“The Art Thief” is told like a documentary, but sometimes it felt like fiction, and I had to remind myself that this is a true story! The writing was dry in places and wish it’d been told with more suspense. I’m impressed with how much research the author did! 3.5 ⭐️ #Bookrecs #Booksky💙📚

Does anyone else struggle with brain fog as part of illness or meds? I have trouble reading sometimes due to this. It’s physically hard to read the words on the page or mentally hard to process the meaning with audiobooks. Any tips? #booksky💙📚 #chronicillness #cancer #brainfog #books

I’m stuck in the middle of three books. Like right around 50% for each. I WANT to finish them, I like them. But none are page turners. How do you get motivated to finish a book? #booksky

“The Ghostwriter” by Julie Clark is a suspenseful mystery that spans across decades. I couldn’t tell what was the truth until the very end. Loved the twisty plot and connecting with the characters. Not too gory. Highly recommend this story and the author’s other two books! 5⭐️ #Bookrecs #Booksky💙📚

Here are some of my favorite authors 📖 ✨Taylor Jenkins Reid ✨Emily Henry ✨Julie Clark ✨Sarah Bessey ✨Kate Bowler ✨Austin Channing Brown ✨Brene Brown ✨Sarah J Maas

I am fond of writing letters, and this didn’t let me down. Loved each character, all had their own voice and writing style. What a pleasure getting to know Sybil and everyone in her life, pieces at a time, like a puzzle. Heartwarming, sad at times, but full. Hardcopy & audiobook: 5⭐️ #Booksky💙📚

Draco Malfoy & the Mortifying Ordeal of Being In Love This was my first Dramione fan fiction and WHAT A DELIGHT. Idk if I’ll read another one bc this one was perfect. Enemies to lovers. Banter. Actual science mixing with magical lore?! Beautiful artwork too. 5⭐️ #Fanfiction #Booksky💙📚

DNF. Lost interest halfway. I hate reading stories that romanticize affairs. The FMC kept trying to convince herself of things that weren’t true to how she felt. I didn’t read the whole book, but I guessed the “twist” which seemed obvious because of the timeline of the story. 2.5 ⭐️ #Booksky💙📚

Well shoot. “Just for the Summer” is a PERFECT finale of the Part of Your World trilogy, and my favorite one out of the three. My heart was thirsting for a solid (not fluffy) rom com, and this was it! Love isn’t always grand; it’s in the little every day things. 5⭐️ #Bookrecs #Booksky💙📚

The author is a friend, so I had to read it! Due to my own upbringing, I could empathize with some of her stories. I had a hard time following the narrative in some places, but I got the overall themes. These stories are told so other abuse survivors know they aren’t alone. 3⭐️ #Booksky💙📚

“Ruthless Vows” is a satisfying sequel and ending to “Divine Rivals.” Love, war, yearning, magic, gods, villains, and strong FMC. What more could I want? Maybe a little more letter exchanges. The typewriters are characters too! I liked the first book more but still 5⭐️ #Books #Bookrecs #Booksky💙📚

The story is less mystery & more found family. Slow paced. Protagonist is described by another character: “Vera is quite possibly the most vexing person he has ever met.” And SHE IS. All characters are skittish at first. I give it 3 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️ and would not read again. #Books #Bookrecs #Booksky💙📚

“Divine Rivals” got to me. I’m a sucker for letter writing and magic. The relationships moved me to the core. I knew I was going to be devastated by the end bc there is a sequel. I’m still mad about it but thrilled that I read it. Can’t wait to jump back into the story. 5🌟 #Bookrecs #Booksky💙📚

Magical and cozy, like hot tea. I did drink tea with this book - lemon ginger to be exact. 🫖 Lovely characters who are a myriad of fun personalities and excentricities. Includes romance (and a bit of spice), family, and why human connection is the point of living. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 #Books #Bookrecs #Booksky💙📚

4⭐️ Colin certainly has a lot of stories! Slow to start but sped up as it went. The chapter about 9/11 is especially poignant. I loved the inside scoop about SNL. Enjoyed hearing his stories in a sarcastic tone but would’ve loved more genuine insights into his life too. #books #bookrecs #booksky 💙📚

The Wedding People: 5⭐️ This story was pleasantly and refreshingly honest. I didn’t know where it was meandering, but I was along for the ride. I cared about the characters, and I related so much to the protagonist. Life is messy but sometimes in a good way. CW: dark humor, death, suicidal thoughts

Beautiful book. I was immersed and deeply moved by Austin’s path of pain and joy. I am someone with chronic illness who has navigated so many challenges from my body, Austin’s narratives about her own journey spoke to my whole self. Thank you. 5⭐️ @austinchanning.bsky.social #BookSky 💙📚 #BlackJoy
