One of my 2025 goals? Read more books.

And yes, I’m counting audiobooks—fight me.

In March, I made my way through a mix of romance, drama, and a little emotional damage (because what’s reading without a few books wrecking you?).

Some were hits, some were… well, I finished them, so that’s something. If you’ve read any of these, tell me your thoughts! And if you have any recs for next month, drop them below—I’m always looking for my next obsession.
