Reader Recs with Mandi

I am so excited to start off this Reader Rec series with a really cool Bookstagrammer, Mandi! Her content is so cute with Reels, book mood boards, and her big love of My Fault is so relatable, honestly. Without further yapping from me, here is the first segment of Megan’s Bookish Life Podcast on the Bookish Life Blog:

Introduce yourself

Hi! My name is Mandi, and I am a creator to my core! I love reading, writing, and binge watching the latest romance movies. I am also content creator and have run my own Bookstagram for over 4 years now. I’m studying English and Journalism at my university and I hope to pursue a career in entertainment journalism and publishing!

Book (s) that you are currently reading and your thoughts so far

 I am currently reading an ARC given to me by Victoria Lum! I love her writing and storytelling! The book is called When Hearts Awaken and it is book 4 in the Orchid Series. I love a brooding bad boy, and the book touches on some deep themes. Overall, I am really enjoying so far!

Which books are your next reads

There are 2 books that I have seen everywhere, so I finally decided this is the year I read them. The first one is Haunting Adeline (I love dark romance) and the other is Binding 13 (along with the rest of the series). They are both sitting on my shelf and hope to start them soon!

2 books that you recommend

This is REALLY hard, so I’ll give you two series instead of two books! One is the Bad Boys Don’t Die Series by BB Easton. She is the sweetest woman, and this series is probably one of my all-time favorites… like ever! Another would be the Twisted Series by Ana Huang. I read them before they blew up and I am obsessed with that universe! Do you read multiple books at once or one at a time?

I used to be able to read multiple books at once, but now I just can’t! Every time I try, the characters and stories mesh together in my brain! I love focusing and escaping into one amazing story, rather than multiple stories that don’t pull me in! Follow Mandi on her socials: Instagram: @Mandi_Bookshelf TikTok: @Mandi_Lucille
