Summer 2025 Book Sale | My Top Picks

Hi Friends,
Once again, Amazon is having their Buy One, Get One 50% Off book sale. Just like in the past, I’m going to share the books I’d definitely recommend picking up while they’re part of this deal. Since June is my birthday month, I’m actually trying not to buy any books, so I won’t be participating in the sale, but I still wanted to give you my recommendations.


Silver Elite by Dani Francis
This is the first book in a dystopian romance series, so it’s definitely giving Hunger Games and Divergent era vibes. There’s been a lot of talk in the book community about this one, but most of it is about the author, not the book itself. From what I’ve heard, the book is amazing and getting great reviews. Since it’s on sale, I’d definitely recommend grabbing it if you’ve been curious about the hype.


One Golden Summer by Carly Fortune
It’s summertime, so what’s better than a summer romance? This one seems like it has a little more depth than your typical romcom, which I love. I believe it’s a friends-to-lovers story and follows Alice, who spends the summer with her Nan at a lakeside cottage, just like they did one summer when she was a teenager. She ends up connecting with a man named Charlie, who happened to be the subject of a photo she took all those summers ago.


Summer Romance by Annabelle Monaghan
I haven’t read anything by this author before, but I’ve heard she writes closed-door romances that are perfect for summer. This book sounds like a quick and easy seasonal read. It follows a single mom who’s just trying to get her messy life back on track and I’m always here for that kind of story.


Hide by Kiersten White
This is a thriller I’ve been dying to read. It sounds like the perfect summer suspense novel. It’s set in an abandoned amusement park and centers around a competition. I love throwing a thriller into my summer reading because it breaks up all the romances and gives me those Summerween vibes.


Happy Place by Emily Henry
I definitely don’t need another copy, but if I were recommending just one amazing summer read to grab during the sale, it would be this one. I truly think you need to be in your late 20s to early 30s to fully appreciate it. It’s a wonderful second-chance romance with strong themes of friendship and growing up. I loved it.

Seven Days in June by Tia Williams
Obviously, the title screams perfect June read. I’ve been so intrigued by this one, and if I were shopping the sale, this would be in my cart. I’ve heard nothing but good things. It follows two writers who get a second chance at love, and it’s set in New York City, basically the ultimate summer romance setting.


There you have it—a few books I recommend checking out. Take a look at the synopses to see if any interest you, and maybe you can grab them while they’re part of the deal. If you enjoyed this post, please give it a like and share it with other readers. Your support means a lot to me, so if you could sign up for my mailing list, that would be amazing.

Hi Friends,
I’m in a major reading slump and need my bookish crew to help me choose my next book! Even though I have a TBR list for the month, my natural mood reader personality is taking over. I’m craving a mystery, thriller, horror, or a cozy fantasy. I know they’re all different genres, but I’m just in the mood to read a bit of everything right now. Except for romance books, because I’m pretty much romanced out for the time being.

April 2025 | Indie Book Releases

Hi Friends,
Let’s discuss some indie April book releases! I’m passionate about indie books because not enough people talk about the awesome self-published books out there. But don’t worry, I’ve got this! Get ready to find some new indie books to add to your TBR. I’m so hyped for these indie April releases!


Awakening by J. Ross (April 1st)
The Northern Kingdom sought to destroy Rydell, and Adanya sacrificed herself to stop them. Her spell was meant to put her in a coma for months, but she awakens seventy years later to find her kingdom gone. The betrayer who doomed her now rules with dangerous magic, and she must join forces with the descendants of those she once loved. To defeat him, Adanya must unlock her own power—and find the courage to face someone who once meant everything to her.


The ABCs of You & Me by Megan McSpadden (April 1st)
Sophie Hore is eager for a fresh start as a school social worker, but her first day takes an unexpected turn when she runs into Foster, her childhood crush and best friend’s brother. Foster loves his job as an educational assistant, but seeing Sophie again stirs long-buried feelings. When Sophie needs a date for an alumni event, Foster agrees on the condition that she pretends to be his girlfriend at a barbecue to dodge his matchmaking friends. Their deal quickly spirals into a series of creative “friend dates” through the alphabet, blurring the lines between pretend and reality.


