Sometimes a cover just speaks to you, and the rational part of your brain takes a backseat. I’m definitely guilty of picking up books based purely on vibes and I feel like there's something satisfying about letting your instincts take the lead. Here are some that totally got me: 📚 What you are looking for is in the library by Michiko Aoyama - Something about the soft colors and quiet atmosphere just pulled me in. Instant comfort vibes. 🌊 The Swimmers by Julie Otsuka (Fig Tree edition) - The design is so simple but so striking, I couldn’t stop staring at it. 🌺 Family Lore by Elizabeth Acevedo (Canongate edition) – The floral, warm-toned cover felt so rich and generational. I knew I wanted to be part of whatever story was inside. What’s a book you picked up purely because of the cover? Did it live up to it?

My goal this year is, to write a review because I really enjoy reading them and its kinde nice to give some feedback and feelings about the book. But what do u wanna read in a review? What is important to u. I kinda like reading short reviews with the feelings and thoughts about the books.

Oops. I left the book I was reading just sitting there 😂 The top books to the right are library borrows which is why they don’t match the rest. Some pictures of my shelves! The LoTR ones that are shown in this pic were what made me want to take pics. They showed up today! I got them for $8 each on BookOutlet! This doesn’t include the books down our hallway (we have a long shelf running down that holds a couple long series) and my Stephen King collection.

What is the book you're looking forward to read after your current one?
