Book #7 of 2022: The Revival of Opal and Nev by D

Book #7 of 2022: The Revival of Opal and Nev by Dawnie Wilson
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 You know, I didn’t love this one as much as I had hoped! I find with audiobooks I will disengage more than if I had the book in front of me, so it might be as simple as that. What was cool is that because the book is written in different perspectives, they had a full cast, INCLUDING our Lord and Savior André De Shields. Though the story is a faux music history, the Afro-Punk artistry, racism, and civil rights action is very true and powerful. I may add this to my list again to physically read. #bookreview #audiobook #revivalofopalandnev #bookish #book #reading #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #read #weneeddiversebooks #weneeddiverseauthors

Book #5 of 2022: Fat Chance, Charlie Vega by Crys

Book #5 of 2022: Fat Chance, Charlie Vega by Crystal Maldonado
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5⭐️s from Thriller Dog! He’s so emotionally distraught over this lovely book. I am going to do a full review of this one + recipe. My quick blurb though for future readers is you will fall head over heels for Charlie’s story. Charlie’s voice and point of view are clear, hilarious, and strong. She faces a LOT of adversity, from being body shamed by her classmates and Mother, fighting her own anxiety, and to finding happiness and acceptance among her family after her fathers death. Maldonado captures adolescence (dare I say) PERFECTLY. I was totally brought back to high school (for better or for worse HAHA). Most importantly, Charlie Vega learns the importance of loving herself in body, mind and spirit. BODY POSITIVITY, YO. Fans of YOU SHOULD SEE ME IN A CROWN, this will be your next fave. #bookreview #bookish #book #reading #readersofinstagram #fatchancecharlievega #bodypositivity #dog #peekapoos #dogsofinstagram #bibliophile

Book #4 of 2022 (and the first book read back at home!) One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 WOW. I’m saying it…I liked it better than Red, White, and Royal Blue. This book had such powerful beginnings, middles, and ends. It started out slow, and then I was CAPTIVATED. You may think this is just your regular LQBTQIA+ romance novel, and you would be mistaken. There’s a hint of magic and science fiction that really hooked me in. It’s also a massive celebration of gender, sexuality, and identity. Team August and Jane 4eva. #onelaststop #caseymcquiston #bookish #bookreview #reading #read #lgbtq🌈 #books #readersofinstagram #IGreads #vegan #bibliophile #romance #queerbooks

Book #3 of 2022 (and my last beach read before home!) In a Book Club Far Away by Tif Marcelo
⭐️⭐️.5 Ughhhh, as much as I don’t like giving bad reviews, I will be honest! I did not like this one! I preferred Tif Marcelo’s YA, The Holiday Switch. The characters felt underdeveloped, it was hard to stay engaged, and I couldn’t always tell what story was being told. What I did love was reading from the perspective of Army spouses. That’s a reality I don’t know anything about, and I really appreciated having a lens into that world as the author is a military spouse and that’s so cool she got to share her world and community. It reads super fast and Tif always paints a picture of Filipino cuisine in her writing, which I love. Soooo, read at your own leisure. #bookreview #book #books #bookish #reading #2022readingchallenge #armywife #armyspouse #honestbookreview #readersofinstagram #vegan

Book #2 of 2022: The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah

Book #2 of 2022: The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Oh, Kristin Hannah. YOU’VE DONE IT AGAIN. No wonder this was voted book of the year for Book of The Month. The Four Winds is a beautiful and passionate page turner. Though it takes place during the Depression, it’s message is a call to action that we all need to be reminded of, especially as we begin the new year. One of my 2022 resolutions is to be BOLD and BRAVE so imagine my surprise when those were strong themes in the book!! I felt so connected to Elsa and her family. This is 454 pages and worth every page, no matter the length. Don’t be scared! #book #bookish #vegan #plantbased #kristinhannah #bookofthemonth #read #reading #bookreview #readingchallenge #thefourwinds #bebold #bebrave #bookish #readersofinstagram #bibliophile

First Book of 2022 ✅ CRIME LOVERS – READ THIS B

First Book of 2022 ✅ CRIME LOVERS - READ THIS BOOK. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 This is an outstanding debut from Stacy Willingham. When I started this book this weekend I was literally being a brat and marching around saying how predictable I thought it was. I am here to say I WAS WRONG. The story is chilling, full of plot twists, and gives me strong Ruth Ware vibes. I’m so looking forward to her next book. Add it to the TBR! #book #reading #bookish #readersofinstagram #booklover #truecrime #thriller #mystery #bookofthemonth #booksofinstagram #instabook #vacationread #beachread #vegan #plantbased #readingtime
