Spooky season calls for stories set in haunted houses that whisper scary things to you to drive you mad. 4🌟 Anything Harrison writes is fun!

This was equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and a whole lot of unhinged in the BEST way! I ended up loving this flawed hero, dark humor read!

We celebrate and read diverse stories all year long, but this month we shine an extra light on books that honor Hispanic voices - their culture, traditions, and sometimes, their struggles. I challenge you to read this and hear the voice of a boy whose story deserves to be told!

UNPUTDOWNABLE but oh my geez this is a horrifying, haunting, and devastating read from the very beginning until the very end. Definitely check your trigger warnings before you dive into this one because once you start you won’t be able to get away.

You’ll get some wonderful yummy recipes with this read! 😆 No, really! 🧆🍝🍜🥘 Celebrity chef Maria Capello built her empire on charm, talent, and maybe…murder. 👀 Maybe some recipes should never be shared! If you’re a foodie and a mystery reader this was UNPUTDOWNABLE!

This is an unflinching, gut-punch read that pulls you in from the first page and refuses to let you come up for air. It’s messy, raw, & oh so devastating, but it’s also so very achingly human. I’m emotionally drained, disturbed, & deeply moved all at once.

UNPUTDOWNABLE! 5🌟 AGAIN! A gothic horror, Mexican historical fiction read. The perfect read to open up this spooky season!

With dissent there is still hope.

What if we stopped turning away and started leaning into empathy? What if compassion weren’t seen as weakness but honored as our greatest strength? What if we worked tirelessly so that every child felt safe, seen, and loved in their schools, neighborhoods, and homes?

Favorite book 2025!!!!! (so far) Grab tissues. Go to your comfy spot. Soak it all in. Backman can do no wrong!

UNPUTDOWNABLE! A great thriller mystery read about a teenage girl raised off the grid in isolation by her father. She begins to unravel the disturbing truths of her past, that leads her on a journey through 1990s San Francisco and the early days of the internet.

May was marvelous! BURY OUR BONES IN THE MIDNIGHT SOIL and PARK AVENUE were my top favorite reads!

Did you know that in the late 1860s, a group of freed people from Mississippi established a self-sustaining, cooperative community they called the Kingdom of the Happy Land? I didn’t. I do now! This was a great historical fiction read!

UNPUTDOWNABLE! I didn’t think I’d love this one as much as I did but it was soooooo goooooood! I loved the family drama and mystery—it made the book absolutely UNPUTDOWNABLE! 5⭐️ read! #aapiheritagemonth #reneeahdieh #parkavenuebook #aapibooks

I went from a MEH 3 ⭐️ to an ALRIGHT-ALRIGHT 3.5–4 ⭐️ and now I definitely want to read book 2. So yeah, I was annoyed at first but now I’m intrigued. 😅 It’s not perfect, but it hooked me by the end. It’s flawed but fun!

These women are living a life of being used, silenced, hidden, or punished for wanting more. I loved that this was not just about monsters, it’s about what women become when they are denied their voices for too long.

If you know and love an educator — a teacher, librarian, counselor, nurse — PLEASE READ, THEN ACT. 📣

If Kennedy Ryan writes it then I’m reading it! Because she can throw down with the romance reads! And that main male character, Maverick, is a swoooooony heart-melter!

The power of a BOOK! The power of a BOOK CLUB! Especially one for troublesome women!👏🏻 What a great read that shows how a single book can challenge the status quo and ignite a quiet revolution!

A 3-day weekend means MORE TIME TO READ! 🙌🤩📚 Don't know what to read? TRY SOME OF THESE!

April was a great reading month with two romance and 2 mystery great reads! My favorite was KING OF ASHES, a 6🌟 read!

