A surprise 5 star read! // recent reads wrapup

Hi there friends!
Is it ridiculous that I'm sharing my spring reads in the middle of summer? Yes! Am I gonna do it anyway? Of course! I hope you find a possible favorite among this list.
What books did you read this spring? Any new favorites? Any disappointments?
Take Care,
Gabby

I am a newbie to your channel, and I enjoyed your book review! Have a great week!

[@PeculiarNotions]

I'm glad you had so many five star reads lately.

[@gabbylikestoread]

Thank you! Me too!

[@JanineJourneysInBooks]

So many great reads! Where to start?? Definitely going to try There, There and Anna Maria and the Fox first. I love a long series to get immersed in, so I will explore Wheel of Time as well. Glad you enjoyed April and May reading!

Hi Gabby, I enjoyed watching you share your thoughts on the books you read. I was quiet surprised that you DNF'ed before I let go. I love that you went against popular opinion. hahahahahahahaha. I am intrigued by there, there. I will keep it on my radar.😊

[@gabbylikestoread]

Yea I know people might not come for me but I had to stay true to my taste! Lol there, there was so good! I’m looking forward to reading the sequel before the end of the year!

[@Nanna_reader]

There There sounds really good 😊😊 a great wrap up!

[@gabbylikestoread]

Highly recommend!

[@niqueysim]

I trust you from you said you DNF Before I Let Go. I finished it but it was a struggle and I didn’t love the second book either. I DNF the second book in the series either. 😊

[@ChocolateCoveredPages]

Love this mix of books! I’m looking forward to There there. I have the sequel. Happy to see you loved the beautiful ones because I haven’t seen anyone talk about it.

[@gabbylikestoread]

Thanks girl! The Beautiful Ones really took me by surprise! 😮 so good! I can’t wait to read Wandering Stars; I didn’t know it was a sequel until I peeked at the synopsis!

I am reading Sanditon this month! I have Austen's unfinished one, plus a finished version called Charlotte. Henrietta Lacks has been on my TBR for ages! I really need to read it. And I just read Their Eyes Were Watching God in June and I really enjoyed it also! Loved the gorgeous prose.

[@gabbylikestoread]

Ooo! I’ve never heard of the Charlotte book! I’d be interested in reading it. I hope you enjoy the Henrietta Lacks book as much as I did.

I DNF'd Before I Let Go too. It was too raw for me, and didnt care for the style of writing. I saw Sanditon on Masterpiece too and enjoyed most of it (it got kinda wild for PBS 😂), and want to read the novel. I read Their Eyes Are Watching God last week and it is now my 3rd favorite book of all time. J California Cooper is my favorite author and could tell she was inspired by Zora NH. I finished The Davenports last week too and really enjoyed it. Thanks for recommending Ana Maria and the Fox, it sounds like my speed.

[@gabbylikestoread]

Yea I was kinda disappointed in Before I Let Go but it’s all good. Plenty of other people love it! I can see how Their Eyes Were Watching God is an all time fav! The prose was beautiful! I hope you enjoy Ana Maria and the Fox as much as I did!

[@BonnieNicoleWrites]

I'm reading Before I Let Go right now. I almost DNFd it but I'm still going. I agree with your assessment, although I think they're starting to get to the emotional connection part. I'm curious to see if that aspect continues throughout the last sections. I definitely prefer to have a lot more emotional connection and not just physical in my romance reads.
Eye of the World sounds interesting! Also definitely looking up An Inconvenient Cop. Thanks for the recommendations!

[@gabbylikestoread]

Yea I hope you enjoy Before I Let Go! I hope you get the emotional payoff in the end!
