FAVORITES BY GENRE
Thank you noelleknoxbooks for the inspiration! As someone who reads a little bit of everything, it was challenging to come up with a top overall pick for these genres. Some definitely had stiffer competition than others, and it made me want to seek out more books in genres I don’t typically gravitate towards (romance and fantasy, I’m talking to you).
Do we have any common favorites, or do you have any recs based on my overall taste?

Book overview
In The Time Collector by Yina Menez, the curious girl Elena meets Timo, a magical being who collects special moments in jars on a sunny day. Each jar emits its own light and holds a valuable memory from a first laugh to a colorful celebration. Together with Timo, Elena travels through an old Time Machine to different places and times, where she experiences touching and joyful events.
Along the way, Elena discovers how precious even the smallest things can be: the dancing butterflies in a blooming field, the exuberant laughter of children painting a rainbow, and the silent wonder of a night full of stars. When one of Timo’s most cherished jars suddenly disappears, Elena proves her friendship and courage by helping in the search. Even the “Time Thief” who turns out to be a crow is simply looking for something beautiful to cherish.
The story concludes with an important lesson: the most valuable memories are those we carry forever in our hearts. The Time Collector highlights how small, everyday moments a laugh, a spark of wonder, a warm friendship can make life enchanting and full of magic. Elena becomes a ‘Time Collector’ herself, not by jars, but by filling her heart with the beauty of every moment.

ARC Review – Thank you camcat_books and storygramtours the gifted ARC of The Premonitions Club.
🌟🌟🌟🌟
I was excited to read this book when I found out the author was inspired to write this book after finding out there was a real Premonitions Bureau that existed from the late sixties to the early nineties. I love historical fiction and YA books, so I thought this might be a fun spin on both. This book did not disappoint!
This was a fun, easy read that had some good twists and turns. I think this is a great book for someone who is beginning to read thrillers or enjoys thrillers that aren’t too extreme. It definitely made me curious to learn more about the real Premonitions Bureau. I also enjoyed The Premonitions Club Handbook at the end of the story. It went a little more in depth on the different types of psychic abilities, which I thought was a lot of fun. There is also a small romantic story on the side that is sweet, but a very small portion of the story line and has zero spice.
*Synopsis*
When Liv Hall and her friends find boxes of letters hidden in her grandfather’s attic, they discover hundreds of psychic predictions addressed to the Premonitions Bureau, a bureau to investigate psychic abilities that mysteriously closed in 1993. As the group reads decades-old premonitions, they stumble on letters from powerful psychics who mailed in their predictions and then disappeared.
A post online about the found predictions alerts a black ops group in charge of the military’s paranormal research, who will do anything to get their hand on the letters and the psychics who wrote them. Liv and her friends now know too much, and they’re directly in the crosshairs. To survive, they’re going to have to rely on each other and the unlikely help of psychics who thought they’d left the dangers of the Bureau behind forever.

The Premonitions Club by gwendolyn.womack
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book was a total surprise from the moment it came on my desk to me randomly deciding to pick it up all the way through to the final pages. The story was firmly YA while also surprisingly adult with the government aspect of it. A very different take on the paranormal and I loved how it wasn’t so fantastical and very real-world based.

Today’s mudra card if you want to give it a try 💌✨ #amwriting #meditation #flowstate #writingcommunity #mudra
🌀 The Last Labyrinth by Gwendolyn Womack 🌀 Interesting concept of music as power 🎶
🎧 ALC Review 🎧
The beginning was so intriguing! A centuries old journal mysteriously delivered to a museum with a note to deliver it to a woman (who has no idea of its existence).
I loved the idea of music being magic, and women composers who were overlooked during their own times and throughout history having such an important role. I actually wish we could have learned even more about them and their lives.
The time travel aspect was fun, but again, I feel like once it started the story kind of rushed through it and I would have liked more to have happened before they traveled again.
Overall I really enjoyed the narration, just would have liked more depth to the story so I could have really emotionally connected to the characters. The ending is also more open-ended, but I would have loved to see how everything played out!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Lendo, me pergunto por que não o li antes?
Tudo tem seu tempo. Como um mistério.
Quantas vidas cabem dentro de uma vida?
Quantas memórias?
Nossa geração não teceu a rede da vida, somos um fio deste emaranhado.
Onde realidade e ficção se misturam, e onde se separam?

🔮The Premonitions Club🔮
Gwendolyn Womack
Liv Hall’s life is a mess. Forced to leave her New York home, Liv starts a new school while living in her recently deceased grandfather’s home as her mom crumbles from a fresh divorce. Liv’s life takes another unexpected turn when she and her best friend, Winnie, with the help of the handsome, popular neighbor, find hidden letters in her grandfather’s attic. Addressed to ‘The Premonitions Bureau’ there are hundreds of letters from psychics predicting everything from crimes, natural disasters to major historical events.
But when a simple, fun post makes it online. The friends are thrown into a cat and mouse game with a black ops military group who has been searching for the letters for decades. It quickly becomes apparent that Liv and her friends are a critical part of the hunt for the Premonitions Bureau letters and discovering their pasts matters as much as fighting for their futures.
Mysterious and fast paced, Womack’s newest novel is an absolute delight that will have you buying your very own deck of tarot cards. The Premonitions Bureau is a thrilling ride with the perfect blend of science, the unknown and a little sprinkle of romance.
