what i read this week!

2025/2/16 Edited to

... Read moreThis week, I dove into a variety of captivating reads that kept me turning the pages late into the night. Among them was "Sparrow Falls," a gripping tale of vulnerability and resilience that showcases the talent of Catherine Cowles, a New York Times bestselling author known for her ability to blend heat and heart in her romance stories. I also enjoyed a hockey romance titled "Playing for Keeps," which not only entertained but also provided a relatable exploration of love and complexity in relationships. In addition to traditional reads, I explored several audiobooks including "The Paradise Problem" by Christina Lauren. This tale was whimsically narrated, providing a light-hearted yet thought-provoking enjoyment that I rated 3 out of 5. For those who love emotional journeys, "Promise Me Sunshine" by Cara Bastone resonated deeply with its themes of loss and finding oneself again, earning a commendable rating of 4.75. For readers interested in spice levels in their romance, I've rated my week’s reading experiences on a scale, ensuring there's something for everyone. Whether you prefer steamy stories or light romances, I hope my summaries and ratings assist you in selecting your next book to dive into. And remember to check out the #BookTok and #Lemon8BookClub for great recommendations and community engagement!

Here are the books I read this week and my thoughts on them! My highlight was definitely This Is Why We Lied by Karin Slaughter it was SO unputdownable! It’s a very gruesome thriller so check your triggers if you’re going to read it, but I highly recommend if you like dark thrillers 📚 #lemon8pa
