Recent Book Purchases I'm Excited to Read

Of course I’ve added a few books to my (already overflowing) TBR. I’m a reader, that’s what we do — we! buy! all! the! books! haha. All jokes aside, I’ve become so much more intentional about the books I buy over the last couple years. I used to grab a copy of every book recommended to me (which resulted in me reading 20-30+ severely “meh” books that current Jen probably wouldn’t have picked up if she’d been smarter), but now that I know my specific reading taste, I’ve really dialed that part back. So, when I buy a book in 2025, it means I’m all about reading it. Here are a handful of books I’ve purchased over the last few weeks that I’m super excited to read.

December Reading Wrap Up

December reading… more like December listening haha. I didn’t read a single book — physically. But I did listen to 4 audiobooks, so that must count for something. I know I’m extreeeemely late to the December wrap up party, but let’s recap anyway!

November 2024 Book Club Pick: The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley

Guess what friends? I (finally) started a virtual book club — my FIRST ever book club — and I couldn’t be more excited! Because I love talking books and book opinions with others (no two people read a book with the same perspective), I wanted to bring together a group of book lovers to (very casually) bond over books. With the popularity of reading blowing up over the last several years, so many people are reading books again and that’s so great to see!

10 Books On My Fall Reading List

Happy fall reading season! Though I’m a serial mood reader, I love, love, love creating a fall reading list. There’s something about fall/spooky season that brings out my desire to read books that represent (or kind of represent) the vibe of the season. For the next few months, catch me curled on the couch with a good book, a hot coffee (or a chai latte like I’m sipping now), a sweatshirt, and a big comfy blanket (always). Believe me, I WILL turn the air conditioning down to achieve prime fall cozy. Last year, I read every book on my fall reading list — let’s see if the same results are in the cards this time around! I’ve got thrillers, mysteries, and romances queued up! Here’s a list of 10 books I’m hoping to read this fall.
