Why is it so hard to find clean books? I think it comes down to one BIG reason: You don’t know where to look for clean books. Because there’s actually A LOT of clean books available and in just about every genre. And many of them are good. Like really, really good. Like keep you…
Sweet & Clean Reads Review: Brynn & Sebastian Hate Each Other by Bethany Turner
I have to say, before reading (or listening to) Brynn & Sebastian Hate Each Other, I’ve been firmly in the “enemies to lovers don’t exist in romcoms” camp. I mean, how high could the stakes really be? It’s a romcom! But, Bethany Turner has made me a believer because Brynn & Sebastian really did hate…

Wholesome Books for Boys Ages 8-12
I’m always on the hunt for good quality books for boys. Not just family read aloud books – although I look I look for those often – but books that are specifically geared toward boys. And don’t get me wrong, I know it’s important for girls to have books for them, too. But I’m raising…
About Me
I recently realized that after nearly 2.5 years of maintaining Sweet & Clean Reads I’ve never really done proper introduction post! I guess that kind of tracks since the first six months or so of my Instagram account I didn’t even show my face! But now it’s time to rectify that and introduce you to…
