This is a romance that was on my TBR for quite a while before its pub date – I was the first on hold for it at the library after it was purchased. Honestly, there was very little about this fake-dating setup, f/f relationship, astrology-themed story with a swoon-worthy cover design that didn’t call out… Continue reading Written in the Stars

You Had Me at Hola
Ok but just look at that cover!!!! That alone would have gotten me to glance twice at this book. But I also had this one at the top of my "contemporary romance TBR backburner" list, that I have constantly in mind, since I need to be ready when the mood hits! Which, it seems, is… Continue reading You Had Me at Hola
Delicious!
The August (I know, I know, but I somehow overlooked it, so it's getting a very last review post) book theme for my long-distance book club was food. I have no idea where we came up with that, but it was a fun theme that prompted a lot of super awesome book suggestions! Plus, convenient,… Continue reading Delicious!
Spoiler Alert
I was in a romance mood. You all know I get that way periodically and it’s been awhile since my last one. Plus, the Holiday Season kinda gets me like that. I came across this one while I was checking it in at the library, remembered that @diaryofaclosetreader said it was super sweet and fun… Continue reading Spoiler Alert
Cemetery Boys
This is one of those books that I knew I was going to read as soon as I heard about it. It seemed so original and right up my alley, interest-wise, and also that cover is really gorgeous. Plus, it was just about the most perfect book to cuddle up with on a cold Autumn… Continue reading Cemetery Boys
Memorial
I’ve heard so many good things about Washington’s first publication, Lot, a short story collection. I have been meaning to read it for a while, but short stories are not always my thing and I just haven’t been in the mood/headspace for that. When I saw this new book come through the library to be… Continue reading Memorial
Emma
Although I was one of those awesome nerds in high school that loved Jane Austen and truly read all the books by her we were assigned, I am not sure that I have actually picked up an original from her since then. I have both read and watched many adaptations and retellings (some repeatedly…2005 Pride… Continue reading Emma
Something to Talk About
I was looking for a lighter, fun contemporary romance type thing. I feel like I have been reading less/slower over the last few weeks, work has been so busy (like, SO busy) and it's getting colder (which never is great for my mental state) and just really, I needed a literary pick-me-up. This f/f romance… Continue reading Something to Talk About
The Voting Booth
I’ve had Colbert’s novel Little and Lion on my TBR for years because I’ve heard only great things about it. I still haven’t managed to get to it yet, but when I saw this one as an option as an ALC from Libro.fm, I still knew I was going to pick it to read ASAP.… Continue reading The Voting Booth
The Stars and the Blackness Between Them
The title of this book put it solidly on my radar as soon as I heard about it (I mean, it’s a fantastic freaking title…so much imagery just from that single phrase!). And once I read the description, the deal was sealed. I had hoped to get to it during #ReadCaribbean (as hosted by @bookofciz… Continue reading The Stars and the Blackness Between Them
