What to Read: MacKenzie’s Spring Recommendations

 Hey everybody! Sorry for the hiatus! I was super busy the last few months finishing up wedding plans—and also getting married! But, I’m back and ready chat about all the amazing books I’ve been reading.

I want to start with a sweet and steamy read by Brittainy Cherry—Eleanor and Grey! This book blew me out of the water. Brittainy’s books are always so masterfully put together, and it’s crystal clear to every reader that she poured her heart into every word. Eleanor and Grey are an unlikely duo that meet in high school and whose relationship evolves into something beautiful and greater than words. Life isn't kind to them, though, and after many years they find themselves together again, but under much different circumstances. If you want to read about two soulmates who learn to overcome their grief together, this is the book for you!

Work in Progress by Staci Hart is one of my favs of the year thus far! The RLC (Red Lipstick Coalition) girls all have their own books that can be read independently but live in the same book world! Sweet, shy Amelia agrees to help out a well-known author—Thomas Bane—by, wait for it, marrying him. She just has to stop herself from falling in love with him for real. All the RLC books would be perfect spring reads, and I suggest you binge them all from start to finish before the final installment—Well Suited—comes out on May 2^nd!

If you are a parent, you absolutely MUST read Be the Girl by K.A. Tucker. If you are a teacher, a friend, a family member of someone with autism—you MUST read this book. This is one of the most important books of the year. It should be taught in high school English classes everywhere. The story is beautiful, and tragic, and everyone should read this book. End of story.

I just recently finished A Lesson in Thorns, and it may be the best written erotic fictions I’ve ever read. There are so many ways to categorize this book, but to do so would take away from its mystery. If you like romance—and erotic romance at that—you need to check this one out. It’s strange in a beautiful and fantastic way. The children of Thornchapel are back together as adults, and you absolutely need to know what happens when they’re all under the same roof once again.

For something light and quick, and something to get you ready for those hot summer months—you won't be disappointed with Kandi Steiner’s Palm South University series! They’re all five star reads for me, and you’ll tear through the pages wanting to know what happens next!

Most anticipated:

I just got my hands on Defy Me by Tahereh Mafi and I can't wait to dive into that one! Jumping back into this series is like coming back to an old friend each and every time.

I JUST found out that I received an arc of Say You Still Love Me by K.A. Tucker and I cannot keep my cool about it. This title will be releasing in August and you’re going to want to add this to your TBR and preorder this bad boy right. now.
