The Pocket Beyoncé is exactly what it sounds like—a tiny dose of Queen Bey wisdom you can carry around in your bag or keep on your desk for when you need a boost. It’s packed with quotes, affirmations, and little reminders that channel Beyoncé’s confidence, work ethic, and don’t-mess-with-me attitude.

It’s not particularly deep or groundbreaking, but that’s not really the point. It’s more like a mood-lifter—a shot of empowerment when you’re feeling stuck or second-guessing yourself. The design is cute, the tone is playful, and it nails that balance of sass and strength that makes Beyoncé such an icon.

I docked one star simply because a few of the quotes felt a little too surface-level or overused, and I wished there were a couple more personal stories or lesser-known insights. But overall, it’s a great little book for fans or anyone who needs a reminder to stand tall and own the room.

Perfect for gifting or keeping by your side on those “what would Beyoncé do?” days.

i love strong independent women. i just do. this book is not too long but not too short and i think it has all the important and interesting information. the pics are really cute and i love the quotes!!

i wish there was more personal information about beyoncé herself because i feel like anyone who listens to pop or just lives on this planet and has social media knows most of the stuff in this book. it would be nice to learn more about beyoncé as a child and how her childhood was, maybe more about the beggining of her career and destiny’s child. also stories behind her songs would be nice.

it was a nice short book with the basic facts about beyoncé. it’s a definitely nice for beyoncé fans, but i feel like they probably already know all this. i wish there would be more personal informations about beyoncé, maybe about her relationship with jay-z. it’s definitely a good book if you set a way high goodreads reading challenge and need short fun books.

⤷ thank you for this arc to gemini books group and netgalley in exchange for my honest review!!

This is a summary of Beyoncé life and music career. All that’s stated is not hard to find on the internet but it’s great to have in a book where you can just open and read.

This is great for the Beyhive fans. It’s like a collectible.

Thank you, Gemini Books Group and NetGalley, for this arc; all thoughts are my own.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

The Pocket Beyoncé is the second book in the pocket series by Gemini that I've read and although each of the books gives much information a fan would know or could look up on the internet/Wikipedia, this is a cute little collectable book to have. This is perfect for any fan and a great refresher of all things, Bey. These would be fun, quirky books to have on a coffee table or small side table in the home, too.

I've been following Beyonce for a long time but I still feel like there were a few things here I didn't know before. This is a story of the life and success of Beyonce so far, and I'm sure it could have a new edition in the future with a lot more added, because Beyonce isn't slowing down. Beyonce is a performer, and her beauty and talent have been obvious since she was a little girl. It will be interesting to see what she decides to do next.
This is easy to read and organized so there's a lot of information but it doesn't feel overwhelming.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for this complementary ARC in exchange for my honest review!

This is a very quick high-level summary of Beyoncé's career. Any fan of Beyoncé would know all of the facts in this book but it could be useful for someone who is less familiar. These pocket books could use a little more meat rather than just giving a pretty summary of her Wikipedia page.

The book was beautifully written. Overall, the book was well written and I did really enjoy it. Thank you for this advance reading copy!

I loved learning about Beyonce! I may not be a member of the Beyhive, but I still enjoyed learning about it. I think this is such a unique concept, with the books fitting in your pocket. Screw Google, pull out your Pocket Beyonce when you have a question about her life! I do wish, however, that the facts were categorized sequentially.
