Hello wonderful friends!

This month’s Young Adult book club pick is Needy Little Things by Channelle Desamours. This is her debut novel and in it we follow Sariyah, a teenager who can see the future or hear what people need. And she gives it to them before they can ask. But, when she fulfills what her friend needs, a short while later the friend disappears. Now she’s trying to figure out what happened to her friend, especially given that this isn’t the first time something like this has occurred.

It seems like it’ll be a mix of a quest, a fantasy, a little dystopian, plus 100% thrilling. With a 4.08 rating on Goodreads, I’m excited to dive in! I will say though, I am a bit cautious, because it sounds similar to Cinderella is Dead by Kaylynn Bayron and that was a 3-star read for me.

Crossing my fingers that this will be better!

Hello wonderful friends!

This month’s adult book club pick is The Air He Breathes by Brittainy Cherry.

I’m excited to read from this author for the first time. I’ve heard a lot about her work, especially from Black booktubers. It’s always regarded as emotional and heart-wrenching, which is exactly what I’m in the mood for this month.

The Air He Breathes is book 1 in the Elements series. In this story, we follow Elizabeth and her (unfortunate? I think, from the blurb on the back) attraction to Tristan. It seems like it’s either a forbidden romance or perhaps a friends-with-benefits turned lovers. I’m unsure. But what I am sure of is that it has a 4.13 rating on Goodreads, so my hopes are high.