A Taste For Lies by LC Whitehouse (April 8th)
The best lies are mostly true, and Alora knows the Guild’s Ten Rules of Spy Craft better than anyone. But when she is caught by the terrifying yet alluring beast prince, he surprises her by recruiting her for an impossible heist to steal from his own father, the king. As their dangerous mission unfolds, forbidden attraction ignites and blurs the lines between allies and enemies. Now, Alora must decide if she can trust the beast prince or if his promises are just beautifully crafted lies.


Cuddle Like You Mean It by Shea West (April 8th)
Staley is great at her job, and with her dad’s medical bills piling up, she takes every cuddle client she can. Realizing she’s one class short of her degree only adds to her stress, and she definitely doesn’t have time for a charming TA. Theo, a quiet poet and reluctant TA, keeps his confidence hidden behind sonnet critiques and a secret side job. But when a hungover Theo accidentally books Staley for a cuddle session, their connection deepens, forcing them to decide if their story deserves another stanza or should remain unwritten.


If Love Could Kill by Riva Frye (April 22nd)
Gwen thought she’d escaped her dark past when she started a new life in the Carolinas, but danger was never far behind. When she meets Cole, a widowed father, they share an undeniable connection, but both carry hidden secrets. As their relationship grows, Gwen uncovers shocking truths about Cole’s past that shatter everything she believed. Now, she must untangle a web of lies and betrayal before it’s too late.


Everything You Are by Brittney Lauren (April 24th)
Abby, tired of failed relationships, finds herself in a tough situation with nowhere to turn until her reclusive neighbor, Kaiser, unexpectedly comes to her rescue. She’s torn between accepting his kindness and questioning if her growing feelings are one-sided. Kaiser, who despises chaos, can’t help but step in when Abby’s in trouble, even though he’s spent years keeping his distance. As they grow closer, both struggle with their feelings, wondering if they can overcome their barriers and find something real together.

Buy 3, For 2 Sale | My Top Picks!

Hi Friends,
Amazon is having a buy three for the price of two book sale. I skipped the last book sale, but I posted about some books you should check out. I’m not sure if I’ll buy any myself, but here are some books you should grab while they’re on sale!



Quicksilver by Callie Hart
This romantasy is a huge hit on BookTok! It’s supposed to be full of action, witty banter, and an enemies-to-lovers romance. It started as an indie book, but now a traditional publisher put it out.



Sunrise On The Reaping by Suzanne Collins
This is the newest addition to The Hunger Games series. Everyone loves this book, and I can’t wait to read the original trilogy, so I don’t miss out. If you’re into dystopian books with action, adventure, and killer writing, snag this series while it’s on sale!



The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
I didn’t love this story, but the twist at the end was awesome! If you’re interested in thrillers or have heard people talking about this one, it’s well worth picking up, especially with this deal.
Related Post: The Silent Patient | Book Review



Throne Of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
Although I haven’t read any of SJM’s books, I’m aware of her immense popularity. Not only is the complete Throne of Glass box set discounted, but it’s also part of the three-for-two sale. I’ve heard this fantasy series about an assassin is a beloved favorite among book readers.



Off To The Races by Elsie Silver
I became an Elsie Silver fan after reading (and loving) her “Chestnut Springs” series. This is the first book in a new series that is, I believe, supposed to be read before Chestnut Springs. This is a small town ranch romance, and I believe the MMC is the FMC’s boss!

How To Survive Your Murder by Danielle Valentine
This book is perfect for fans of cheesy horror films. I love this campy slasher book and jumped at the chance to recommend it when I saw it on sale. If you love 90’s teen horror movies, you’ll adore this crazy, bloody, YA horror story that just so happens to take place on Halloween.

These are just a handful of the books I’d suggest adding to your Amazon cart before the sale is over. Show your support by liking this post and following the blog for more updates!

Valentine’s Day Sweetheart | Book Tag

Hi Friends,
Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you’re spending today with people you love, or just enjoying some me-time! To celebrate Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d do a book tag inspired by it. YouTuber ‪@PamperedPages‬ created Valentine’s Day Sweetheart Tag, which has some really fun romance related book questions!


It’s not really a Valentine’s candy, but I love sour gummies. But honestly, I’d rather have Valentine’s Day donuts than candy.


