Yesterday I realized that the worse part of the day without this person is the night, but reading can help to get my mind off a bit from everything. My breakup happened cause my now ed boyfriend had (has) a gambling addiction and I had to set boundaries, cause he got himself into trouble with a debt and hid it from me. It’s been hard cause it’s not that I don’t have feelings still anymore, and it’s been really hard to let go of what ifs or guilt.

I think reading and feeling understood and heard while I do could help, so maybe if anyone knows some books that tackle maybe that sort of grieving a person who’s still there but you shouldn’t be with, grieve of a future that can never be, maybe an exploration of the family or loved ones of someone with this kind of issue, maybe even something about savior complex, cause I’m probably falling into this category without much thought.

I’m looking for fiction but, if someone knows even non-fiction books that can help me during this time, I would greatly appreciate it and thank you if you red till here.

Hi, I am looking for fictional book recs that have a similar vibe to the t.v program the bear but with nicer characters. Anything that is about the passion of a chef with interesting food details and recipes. Please and thank you.

I’m looking for fiction and non-fiction books that center on fashion and would love any recommendations!

Got a book club friend who’s going on vacation soon and wants something along that vibe.

I just finished Night Road by Kristin Hannah and am looking for my next book. Before this I read The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah and both books have left me in a slump. They were absolutely brilliant and I loved them but it took me MONTHS to pick up another book after the nightingale. I finished night road this morning and I don’t want to be in a reading slump for another few months 😭 help.

Here are just a few titles I have previously read and really enjoyed (genres kind of all over the place)

- throne of glass
- fourth wing
-The nightingale
-night road
-the deal
-things we never got over
-king of wrath
