    I have recently really gotten into reading; something about it this time round, it’s so relaxing and allows my mind to escape to another reality.. into another world 🥰 I really struggle with reading aloud or in my mind, it’s almost like I can’t process words correctly and sometimes it upsets me so I take a break from reading but recently, I just got into audible.. and oh my gosh, it’s a game changer for me; I put on my airpods and listen as I read along and it’s helped so much, I’ve already got about 10 books ready in line for my next read 🤍 sending so much love jess xx

    I also read Take back your family just two weeks ago, i'm so giddy about this! this is my review on goodreads about it: "This is one of the best books I've read about families (and not only) so far, I don't have children, but it's such a great preparation, for someone who doesn't have their own family AND for someone who does. It gives profound insights into living intentionally, the difference between the family oriented around consumption vs the family oriented around contribution. The book is filled with practical habits that can transform family life and the importance of a team as a family, and asking the WHYs, the hard questions no one really asks for their own family, but we all do in our job areas, church, missions, businesses, and so on. How come we've fallen so much in an area that was meant to thrive? "If we don't deal with the why, we will continue to act like zombies living a reality we don't want but aren't even aware of." "This matters because whatever story we believe, we become." "

It has some similarities to Love and Other Words, but I just read Every Summer After in June and it’s my new favorite book of all time! There are a few spicy scenes that you’d have to skip over, but the rest of the book is so good and one I know I’ll read again and again.

    I am currently binging on Twisted games by Ana Huang! Its quite interesting! If you haven't read the Twisted series you should give it a shot! Also i totally love this channel and your book reads + recommendations. I ordered the book Vera Wongs unsolicited advise for murderers after you brought it and was on your TBR! Have you read it yet? Would definitely love a review from your end!

    Hi Jess. I would recommend you reading Kulti by Marianna Zapata. It takes some time to get into it but the banter is amazing and there's only spice at the end of the book😅

    I finished the selection series this month and read none of this is true by Lisa jewel which I LOVED. Going to read a nonfiction called practicing the way!
