A fun read for all the cat lovers! You don’t even have to be a cat lover really, just curious how these furry little gremlins wiggled their way into our homes. A few points off for a dragging a bit in the middle, but otherwise an enjoyably informative read A- #books #booksky #nonfiction #reading

I love Jasmine but this didn’t really hit for me. Cute setting at a winery in Napa, but their relationship arc wore on me a little. Most certainly the spiciest of her books! C+ #books #booksky #romancebooks #romancelandia

Alright #romancelandia what did we think of the new EmHen? I liked it, but was a little more invested in the Ives story than the actual romance. Certainly a departure from her normal tho. Would love to hear your opinions! #books #booksky #reading #romancebooks

This one was cute! Muslim retelling of Pride and Prejudice. Dragged in some parts, but a proper retelling while also remaining its own thing. B+ #books #reading #booksky #romance #romancelandia

An interesting read! Recommend if you’re curious about how the language of cults has permeated our everyday life. This book made me more sympathetic towards cult survivors, and made me delete the phrase “drink the kool aid” from my vocabulary. B+ #books #booksky #reading #nonfiction

A fun read that I think will also be a fun series! A quirky cast of likeably imperfect characters learning how to take the sh*t life throws at them. And I’ve never read a book set in Fullerton before! (My alma mater) B+ #books #booksky #fiction

This was not the greatest book I’ve ever read, nor the worst. Had a fun cast of characters, and always appreciate people winning against bigots in these trying times. There’s some bait and switch here so if that’s not your thing then maybe skip this one C+ #books #booksky #reading #fiction

I listened to this on audiobook and really enjoyed it! Paul does a great job narrating, and I think that made it more enjoyable than just reading. A fun book that’ll make you laugh, but maybe check the TWs cuz the title is only kind of a joke B+ #books #booksky #memoir #nonfiction

Admittedly Linda Holmes can do no wrong imo; this book was no exception. A podcaster agrees to go on 20 first dates for a show. Delightful rom-com antics ensue. Characters were imperfect and human and lovely and I was rooting for them the whole time A+ #romancebooks #romancelandia #books #BookSky

A few points off for a super corny ending, but always love spending time with the O’Haras. A few good one liners about love and grief, paired with Rowley’s signature humor. Made me long for sitting lakeside in Italy with a spritz in hand. Guncle forever A- #books #booksky #fiction

I love Normal Gossip but this was kinda meh for me. It was well researched, but I sometimes had a hard time following her train of thought. Could also be a classic case of expectations were too high C+ #books #booksky #nonfiction

With his little #oscar 😭 So sweet, I loved this movie

I just love Conan so much. His silliness and self-depreciation, yet clear love for the art form, is just perfect #oscars

I think this is my fav in the series!We love the fantasy of a caring politician, especially in these trying times. Loved their chemistry, the trial of going public, the heartbreaking separation. Guillory showing why she’s the queen yet again A- #romancebooks #romancelandia #books #BookSky

Making my way through my Jasmine Guillory back log. The MCs pretending to hate each other was a little annoying, but Guillory came through with the feels at the end, as per usual. B+ #booksky #books #romancebooks #romancelandia

This book had potential but it missed the mark for me. It was a lot of telling what happened, so it kinda took me out of the rom-com moments. I feel like there’s potential there and this was her debut, so I would read another book by her tho C+ #romancebooks #romancelandia #books #BookSky

A cute and quick read for the Parks and Rec fans out there. Most is about the show, some personal anecdotes from Jim sprinkled in. Recommend if you need some fluff and are a fan of the show. B+ #books #booksky

It could have been so good 😭

Thoughts on #OnyxStorm that I need to get off my chest, then I will move on with my life. Spoilers incoming!

Finally finished #OnyxStorm. Wtf did I just read? What just happened? So many thoughts and not enough energy to articulate them. Just… wow #romancelandia #romantasy

Oh wow I remember like 12% of Iron Flame. Who are all these people??!! 😅 #onyxstorm #romantasy

I enjoyed this. However, I’m giving it a mid grade cuz I was more invested in the mystery of Griff’s parents and Hanna’s bonesetting than their romance. Appreciated seeing regency London from a working class Arab perspective tho. C+ #romancebooks #historicalromance #romancelandia #books #BookSky

A cute sequel! A little wordy and over the top with the sentimentality at times, but always happy to return to Marsyas island A- #books #booksky #fantasybooks #bookrecs

LA gets a bad rap, but the minute these fires started people hustled to help. Help from the schools and libraries, the LGBTQ+ centers, the undocumented workers, the independent bookstores and small businesses. Everything that they want to restrict access to has been what’s saving us.

This is very good advice! Stay safe friends

Despite everyone I know loving this, I have mixed feelings. I enjoyed hearing her story and her opening up about therapy and her marriage. But I wanted it to go deeper. It very much read like a grocery list, which makes sense cuz she’s a recipe writer, not an author C+ #booksky #memoir #nonfiction

😂 too true #romancebooks #romancelandia #books #BookSky

This was super corny and I loved it so much! Felt like reading a Hallmark movie- in the best way. Also made me nostalgic for the early 2000s before everyone had phones. A few points off for choppy dialogue, but otherwise a very cheery read. A- #romancebooks #romancelandia #books #BookSky

Fake dating! A Christmas tree farm! A small town with lovable background characters! I really loved this book- it’s cute and cozy and gave me all the heart squish feels. Excited to dive into the rest of the series A+ #romancebooks #romancelandia #books #BookSky

Just the most fun show I ever did see! The costumes, the orchestra, the physical comedy - it’s all pure joy. So glad to get this little slice of Broadway in LA. Bravo @michaelurie.bsky.social @anagasteyer.bsky.social

All of the posts on my feed about people graduating and finishing their degrees and now they are teachers and scientists. Making me feel all warm and fuzzy inside 🥹🥰

This was a fun premise with poor execution. I was excited to read a book with an older MC (more books about not 20 year olds please!), but this was so much telling and not enough showing. And calling it an Emma adaptation seems like a huge stretch D+ #romancebooks #romancelandia #books #BookSky

I’m not big on grumpy- sunshine, but this was well done, and I do like celebrity- normie. Adams always leaves 1 thing out in the epilogue (in this case what happened to Gretchen’s practice), but a small complaint for giving us a lovely Bromance series B+ #romancebooks #romancelandia #books #BookSky

Second chance enemies to lovers! Snowed in! One bed! I typically only like one of these tropes, but I liked this book. Got a bit meta cuz both MCs are romance writers, but ultimately this is a love letter to the romance reading community B+ #romancebooks #romancelandia #books #BookSky

This one was mid for me! I was excited about the premise, but the banter missed the mark and there wasn’t enough of that heart squish feeling. And the complaining about the baby and the holidays got old fast. C- #romancebooks #romancelandia #books #booksky