UNPUTDOWNABLE!! Another great thriller mystery that absolutely hooked me. A debut novel about family trauma, forgiveness, and survival, wrapped inside a suspenseful mystery. It is NOT a fun family reunion, but it is a great 4🌟 read! #readingrecommendation #readingrecs #mysterythriller

This #romantasy did NOT disappoint! It’s action-packed, has vampires and humans, and an aching romance in a world where you have to be ruthless to survive. This is Book1 of The Crowns of Nyaxia series, which will be 6 books total, broken up into 3 duologies. THAT’S A WHOLE LOTTA FANTASY FOR YA!

Adult dystopian romance recommendations please! #bookrecs #adultdystopian #dystopianromance

This reminded me of Mad Men but with power heels, shoulder pads, and unapologetically ambitious women! What I loved most is how this flips the script - instead of watching men climb the corporate ladder, we see women—flawed, fierce, and fabulous! 💋👠

UNPUTDOWNABLE!!! A 6🌟read!! S.A. Cosby is another automatic read author for me. Whatever he writes, I will read it. And he has outdone himself with this Godfather-inspired Southern crime epic.

“LOVE STORIES CAN SAVE THE WORLD!” And this romance read has heart, humor, and healing that left me smiling, swooning, and, most of all, seen!!!

UNPUTDOWNABLE! This one grabs you and doesn’t let go until the final page. Set against the fancy glitz of a Sweet 16 party in the hauntingly opulent Texas Hill Country, this novel delivers a wild mystery thriller read with an ending that did not disappoint! 👏🏻

Emily Henry does it again! This is now my FAVORITE Emily Henry read! A great dual-layered story that’s equal parts mystery and romance. And I really loved the slow-burn romance! An absolute 5⭐️ must-read!

As someone who lost a parent to dementia, reading this was heartbreaking/validating. Brought up many emotions—grief, guilt, anger of losing someone in slow motion. There’s also comfort reading those feelings—proof they’re not just mine. That’s the power of books—remind us of our shared humanity.

A 6⭐️ read - brutal, brilliant, and heartbreaking! I’m not sure reading this right now, during America’s version of the Hunger Games was a good idea. I do like my dystopia in my fiction books, not in real life! A gut-wrenching addition to one of my favorite series ever. Go read it right now!

“In Lak'ech" is a Mayan philosophy/greeting, meaning "You are my other me" - emphasizing interconnectedness, respect for others - everyone is connected and our actions towards others reflect on ourselves. Some Americans desperately need reminding of this. Daily. With visuals!

UNPUTDOWNABLE! A great thriller read of a group of FBI agents that hunt down a murderer seeking his own justice. If you like FBI thrillers you’ll love this one!

Meta doesn’t want you to read this. I love a good memoir! An explosive memoir charting one woman’s career at the heart of one of the most influential companies, this book gives you a front-row seat to FB, the decisions that have shaped world events in recent decades, & the people who made them.

Sometimes, a book finds you. That’s the magic they possess. The perfect book for you can arrive at just the right moment, wrapping around your heart and holding space for the emotions you carry that can somehow weigh heavy and need a place to rest. This is one of those books for me.

I love John Green's Non-Fiction more than his Fiction. I learn so much while being thoroughly entertained!

In one of the hardest times of my life, hospice was there. Their care, compassion, and knowledge made an unbearable time just a little more manageable.

In families like these, secrets are sacred, and silence is the ultimate bond. 4⭐️ #jordysbookclub #mysterythriller #bookstagram #readingrecommendation #readingrecs #librariansofinstagram

UNPUTDOWNABLE historical fiction read that takes you back to the heart of the Harlem Renaissance, highlighting the life and legacy of Jessie Redmon Fauset—a literary powerhouse often overshadowed by the very writers she helped shape. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #historicalfiction #HarlemRenaissance #harlemrhapsody

The House and Senate Republicans have recently released their respective Republican budget resolutions for fiscal year 2025. While Social Security & Medicare remain untouched, MEDICAID faces reductions of up to $880 billion, potentially affecting many Americans. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
