I narrowly missed out on getting an ARC of Powerless by Lauren Roberts at New York Comic Con 2023. I knew nothing of the book, but could just tell from the cover that it was going to make a splash, and that it did. It is now officially the Barnes and Noble YA book ofContinue reading “Book Review: “Powerless” by Lauren Roberts”

Amy Lea’s Influencer Series Continues with “Exes and O’s”
Amy Lea’s ‘The Influencers’ series now officially has a part two, and it might leave some of you fellow romance bookstagrammers feeling a smidge bit attacked. Lol. The first book, Set on You [Buy Bookshop Amazon] (my review here) introduced us to curvy fitness influencer Crystal. This time, we’re following her sister, Tara the bookstagrammer,Continue reading “Amy Lea’s Influencer Series Continues with “Exes and O’s””
Colleen Hoover’s Big Hit, “Verity”
Ok, ok, ok… I’m gonna jump on the Colleen Hoover train for a hot second. Verity has been one of the ‘it’ books for a while now, thanks to BookTok. I’m generally reluctant to go along with the buzzy things unless I get there before it’s a big deal, so it’s no surprise I tookContinue reading “Colleen Hoover’s Big Hit, “Verity””
Ali Hazelwood Has “Love On The Brain”
If you haven’t heard of or read The Love Hypothesis at this point, how big is the rock you live under? Because that book is daggum everywhere and I’m here for it it. It’s a good one. While I was pretty meh about Ali Hazelwood‘s STEMinist Novellas over the last few months, I still heldContinue reading “Ali Hazelwood Has “Love On The Brain””
Alex Aster’s “Lightlark” (And All The Drama)
If you aren’t on TikTok, you might have missed all the drama about a book that releases soon. Alex Aster put her book idea on TikTok and the buzz led to a six-figure publishing deal and Universal bought the rights to Lightlark before it ever hit store shelves. It had really high ratings on Goodreads,Continue reading “Alex Aster’s “Lightlark” (And All The Drama)”
Mazey Edding’s “A Brush With Love”
Full disclosure: when I first saw the cover of A Brush With Love on Edelweiss, I thought it was about painting. (Don’t judge me. It was a tiny picture that looked like paint and paintbrushes are a thing. It works, okayyy.) So, when my bookstagram buddy read group mentioned “Dental Dan”, I was very confusedContinue reading “Mazey Edding’s “A Brush With Love””
Tessa Bailey Catches Us “Hook, Line, & Sinker”
A little over two years ago, I picked up a Tessa Bailey ARC, and now here I am, a romance reader and big fan of Bailey’s. Hook, Line, and Sinker is the sixth book of hers I’ve read and it’s one of my favorites. Just order a copy now and do yourself a favor. Hook,Continue reading “Tessa Bailey Catches Us “Hook, Line, & Sinker””
“These Violent Delights” By Chloe Gong
Retellings of the classics are everywhere right now. Some are done better than others, and Chloe Gong’s These Violent Delights is definitely on the list of more imaginative takes. I mean, it’s Romeo and Juliette… but in 1920’s Shanghai… with gang feuds… and monsters. It sounds like a mess, but I think it works, eventually.Continue reading ““These Violent Delights” By Chloe Gong”
Codi Hall Plays “Nick and Noel’s Christmas Playlist”
Yes, Christmas is over, but it’s still winter, so suck it. Nick and Noel’s Christmas Playlist by Codi Hall might have Christmas in the title, but I don’t feel like it’s solely a holiday book. There are events around the Christmas season, but aside from the ridiculously cheesy names tied to December 25th (Merry, Holly,Continue reading “Codi Hall Plays “Nick and Noel’s Christmas Playlist””
“All I Want” From Darcey Bell
Remember that book/ movie starring Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively, A Simple Favor? Well, the author Darcey Bell is back with a new novel and I think I need to process this one a bit more… because WTF did I just read. All I Want follows Emma and her husband Ben as they buy aContinue reading ““All I Want” From Darcey Bell”
