I am not sure the last time, if at all, I shared books that I had read/am reading. During grad school, I did not have much time for recreational reading, but post graduation quarantine life gave a lot of time for fun reading! I am sharing what I read in the past 4-ish months, and what I am currently reading. I hope I can stay on this reading grind as long as possible! After you peruse my reads, I would love to know what you have read, and what you recommend I read next. I have some ideas, but I love to know what others have loved.
Books I Read:
If you have not read this series, you must!! This is the last book of the trilogy, and the most wild, in my opinion. I often looked up from reading and said "WHAT!!!?!" out loud. I feel like it is a really good summer read because its fun, juicy, and a great escape.
I liked reading this during quarantine because I could follow it up with watching the Hulu TV version of it, haha. I liked the book a lot better than the TV version (they took too many creative liberties with the TV series, I think). Another page turner with unexpected twists that was a fun read.
Yes this is a YA book, and yes you need to read it. It is the cutest, funniest, sweetest read. When the Netflix movie version came out a while ago, I loved it. I had no idea that the movie was actually based off of a book until after I watched it many times, and knew I had to read it/them (it is a series of 3!). I totally agree with my friend Phoebe, and am #TeamPK all the way! I am also kicking myself for not grabbing the third book when I packed to come to Pennsylvania back in March..
This is the second book of To All the Boys I loved Before. Still just as cute, and you really pick a side and root for it in this one. Any shocked I rooted for PK?!
This book is my most recent one I finished. It is by a Black author, Brit Bennett, and everyone needs to read this book. It is a fictional story that brings up strong points about race, racism, and the concept of colorism. The perspective is so interesting, and I am glad I could learn a great deal on how to be a better ally and anti-racist. There's a lot packed into this novel, and the story is incredible. I am a slow reader, but was so invested in the plot that I read this one in no time! I will definitely be reading other books by this author! I read this one on the Kindle app on my iPad because the book is on backorder- just a heads up if you want to read it order now for later or do a digital book to start instantly :)
Currently Reading:
I am about 50 pages in, and just astonished about how this girl and her family live. This book is a memoir, and I haven't read in nonfiction in a while, so this is exactly what I needed, haha.
I downloaded this to my iPad the other day. I started to read it right then, but was sucked in by the first paragraph, and had to stop so I could get some studying done. I have heard this one is great read, and am excited to finish!
What's on Deck:
Why haven't I read this one yet!! Just got it in the mail!
This is a new book by Kevin Kwan who wrote the Crazy Rich Asians series, so naturally this one is on my TBR list!
As always,
