Since there's a huge buy one book, get one 50% off sale going on right now, I spent a good part of my morning scrolling through new recommendations on TikTok. I'm still stuck within either romance or self-help/businessy genres right now. It's giving personal growth or escaping reality, lol. Right now I'm still narrowing down + deciding what to buy, however these four are definitely in my top picks for February.
In the personal growth/self improvement realm, I've had The Psychology of Money and 12 Rules For Life on my reading list for what feels like years now. I've never purchased them before but with the start of the new year, it seems like a good time to dive in to a little financial literature + some Peterson wisdom.
I've also been on the hunt for some good romance, something that really pulls you in. After reading through tons of comments, two that stuck out were Things We Never Got Over and Credence. Whenever I research books, I tend to look at the overall ratings + reviews, however I try not to read too much about the actual plot. Based on what the comments were saying, I added both of these to my cart immediately without a second thought. I've seen the cover art of Things We Never Got Over before, however I have zero clue on what it's about, the vibe, etc. The top comment that sold me on it was "I'll sell my soul to read it for the first time again." When it comes to reading and books, that might be one of THE best compliments you could give. Even to this day, there are still certain books that I would give anything for to go back and re-experience again for the first time. I live + love that feeling!
Alright, what to say about Credence... ya'll, I'm not sure what to think. The only thing the Tokkers gave on this one was that it was a dark romance. All comments were in favor (I mean rave upon RAVE reviews, ya'll) except for Ms. Shannon who "just couldn't." I didn't really know what to make of all that but if it's hot, we throw it in the bag. Now this is where things may or may not be getting a little dicey... as I was searching the book titles to make this post, I ended up seeing the little blurb for the book. After reading, I'm not really sure what to think now-- is it giving horror film vibes? Do I still buy it???? Lol, jokes aside but the motion sensor alarm on my creep meter might've gone off once or twice. I obviously can't peg which way things are going to go here and I don't really know what to expect with dark romance so my imagination is runnnnnninnnnggg. Obviously I HAVE to know now but I'm a lil' nervous. Ya'll said it was good though so we'll see...
