5 Books I’ve Loved Lately + 5 On My TBR

It’s been a minute since I have updated you guys on books I have been reading. So many great books constantly released and so many I discover. There are also a TON coming out this year. These are 5 books I’ve loved lately plus a few on my TBR that I hope to get to ASAP! Warning- these are all romance novels other than one memoir so if those aren’t your thing you may not love this list!

5 Books I’ve Loved Lately + 5 On My TBR

5 Books I’ve Loved:

Six Morning Kisses by Diana Elliot Graham: Diana has become a dear friend who I got to meet in Miami in October. She sent me the book a few days before it was released and I could not wait to read it. It’s a sequel to her first book, When We Were which I loved so much! This book was very well written, extremely heartbreaking but so so good!
The Third Gilmore Girl by Kelly Bishop: If you are a Gilmore Girls fan or just a Kelly Bishop fan you will love this! She has had such an interesting life.
Binding 13 by Chloe Walsh: This was all over my TikTok so I gave in. I have not read the other books in the series but this reminded me a LOT of Normal People.
Bridesmaid for Hire by Meghan Quinn: Meghan’s books are always laugh out loud funny, full of spice, and so fun to read. I love any of her books that take place at weddings. SO fun!
The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo: I can’t wait to read the follow up to this book that comes out this year. This was such a special book, so incredibly well written. The characters really capture you.

5 Books On My TBR:

One Golden Summer by Carley Fortune: I actually already started this- thank you Netgalley for the ARC! I have loved Carley’s previous books and heard this one is her best!

All At Once by Katherina B: A book that showed up on my TikTok feed over and over again so I had to download it.

The Love Haters by Katherine Center: Always a fan of Katherine’s books and can’t wait to dive into this one!

Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry: I have an ARC of this and really can’t wait to read it!

It’s A Love Story by Annabel Monaghan: Annabel is such a sweet person and I can’t wait for this book!

  12. Love this list! It’s always great to find new books, and your reviews make it easy to choose what to read next. I like the mix of romance and memoirs as they’re a nice balance of fun and meaningful. ‘The Third Gilmore Girl’ sounds good since I love the show. Thanks for sharing your TBR and adding a few of these to mine!”
