Last, Next, Best, & Current

5/16 Edited to

... Read moreKeeping track of my reading journey every month helps me stay focused and enjoy a curated selection of books tailored to my interests. This May, even though the pace feels a bit slower, prioritizing my reads has given me a genuine sense of accomplishment. One title that truly stands out for me is Norman Doidge’s "The Brain That Changes Itself," a fascinating New York Times bestseller that delves deep into the remarkable neuroplasticity of the human brain. It’s a current read that has expanded my understanding of how adaptable our minds can be. Looking back, Abby Jimenez’s "Yours Truly" was my last read, offering a delightful blend of humor and heartfelt emotion—perfect for anyone seeking warmth and relatable characters. Next on my list, I’m eager to continue exploring new releases that align with my reading preferences to maintain momentum. Reflecting on the best read so far this year makes me appreciate how diverse and enriching a well-rounded book list can be. For fellow book lovers aiming to structure their reading habits, I suggest setting clear priorities each month. Whether it’s a bestseller, a personal favorite, or a new find through communities like #booktok, having a plan can make reading feel less like a task and more like a rewarding journey. Tracking categories like last, current, next, and best reads not only helps in organizing your literary adventures but also in sharing meaningful recommendations with others. Embracing this method has truly enhanced both my reading experience and engagement within bookish communities.

Last 📖 The God of the Woods Genre: Mystery 💬 Such a great read. Multi-layered, complex characters, storyline that will keep you guessing until the end. Current 📖 Untamed Genre: Memoir 💬 Kind of a slog for me. Maybe it would have been better to read this when it first came out? Still trying

Hey guys! Just wanted to share what my reading journey is looking like recently. Here we go: Last read The Throne of Glass 3.5/5⭐️ I know this series is going to rock my world but this book just didn’t wow me. I’m not the biggest fan of the main characters yet so this one was a 3.5 star read.
