The title of this post is true, and I was a picky reader. I would even say the phrase "I am a picky reader" when I was younger and in school. I couldn't even tell you what exactly I envisioned for the type of books I liked when I was picky- I read, but was VERY selective with my reads, haha. I have to laugh at it now, as I look back. In the past couple of years, however, I have really let my reading guards down, and am just reading really anything. Well, not quite anything because I do not like super scary books that I cannot read before bed, haha.
I feel like I have had a personal reading renaissance! I really just want to be reading, and will read whatever I can get my hands on. I have realized that I enjoy many genres from nonfictions like science, history and biographies, to fictions that grab me in and tell a great story that I can picture in my head as I read along. I had the realization that I am no longer a picky reader when I asked my best girlfriends for some book recommendations, and I randomly chose one from the list before I read the synopsis. I actually picked something that sounds really good, and am excited to read it and share it!! I am so grateful for the extra time, due to quarantine, because I have been able to read so many great books.
If you have not seen it, I now have a blog page where I post books when I am done reading them. I did this because I started to read so much, and get questions about books, so now they live in one spot!
I also want to take some time on this post to share a couple of books I have recently finished:
1. American Royals- I was really late to the game on reading this one, and omg it was exactly what I wanted it to be. I always forget that I really enjoy things about the royal family (hello The Crown is amazing!). The altered reality/history of the United States in this book is so interesting and creative, I was hooked in the first 5 pages. I am about to start the sequel: Majesty.
2. Always and Forever, Lara Jean- This is the last book in the "To All the Boys I've Loved Before" series. I read the first two books a few months back, and did not get a chance to read this one because I had it in my apartment in NJ, and knew I would eventually be back to read it. I was kind of unsure of this book for the first-half. It definitely had the vibes of the first two books, but it just was not hooking me. However, the last 100 pages were so insane that it made me appreciate the entire book. I did not know how this series was going to end, but the ending was perfect, and I was wrecked...like actually shed a few tears! I would highly recommend this series as a fun, light, really cute read!
Here are some books that I recently purchased, and are on my list to read next-I always link to Amazon, but please think about supporting your local bookstore!:
1. Majesty
3. The Mothers
4. Ghosted
(I have had this one for a while, but I just need to read it, haha)
As always
