3.5/5⭐️

This was a little bit of a mixed bag for me. However, I did round to a 4 because the good outweighed the not so good…plus, #coverlove. 😀

If interested, here‘s my GR review:

If We Were a Movie | Zakiya N Jamal

pick

Such a cute YA rivals-to-lovers romance! I loved the Horizon Theater setting and all the side characters—it brought back fond memories of my own movie theater days. Rochelle and Amira had great chemistry, and even though Rochelle had some oblivious moments and I didn‘t love the prank subplot, this was a fun, feel-good read with a lot of heart and community love. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #CoverLove

I've just been sitting staring at this cover thinking how much I love it! Probably should actually read the book.

I wish I loved this book more, but it ended up being a soft pick for me. The concept was very intriguing, but it also felt a little draggy through the middle bits. I've been kind of sad lately, so I'm not sure if this book really was pretty melancholy, or if it just felt that way to me 😂 But look at that GORGEOUS cover! I honestly may keep it just because it's SO pretty.

TheAromaofBooks @DieAReader @PuddleJumper @julieclair @Yuki_Onna @AnnCrystal - Thank you all so much!! 💕 Grief is such a strange thing - you know that you are going to come through it and be okay (although never the same), but you still can't just... skip ahead to that part. But we are getting there a day at a time. 3mo

Here are a couple of 4.25/5⭐️ romantasy books that I‘ve read recently and enjoyed more than I expected to. They are both first books (the Williams in a duology and not sure how many more for Gregovic).

That Sleepless cover though…#coverlove💛.

No More Tears: The Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson | Gardiner Harris

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Current front runner for my best nonfiction read of 2025. This is going to piss you off, but it‘s an important read, so please I urge you to pick it up. So many scandals. These companies DO NOT CARE. They just don‘t. Please also add Empire of Pain by the incredible Patrick Radden Keefe to your TBR, if you haven‘t read it yet.

#coverlove

Amiable Reading this right now! And I wholeheartedly second your recommendation of “Empire of Pain” —that is a fabulous, infuriating read. 4mo

JenReadsAlot Empire of Pain was excellent @Amiable 4mo

britt_brooke @Amiable @JenReadsAlot I had the pleasure of hearing him speak and get my book signed. I still need to read Say Nothing, but Empire of Pain and Rogues were excellent! 4mo

Amiable @britt_brooke “Say Nothing” is also great! And the series adaptation of it on FX/Hulu was fantastic. 4mo
