the book cover for 'A Night with Ms. Grinch' by Lauren Lacey. The cover features a woman in a pink apron holding a cup, and a man in a black apron behind a counter, set against a festive, green brick background with Christmas decorations.

This was absolutely delicious. I don’t know why I’m always so surprised when authors can fit an entire story that has not only spice but substance in such a short story. I could feel the emotions through the pages. I want more of Kandi and Cole it was too short. ⭐️Overall rating: 5/5 #lemon8boo

I was angry this entire book. The MMC is so infuriating and Kendra is so forgiving and her family excluding Auntie Mack were all toxic. Kendra deserved better and I was hoping she wouldn’t end up with BJ in the end. Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollin’s Publisher for this Arc. ⭐️Overall ratin

A digital book cover for 'Daughter of the Dead: Remnants of Rage' by K. Jamila, displayed on an e-reader. It features a woman with dark curly hair and intense eyes, with flowing red and orange elements, and the tagline 'Every Room She Entered, Death Followed.'

I just love when I can feel the female rage through the pages. This was a great read. From the first page this had me on the edge, the mystery and gore that is laid out makes it almost impossible not to continue and it just kept getting better. The world building and magic systems are quite unique.

I’m only giving this 2 stars because the audio book was absolutely tragic, otherwise I think I would’ve enjoyed this book a lot. The way both the FMCs voices changed when they were in each other’s chapters was not it, it was very distracting especially on the important bits. I might have to do a re
