Grumpy sunshine with a fake dating twist?!?! Yes please

This book is such a cute quick read. A YA holiday romcom centered around Hanukah

You know it‘s going to be good when both the cashier at Barnes and Noble and a random fellow customer tell you that you‘re going to love it.

Highly enjoyable quick read that thrusts you into a world of fantasy and fairytales and adaptations.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Zero spice
Sapphic

Per usual I couldn‘t put it down and have been reading alll day.

This series is one of my favorites, packed with adventure, snark and beautifully written characters, finding ways to survive in a post apocalyptic world.

This story follows Paz and Bird after Zenith has been restructured. Paz has returned to his old job and Bird is helping run the government. But when she is abducted Paz must step out of his comfort zone to help try and find her

A cute romcom about time traveling and being stuck with your biggest rival. This was a cute story and had me cracking up a few times

On the edge of my seat the entire time

Fantastic as usual, I can‘t wait for the next in the series, honestly if I could bury myself in a pile of these books for the next year I would

A book that will never quite leave you

Why are Abby Jimenez books so good?!?! The laughter, the adorableness, the relatability.

A love uncontainable or House Mate, this book is adorable 😍

I really enjoyed this one, it was full of suspense without being super scary (I‘m a wimp). I loved the way you got the story through the different characters perspectives. I also did not see that twist coming 10/10

I finally finished this one, as incredible as the first. Deka and her blood sisters are out to free Ôtera from oppression, but are they being swayed in the right direction. @Mshookquilts I can finally lend it to you

I decided to wrap up 20 of my physical tbr this weekend, I‘m on my second blind pic and it‘s the best idea I think I‘ve ever had

A gripping tale of horror, murder and modern day racism. Coco (Colette) returns to Catalina after 20 years, leaving after her family was brutally murdered now a “beast” is murdering the elderly women on the island and Colette must survive and try to stop them
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, it was terrifying, emotional and absolutely thrilling. A must read for anyone who enjoys suspense.

The second Jane Austen adaptation in the Raje series. I actually think I like this one better than the first though so far persuasion is my favorite Austen.

In this we follow Ashna and Rio, high school sweethearts torn apart who both believe the other left them. Competing as partners in a cooking show.

This book. Chefs kiss. It‘s full of delicious sounding food. Fun banter and emotions

A modern day Indian American reverse perspective pride and prejudice retelling.

Trisha Raje is a genius, a surgeon who can do more than anyone in her field. She comes from a tight knit royal Indian family.

DJ or Darcy is a renowned chef who thinks Trisha is an uppity snob. Whose only worth is that she can save his sisters life.

This book had intense emotions, funny moments and mouthwatering descriptions of food

This book is funny and lighthearted, a happy read that will give you all the cupcake cravings

The final book in Evie and Christopher‘s love story. These two have been through so much. They are clearly soulmates and Elisabeth Garner sucks you into the world so thoroughly that you feel like you‘re going through all of it with them. This story is beautiful.

Absolutely loved this one! An instant favorite

Krampus inspired demon romance? Yes, yes please

This is a sweet second chance romance

What if stories were illegal? This book was an awesome what if!

This book had my enthralled I was so invested right alongside Deryn wanting to find her killer and get back her memories

This book is so cute! It makes me want to paint

A spicy delightful romcom. When a one night stand turns into more. I love her writing

Susan Renee is definitely becoming a favorite author. I loved Hannah and Grayson‘s story so much!

This may be a new favorite book, it is downright adorable

Have I been listening to this for weeks? Yea. Was it worth it? Definitely

I stayed up all night reading this book, it is so cute. Hadley is so sassy, I love it!

Crows remember human faces. They remember the people who feed them, who are kind to them. And the people who wrong them too. They don‘t forget. They tell each other who to look after and who to watch out for.

This book is SOOOOO good. If you like fairytale retelling a and badass girls and lgbtqia representation. Y‘all this book tho. I had heard it was good but 🤯🤯🤯🤯 I think I‘m in love

God those oddly specific Facebook ads were right on the mark. This book combines my 3 favorite things. Coffee, books and tattoos. I absolutely loved it. Read it in 4 hours straight 10/10

This book is a super cute modern fairytale based in the Christmas season. Definitely worth reading in March though. Thanks @mshookquilts for the rec and lend.

This book is beautiful inside and out. It‘s enchanting and magical

I really enjoyed this book! The ending was such an epic surprise/cliff hanger, I can't wait to read more.

This was a cute quick YA romcom. Bit of a combination on the enemies to lovers and friends to lovers. I enjoyed it.

I loved this book. The friendship between Tabitha and her girls. The love between her and her grandmother. The fierceness with which she lives her life! Her refusal to give up her plan for life even if it had to change slightly! Loved it! https://heartandsoulbooks.blogspot.com/2022/03/black-girls-must-die-exhausted.ht...

Another review, another 10/10. I am so excited that Elise Bryant is working on another addition to this series, because these are the perfect books for anytime you need some happy

OMG go read this book now.
I think I have a new favorite
https://heartandsoulbooks.blogspot.com/2022/02/first-review-of-february.html

This novel examines family, loyalty and values while leading you through actual historical events with real characters. I'm honestly upset I haven't heard of Germaine De Stael before.

This last novel in the trilogy took me a little longer to get into than the first two, but once I was in, I was hooked. I could not put these books down. They are incredible!

It's been a minute, or possibly ever since I only read one book at a time.This year I'm trying something different and I have been loving being fully immersed only in this world.
Laini Taylor has been drawing me in so completely. Karou is badass, and honestly so is Zuz. I love her characters, I love these books and 2 days after finishing the second I'm already halfway through the third.

This book was soooo good it had me instantly grabbing for the next one

Still just as good as it was the first time

Finally catching up on some book reviews...these are completely out of order as I go through the growing pile of finished books on my desk.

I absolutely love @booksbyemgarner writing. She writes life. You connect with her characters and feel like you are one of them. Not a specific character but another one in the room with them. I loved this book, I can't wait to keep reading her series.

Happy Spooky Season...even though it's almost over...what can I say, I'm behind. Though I would read this book any season of the year, it was lighthearted yet suspenseful and so much fun.
