Finding time to read lately has been so hard so most my reads this year have been via audiobooks. Unfortunately though, I feel like the narrator(s)/narration style can really ruin good books. If you have any amazing audiobook recs, please send them my way! #lastnownext #currentlyreadi̇ng #book

A bookshelf filled with books, featuring text overlays "LAST, NOW, NEXT" and the titles "Instalove," "Life and Other Love Songs," and "The Rebel King." A small open book icon and a wall art piece of a person reading are also visible, with a "SWIPE" indicator.

A pink tablet displays the cover of "InstaLove by Danielle Allen." Text describes the book with a 4-star rating, noting "Black MCs," a "slow burn, but then 🔥🔥," and categorizing it as "Contemporary romance."

A hand holds the book "Life and Other Love Songs by Anissa Gray." Accompanying text indicates being "170 pages in," that it "Follows a father, daughter, and mother," a "3 word review: Men are trash," and a content warning for "alcoholism."

Three books are stacked on a white textured surface, labeled 'Last Now Next'. The books are 'Run Rose Run' by Dolly Parton & James Patterson, 'The Measure' by Nikki Erlick, and 'The Favor' by Nicci French, representing past, current, and future reads.

The last book I read was Run Rose Run. It was good, but not my favorite. I really liked the music industry aspect, but I didn’t think the thriller part added much to the story. Currently, I’m reading The Measure. I am LOVING it so far! I love stories like this that really make me think. Next
