Human-eating zombies.✅
Humans gone mad.✅
The world is in chaos.✅
AND ROMANCE!✅
Yes, please! 😂
Who knew I’d love a zombie rom-com so much! This was the perfect kind of distraction I needed during the fall of our democracy.
I need book 2 to come out like yesterday because that ending left me 😱🤯

This was equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and a whole lot of unhinged in the BEST way!
I ended up loving this flawed hero, dark humor read!

We celebrate and read diverse stories all year long, but this month we shine an extra light on books that honor Hispanic voices - their culture, traditions, and sometimes, their struggles.
I challenge you to read this and hear the voice of a boy whose story deserves to be told!

UNPUTDOWNABLE but oh my geez this is a horrifying, haunting, and devastating read from the very beginning until the very end.
Definitely check your trigger warnings before you dive into this one because once you start you won’t be able to get away.

This is an unflinching, gut-punch read that pulls you in from the first page and refuses to let you come up for air. It’s messy, raw, & oh so devastating, but it’s also so very achingly human.
I’m emotionally drained, disturbed, & deeply moved all at once.

What if we stopped turning away and started leaning into empathy?
What if compassion weren’t seen as weakness but honored as our greatest strength?
What if we worked tirelessly so that every child felt safe, seen, and loved in their schools, neighborhoods, and homes?

UNPUTDOWNABLE! A great thriller mystery read about a teenage girl raised off the grid in isolation by her father. She begins to unravel the disturbing truths of her past, that leads her on a journey through 1990s San Francisco and the early days of the internet.

Did you know that in the late 1860s, a group of freed people from Mississippi established a self-sustaining, cooperative community they called the Kingdom of the Happy Land?
I didn’t. I do now!
This was a great historical fiction read!

I went from a MEH 3 ⭐️ to an ALRIGHT-ALRIGHT 3.5–4 ⭐️ and now I definitely want to read book 2. So yeah, I was annoyed at first but now I’m intrigued. 😅 It’s not perfect, but it hooked me by the end. It’s flawed but fun!

These women are living a life of being used, silenced, hidden, or punished for wanting more. I loved that this was not just about monsters, it’s about what women become when they are denied their voices for too long.

If Kennedy Ryan writes it then I’m reading it! Because she can throw down with the romance reads!
And that main male character, Maverick, is a swoooooony heart-melter!

The power of a BOOK! The power of a BOOK CLUB! Especially one for troublesome women!👏🏻
What a great read that shows how a single book can challenge the status quo and ignite a quiet revolution!

UNPUTDOWNABLE!! Another great thriller mystery that absolutely hooked me. A debut novel about family trauma, forgiveness, and survival, wrapped inside a suspenseful mystery. It is NOT a fun family reunion, but it is a great 4🌟 read! #readingrecommendation #readingrecs #mysterythriller

This #romantasy did NOT disappoint! It’s action-packed, has vampires and humans, and an aching romance in a world where you have to be ruthless to survive. This is Book1 of The Crowns of Nyaxia series, which will be 6 books total, broken up into 3 duologies. THAT’S A WHOLE LOTTA FANTASY FOR YA!
