This was a solid read. I didn't connect to it as much as I did any of the books in The Naturals series but it was still a decent read with characters that were unsettling real in some instances. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

I soft pick - this was an expectations problem. I was lured by the premise of a female artist stumbling across a naked man and using him as a model, only to find out he is a Duke. I expected hijinks and trading for modeling sessions and fun.
This went a lot deeper into PTSD, alcoholism, corruption, mental institutions - especially the last third went to some dark places and I'm not sure the pay-off really got out of them. More painting please!
Up next from my bedside stack.
I keep thinking I‘ve read this, but I‘m not sure if I‘ve just seen and read enough bits about it that I think I‘ve read it. Oh well we shall see.
An espresso martini and a good societal drama - Yes, please! One thing I have learned over the past few years is that going to a bar or restaurant by myself to read is absolutely freeing. Coffee shops are a little different...most people go to coffee shops to read.

I‘ve read so many good books this year! Hard to narrow it down (I‘m looking at you, #ALSpine 😂) so here are two February books I loved. #12Booksof2023 @Andrew65
I‘m trying to balance spooky and sweet reads this month so I can sleep 😆.
This romance was recommended to me for #12challenge- 12 books, 12 friends, 12 months.
I don‘t read much romance, but I thought this was pretty good. Lots of spice.
Lucy is a seamstress and an art student. She stumbles upon a passed out drunk and naked man in an alleyway and paints his figure into a mythical work. Turns out he‘s a Duke, and a rather naughty one.
I enjoyed this book, it‘s a very sweet little story about overcoming youth, stupidity and poor choices and really, who among us doesn‘t need that?