Absolutely! I love all types of books, but I’m especially into adult romances and romantasy novels these days.
Related Post: Love On The Brain | Book Review


I usually read a lot of romance novels around Valentine’s Day, but I’m a mood reader, so I don’t stick to one genre. However, because most books I read have a romantic subplot, they still fit the week’s romance theme.


A handwritten love letter! Being an affirmation girl, a simple love letter is enough to make my day feel extra special. And flowers would be a really nice bonus!


Of all the romance authors, I probably own the most books by Ali Hazelwood and Abby Jimenez. I love Ali’s books so much; I buy them as soon as they come out. Believe it or not, I have all of Abby Jimenez’s books and haven’t read a single one. It’s kinda embarrassing to say.
Related Post: Authors I’ll Love | Female Authors


That’ll probably always be Five Feet Apart. It’s one of the saddest romance novels I’ve ever read. This book has the best teen love story ever! But if you read it, get ready for heartbreak.
Related Post: Five Feet Apart | Book Review


This is a really hard question, but I’ll say Epicot. It’s a bit out there, but wouldn’t a Valentine’s Day date trying all that delicious food be so fun?


Definitely “Holly” by Adalyn Grace! It’s a Belladonna novella—a holiday one. I’m a huge fan of that series, so I can’t wait for this book!
Related Post: Belladonna | Book Review


“Love means constantly saying you’re sorry, and then doing better” is one of my all-time favorite quotes about love. It’s a quote from Emily Henry’s Happy Place, a really great second-chance romance novel!
Related Post: Happy Place | Book Review


So I checked, and I’ve got way more books with red spines than pink ones. Seriously, I never realized I had that many red-spined books!


I hope you enjoyed this fun, Valentine’s-themed book tag! Don’t forget to comment your answers and a heart emoji if you’ve made it this far. Follow to the blog—it’s free and you won’t miss any posts!

Be My Valentine | Book Recommendations

Hi Friends,
I wanted to share some book recommendations perfect for Valentine’s Day! However, I didn’t want these recs to be filled with only romance books because I know that there are so many types of readers. Some people might only read mystery/thrillers while others prefer fantasy, which is why I create this list with many readers in mind.


The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose

I think this mystery thriller would be a fun Valentine’s Day read. The story follows a woman whose husband stands accused of murdering his lover. Her role now is to defend her husband in court, literally acting as his attorney in the case brought against him. I’ve only read one of this author’s books, and although I wasn’t crazy about it, I’ve heard great things about this one. There’s also a film adaptation in progress, and a sequel book coming soon.


One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid

To be completely honest, I wasn’t a fan of this book. However, it’s a great Valentine’s Day read if you want something emotional with a happy-ish ending. Emma, in the book, ends up marrying her high school sweetheart Jesse. Following Jesse’s unexpected death, Emma returns home and eventually begins a relationship with a former friend. But then, surprise—Jess is alive and wants Emma back, except Emma’s moved on. This book is a total emotional rollercoaster!
Related Post: One True Loves | Book Review


Happily Never After by Lynn Painter

This romcom has a unique twist: the FMC is cynical about love and relationships. To rescue people from terrible marriages, Sophie and Max become a wedding-objecting pair. If you’re a girl who likes witty banter and quick, not-too-mushy romances, you’ll love this book. It’s a friends-to-lovers story with some steamy scenes—if you’re okay with that, it’s a good read!
Related Post: Happily Never After | Book Review


Lonely Hearts Day by Kasie West

This quick YA novella takes place on Valentine’s Day. Scarlett’s not anti-Valentine’s Day, but she’d rather celebrate being single. So, enlisting the help of her longtime best friend, Jack, she hosts a party for all the single students at their high school. However, the undeniable spark between Jack and Scarlett complicates her independent, single identity. This sounds like the perfect lighthearted teen romance to me!


Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber

I think the book title practically shouts “fairytale romance”. This young adult romantasy novel, the first in a trilogy, continues the story of the Prince of Hearts from the Caraval series. This book promises an incredible romance intertwined with a fascinating fantasy story! If you’re looking for a fantasy romance this Valentine’s Day, this book is for you.
