Welcome here everyone!💜 I'm sharing about all the books I read in May 2026.
After reading an Echo in the Darkness for the Francine Rivers book club, I hit a major reading slump. Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen got me out of it. Wild that a classic moved my heart like that. Keep reading for all the books, videos, and links to things! Thanks for being here!

💐ABOUT ME:
I’ve been creating bookish content for ten years, reviewing, and recommending Christian fiction, no spice romance, and young adult books across all genres. I read mostly from the library and I focus on faith-based romance books, no spice, and entertaining stories. My channel is all about helping parents, teens, and romance readers discover great books that are fun, well-written, and honour God.
If you’re looking for Christian romance books, clean book recommendations, or young adult fiction that is age-appropriate, you’re in the right place. I’ll always mention any content warnings, including language or romance details, so you can trust my reviews to be honest and thoughtful.
Check out my playlists for all my Christian romance recommendations, clean reads, wrap-ups, and favorite authors.
