Hi all, just found this sub and I can’t believe I hadn’t sooner. I’m going on vacation for a week next month and really want to take the opportunity to read on the beach as I don’t have much time to when i’m working. Last year on vacation I read and LOVED “Daisy Jones and The Six”, have also since read
“The 7 Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” (altered my brain chemistry)
“A Court of Thorns and Roses” (liked it but don’t feel the fire to start the next book yet and want to read something different for vacay)
and a couple of celeb memoirs-
Dave Grohl (loved),
Jenette McCurdy (also loved but tough read).
I hate corny y/a romances, pls no books with those pastel cartoon style covers (you know the ones). I can handle a romance, but not when it’s the entirety of the story (good example, “The Summer I Turned Pretty” series, would be a corny y/a romance but has a lot of other stuff going on in the main plot that makes it worth reading) . Not big into mysteries but not necessarily against them either. I like stories that wrap me up / page turners but not something too dark or deep that I wouldn’t wanna read it on vacation. It’s hard to think of my favorite book for reference but I’ll say “I’ll Give You The Sun” by Jandy Nelson is *one* of my all time favs.
I have a bad habit of just reading whatever book is popular on tik tok at the time and I kind of hate that for me. Let me know what I should read!!
