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 😱🤯

Spooky season calls for stories set in haunted houses that whisper scary things to you to drive you mad.
4🌟 Anything Harrison writes is fun!

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.

You’ll get some wonderful yummy recipes with this read! 😆 No, really! 🧆🍝🍜🥘

Celebrity chef Maria Capello built her empire on charm, talent, and maybe…murder. 👀 Maybe some recipes should never be shared!

If you’re a foodie and a mystery reader this was UNPUTDOWNABLE!

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.

UNPUTDOWNABLE! 5🌟 AGAIN!
A gothic horror, Mexican historical fiction read.

The perfect read to open up this spooky season!

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?

Favorite book 2025!!!!! (so far)
Grab tissues. Go to your comfy spot. Soak it all in. Backman can do no wrong!

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.

May was marvelous! BURY OUR BONES IN THE MIDNIGHT SOIL and PARK AVENUE were my top favorite reads!

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!

UNPUTDOWNABLE! I didn’t think I’d love this one as much as I did but it was soooooo goooooood!
I loved the family drama and mystery—it made the book absolutely UNPUTDOWNABLE! 5⭐️ read! #aapiheritagemonth #reneeahdieh #parkavenuebook #aapibooks

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 you know and love an educator — a teacher, librarian, counselor, nurse — PLEASE READ, THEN ACT. 📣

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!

A 3-day weekend means MORE TIME TO READ! 🙌🤩📚 Don't know what to read? TRY SOME OF THESE!

April was a great reading month with two romance and 2 mystery great reads! My favorite was KING OF ASHES, a 6🌟 read!
May 1, 2025 at 11:39 AM
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!
