Books & Reviews 👀📖

Someone told me I have to read and review these books… what do y’all think? Have you read Girl in Pieces by Kathleen Glasgow or Without Merit by Colleen Hoover? Let me know your thoughts! Should I be excited or nervous? #BookTok #Bookstagram #Lemon8 #TBR #BookRecommendations

... Read moreFor avid readers or those new to book reviews, both 'Girl in Pieces' and 'Without Merit' stand out in contemporary literature. 'Girl in Pieces,' a New York Times bestseller, delves into the struggles of mental health through the eyes of a young girl, making it a poignant narrative that resonates with many. It discusses themes of resilience and recovery, drawing readers into a heartfelt journey. On the other hand, Colleen Hoover's 'Without Merit' gives us a more complex exploration of family dynamics and personal worth, woven with her characteristic emotional depth and engaging storytelling. Both novels have sparked discussions across social media platforms, particularly within communities like #BookTok and #Bookstagram, where readers passionately share their experiences and insights. Engaging in these conversations can deepen your understanding and appreciation of the books, while also providing you with a sense of community among fellow bibliophiles. If you're debating whether to add them to your reading list, consider checking out more reviews and video content; many book reviewers discuss both the highs and lows of the narratives, providing a balanced perspective that could aid your decision-making. Whether you're excited or anxious about diving into these books, the literary community is here to support you!

I know some of these books are so repetitive because everyone talk about them but they are really good! Bad Fat Black Girl: This is a really fun read and it’s actually funny. I think the author did a great job with capturing events and things black women really go through. ⭐️Overall rating

Self-Help Shelfie: My 1-2 star reviews
We've all been there - staring down a bookshelf overflowing with self-help promises. But are they all sunshine and rainbows? While self-help books can be a gamble. You spend your hard-earned cash, eager to unlock your ultimate potential, only to find yourself wading through pages of fluff.
