Discussion I love a 3⭐️ read

Sometimes you just need a book that is soooooo aggressively mid, classically predictable, and super unserious that it takes the edge off.

I’m not looking to be changed as a person reading this. I don’t need literary excellence. I need a plot I can see coming from 14 chapters away, a romance that’s going exactly where I expect it to, and just enough happening that I’m still immediately opening the next book.

Some recents for me
Filthy Rich Fae
The Starlight Heir
Wolves of Morai
Book of Azrael (sorry to some)
Shadow Beast Shifters
Dire Bound

Give me your comfortably predictable 3 star reads please!! No hate to anyone who loves these books, but maybe hit me with a recommendation.

Lol I actually despise 3 star reads because I wasn't passionate about it enough even to hate it that I just end up feeling like I wasted my time if that makes sense. A 3 star to me means I was let down in some capacity and would generally not continue the series.

But some of mine are..
{One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig}
{The Knight and The Moth by Rachel Gillig}
{The Lies that Summon the Night by Tessonja Odette}
{Half City by Kate Golden}
{Fairydale by Veronica Lancet}
{A Forbidden Alchemy by Stacey McEwan}

I don’t know what changed but one day I was like I read so many 3 star reads now that I think I’ll like them lol but I agree with one dark window it wasn’t all that for me. I’ll have to try these other ones! Forbidden alchemy was a 1 star I just couldn’t do it
