Hang the Moon

As always, when life gets hectic, I turn to romances for a little quick and easy reading escape. I enjoyed the first in this series, Written in the Stars, when I read it a while ago. Although it wasn't a new fav, I was super into the astrology aspects and I also remember how well Bellefleur wrote…

How to Fail at Flirting

This was a vacation romance read book choice (the final one I ended up getting to on this particular trip). It has been on my TBR list for awhile and this seemed like the perfect chance to finally pick it up. Also, the colors on the cover feel very tropical, to me, so the vibe…

Winter’s Orbit

Anything advertised as romance in space is likely to get an immediate add onto my "TBR" list. And this spectacular mix of my two favorite escapist genres was the perfect addition to my "vacay reads" packing stack. So, one binge-read experience later (because once I picked this one up, I absolutely was not able to put it back…

Love & Other Disasters

So apparently cooking/baking shows are a new trend in romance settings (ok, maybe this one and Rosalie Palmer Takes the Cake are just two books, not the start of a new wave of reality food tv romances, but still...) and I'm not not here for it. While I don't really watch a lot of reality food tv IRL, I do…

The Queer Principles of Kitt Webb

What we have here is one more prime example of "Paige has abandoned the perilously high stack of books on her TBR pile next to the bed at home in favor of a spur of the moment library book" reading choice. And after basically speeding through this in one day, I can tell you that…

Open Water

This short novel's release felt like it went a bit under the radar, from what I could tell. I saw a few pub day reviews, but overall (to be horribly punny) it seemed to not have made too much of a splash. But right after reading that it had been shortlisted for the Costa Book Award…

The Charm Offensive

I might be one of the only people who hasn't/doesn't watch the Bachelor/Bachelorette series. Maybe that's an exaggeration, but it definitely feels like that sometimes. So I wasn't originally all that interested in this particular romance, set within the filming/production world of a reality dating show. But then I saw review after review talking about how…

A Lot Like Adios

I read You Had Me at Hola right at the end of 2020 and loved it. So the second my library got this next book in the Primas of Power series, I was all over. While it took awhile to get on the shelves, which was a tough wait to live through, the timing ended up being…

Heartstopper: Volumes Two & Three

The library came through! Cause I wasn’t lying when I said that after reading the first Heartstopper a few weeks ago that I was not ready for the unexpected romantic cliffhanger and needed more immediately. Thankfully, I may not have been alone in my needs/requests, because the second and third volumes just got added to…

Payback’s a Witch

I love witches. And this title was eye-rolling-ly catchy. And the cover art is actually legit right on point for my preferred witchy aesthetic. And I actually won a copy from a Goodreads giveaway (can you believe it?! - that like, never happens). And I was going on vacation to Hawaii and honestly I can't think of any…
