Famesick: A Memoir
Lena Dunham

I’ll be honest… I went into Famesick pretty indifferent to Lena Dunham. Never watched Girls, didn’t have strong feelings either way. But this book kept me completely hooked. She is brutally open about her chronic illness, the cost of fame, and the ways ambition can quietly take over your entire identity and she holds absolutely nothing back.

Did it make me a Lena Dunham convert? Not exactly. But is it a fascinating, uncomfortable, can’t-look-away listen? Absolutely. Four stars and the audio is the only way to go. She narrates it herself and it makes the whole thing hit so much harder.

Have you read this one? Drop your thoughts below.

Two years ago today, I hit post for the first time and immediately wanted to take it back.

I had no idea what I was doing. I just knew I loved books, I had too many feelings about them, and I needed somewhere to put all of that.

So I made … and somehow, you all showed up.

Two years later I’ve read more than I ever have, discovered authors I’m obsessed with, and found an actual community of people who get it. People who understand why you cry over fictional characters and why you stay up until 2am for one more chapter.

That’s you. The flock. And honestly? You’re the whole point. 🐥

I have something special dropping soon to celebrate, so make sure you’re following and come back for it.

Thanks for being here.

Introducing the Bookstore Passport — collecting bookstores one stop at a time.

First stamp: Librería Laberinto, Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷

I always find a bookstore when I travel and this one delivered. An independent bookstore right in the heart of Old San Juan with over 15 years serving the community — the kind of place that reminds you why physical bookstores matter. English and Spanish titles, Puerto Rican authors, classics, poetry, and staff who actually love books. The kind of place you walk into for ten minutes and leave an hour later with your arms full. You know the feeling.

This visit sparked something — stay tuned for what happened next.

This month’s roundup of celebrity book club picks is a diverse mix and several have piqued my interest.

Go Gentle by Maria Semple — Oprah’s Book Club pick and I am SO ready for more Maria Semple in my life

Dolly All the Time by Annabel Monaghan — GMA Book Club, and I can personally vouch for this one — I got an ARC and it was a 5 star read for me. Do not sleep on this one.

The Children by Melissa Albert — Read With Jenna and everything about this cover and premise has me intrigued

A Pair of Aces by Marie Benedict & Victoria Christopher Murray — Reese’s pick and the duo that brought us The Personal Librarian is back… already on my list

Having Spent Life Seeking by Kae Tempest — Service95 and this one feels like the wild card of the month

Which of these is making it onto your TBR? And which celebrity book club do you trust most? Drop it 👇

May reading recap!

Six books. 1,040 pages. Half digital, half audio — apparently my brain needed options this month.

The highlights: Open Book genuinely surprised me (4 stars, Jessica Simpson, do not sleep on this one) and Mad Mabel was such a fun ride. Hip Hop Is History was both an education and a trip down memory lane- audio is narrated by

The lows: The Shippers just didn’t land for me the way I wanted it to — Katherine Center is usually an auto-read but this one felt a little flat. 3 stars and that hurts my heart.

And shoutout to my library card and .app for saving me $58.99 this month… a shockingly light month.

What did you read in May? Drop your best read below! On to June- bring on summer reading!!!

Angel Down — Daniel Kraus (Atria Books)
2026 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction

Earlier this month Pulitzer Prize for Fiction was awarded to a horror novel. A supernatural horror novel. About WWI soldiers who find a fallen angel in No Man’s Land. Written as one single, unbroken sentence.

Angel Down by Daniel Kraus just made history, and honestly? Horror readers have been waiting for this moment for a long time. The last time the Pulitzer even flirted with this territory was Cormac McCarthy’s The Road in 2007 — and that one still gets debated as to whether it “counts.”

This one? No debate. It’s horror. It won.

Will this one make it to your TBR? It’s not my usual pick but I’m intrigued.

Quick Chick Review: Dolly All the Time by Annabel Monaghan

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Okay I need to talk about this book because I have been a ride-or-die Annabel Monaghan fan for a while now and I genuinely did not think anything was going to touch Nora Goes Off Script for me. That book set the bar. That book is the bar.

And then Dolly All the Time showed up and just… cleared it.

This one is swoony in the best possible way. Feet kicky, grinning-at-your-phone, reading one more chapter at midnight swoony. Dolly Brick is a hardworking single mom who comes back to her Rhode Island hometown to help her family after a fire, meets a wealthy guy who needs a fake girlfriend for PR reasons, and look, we know where this is going. But Monaghan makes you feel every single step of the journey like it’s the first time you’ve ever read a fake dating story.

What sets her apart is the heart underneath the humor. This isn’t just a swoony romance… it’s about vulnerability, family, and a woman remembering who she is outside of everything she’s responsible for. Dolly is so easy to root for.

This book comes out today… add it to the top of your summer reading.

Are you a fake dating trope girlie? Because this one is about to be your new favorite.

Quick Chick Review: The Astral Library by Kate Quinn

This one is for every reader who ever cracked open a book just to breathe again.

Alix grew up in the foster care system with one firm belief: unlike people, books will never let you down. So when she stumbles through a hidden door in the Boston Public Library and discovers a place where you can literally live inside your favorite stories — Regency drawing rooms, Baker Street back alleys, Gatsby’s champagne-soaked parties — honestly, same, Alix. Same.

It’s giving warm hug book, and around here, that is high praise.

That said, Alix has her moments. She straight-up refuses to let the Librarian explain the rules early on, and… those rules matter. It comes back to bite her in ways that felt very “you had this information available to you, babe.” She’s lovable but a little frustrating, which honestly just made her feel real.

The epilogue gave me everything I needed and I closed this one happy. If you love books about books, stories that feel like a hug, and a little magic laced through it all — this one’s for you.
Have you ever wished you could actually live inside a book? Which one would you pick? Drop it below
