Any good book recs? I’m trying to get back into leisure reading and want something lighthearted, preferably rom-com or motivational. Thanks!

I’m not typically a fantasy genre person but read Fourth Wing with my book club and thought it was worth the hype. It’s a rom-antasy, I guess ‘fusion’ left the restaurants and came to the library 📚

Spotify has audio books now and I just started the wedding date, it’s cute.

Last year I read Colleen Hoover & Taylor Jenkins Reid - they’re fast reads if you’re into it. Verity, It Ends with Us, Daisy Jones, Evelyn Hugo.

I second It Ends With Us and Evelyn Hugo!

I like to read leisure books but recently love business books by audio.

If you want a rom story with a little smut I loved the series A Court of Thorns and Roses.

Colleen Hoover: It Ends With Us
Lucy Score: Things We Never Got Over
Taylor Jenkins Reid: Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

Also a bit more YA lit but a series I loved that was an easy and fun read was The Thousandth Floor by Katherine McGee

I thought about audio books, but feel like old school physical books has a different charm.

I went to the bookstore earlier this week and read the cover of Colleen Hoovers “it ends with us”…maybe a temporary disconnect, but didn’t jump at me. 💁‍♀️

I prefer physical books too. I need to concentrate at work so focusing on my task & hearing the book helps.

I have read a lot of Attica Locke. I typically pick my books based on my mom, MIL or Goodreads lol. Happy page turning.
