Booktok and Bookstagram have really stepped it up in the last year. The number of books going viral these days seems to be off the charts. We mean, come on, how do people actually read that many books?! If you want to get caught up on some of the best viral books, here are the ones that are truly worth the hype.

It Ends With Us By Colleen Hoover

We simply can’t write an article about viral books and not discuss It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover. This book is both a romance and an important story to Hoover and women everywhere, but you’ll have to read it to find out why!

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo By Taylor Jenkins Reid

With a unique storyline and frame through which the novel is written, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid is a must-read. It’s a historical fiction novel that spills the truth of one of Hollywood’s beloved icons.

Verity By Colleen Hoover

Another Colleen Hoover fan favorite is the one and only Verity. This romantic thriller has so many plot twists you truly won’t be able to predict what’s coming next! This book simply won’t leave your hands until you’ve read it cover to cover.

With the start of a new year comes new reading goals. Reading more is a great goal to have, but how can you make sure you actually follow through with it? The answer is simple. You must integrate it into your routine.

We all know the “I’ll read in my spare time” story too well, and it doesn’t typically end well. This method of reaching a goal doesn’t work because we often find other ways to fill our spare time such a scrolling on social media or watching Netflix. While we’re not saying you can’t do that if you want to reach your reading goals, we are saying there’s a better way.

Make reading a part of your everyday routine. If you have time in the morning, say you’ll read for at least 15 minutes before you start your day. Another great time to schedule your reading is before bed. There’s nothing better than curling into a comfy bed with a good book, so why not make it a habit and do it every night?

The key to reading more books is to make progress everyday. Whether it’s 15 minutes or an hour, you can read more books if you try. You just need the right structure in place to help you do that!

If you have a lot of book lovers in your life, you probably never struggle to find a present for them. Books are one of the most popular items to gift to people, but you should be careful when making your choice and abide by these three rules.

Check Out Their Bookshelves

If you have a habit of buying books as a present, pay closer attention to your friends’ bookshelves when you visit their homes. By doing so, you’ll never make the mistake of buying them double copies and you’ll get a better idea about their taste in books.

Personal Taste

Even if you like a certain book or everyone else is talking about it, it doesn’t necessarily mean the person you’ll buy it for will feel the same way. Try to buy books that align with their personal taste by talking to them about books and figuring out which genres and authors they like the most.

Ask Away

If you’re struggling to pick the right book for your friend, asking them to tell you what’s on their read list doesn’t hurt. This is especially a great idea with friends who aren’t huge on surprises but remember that you can always keep the receipt if you’re not sure you made the right choice.

We love reading year-round, but there’s nothing quite like lounging on a chaise and spending an afternoon by the pool with a nice drink and an even better book. You can’t go wrong with the classics (books or drinks) but if you’re looking for something different, there are plenty of great new summer reads out now to help you make a sweet escape, even if it’s just in your mind. Grab your sunhat, a pina colada, and any of these books to create your own little paradise. 

Every Summer After by Carley Fortune

One of the best new romantic fiction books of the year, NYT bestseller Every Summer After tells the story of Persephone “Percy” and Sam, two friends whose relationship fell apart almost as quickly as it started. 

The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley

If you’re like us, you love a good mystery novel, and The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley does not disappoint. It’s another NYT bestseller and it’s full of suspense and surprise. You won’t be able to put this one down.

I’m Sorry You Feel That Way by Rebecca Wait

Anyone who’s ever struggled with complicated family dynamics is sure to relate to this hilariously dark novel filled with humor and heartbreak. Reviews have called this one “touching,” “rich,” and “razor-sharp.”
