I recently binge read a sci-fi series (Threshold by Peter Clines) thanks to an TikTok recommendation. The series was so easy to binge and it was far from perfect but had a light, humorous tone with some characters that kept me turning pages (metaphorically, since I was listening to the audiobooks 😅), PLUS the narrator was one I enjoy as well.

Now I’m on the hunt for more adult science fiction! The books seen here are some of my favorites and sadly like… the only adult sci-fi books on my shelves (and some are even YA). I definitely need to find some more goodies!

I don’t know if I’ve taken any #bookstagram photos since March 😬 Do I even know how to do it anymore?

I felt the mood strike me and snapped a quick photo of some of my latest used book acquisitions. I read Beach Read in previous years and finally read People We Meet on Vacation this year which ended up being one of my few five star reads of 2020! Book Lovers wasn’t far behind that but I don’t have a physical copy of it yet.

Do you love Emily Henry’s romances? Do you have any more beach read recommendations? Let me know!

Some of my favorite shelves in my bookcase! Time for a #shelfiesunday since I don’t have any photos lined up 😆

My feelings for Instagram have been slowly dying so I haven’t had much motivation to take photos, even though I still enjoy doing it. I’ve somehow fallen under the TikTok spell, which was a surprise to us all, really 😅 If you’re on there, let me know your name so I can follow you too!

I read The Better Liar on whim a while back and totally loved it! There was a nice twist that I didn’t see coming and I feel like this book still flies under the radar.

Thrillers are always full of liars… and their titles will tell you too 😅 I rounded up some books to fit the “lying” theme!

These also happen to be some of my go-to thriller authors but I’m (almost) caught up on all of their books! Who have you been reading lately?

I ended up picking up The Downstairs Neighbor by Helen Cooper after seeing it was a so ale for review last year and I enjoyed my reading time so much! It was interesting and kept me guessing and I just really enjoyed this debut thriller.

Helen Cooper’s next book, The Other Guest, comes out in July and I can’t wait to read it! It’s a destination thriller with a “shocking death at a luxurious Italian resort” and I am here for it!

More romances… can you believe it?! 😆

They’re still creeping their way back into my reading line-up and when I saw The Wedding Crasher available for review request, I couldn’t pass it up having really enjoyed my read of The Worst Best Man! Here are some thoughts — thanks to @harpercollins & @harperaudio for the audiobook review copy!

r e v i e w • The Wedding Crasher was a fun read and I loved our main heroine Solange! She really brought the book to life, I loved how she went for what she wanted, and I loved her family moments. She was really the life of the book! Dean, on the other hand, felt really blah and *too* perfect, like an ideal of a man versus a real human. Some parts of his childhood were revealed to be the “cause” of his flaws but then it felt like there had to be a reason and he couldn’t just be a guy that maybe made a bad choice or had some hang-ups and work through them.
The plot was fun and I always love a fake dating trope! There were lots of moments where they would be caught, and other people got pulled into the scheme for some funny moments. Overall, this was a fun addition to this series of related stories but lacked a little magic for me to really stick with me as a new favorite / recommendation.

Have you read this one, or is it on your TBR? What are your feelings?
