Episode 51: [FT MOM AND SISTER] Long Live the Elf Queen / JM Kearl

The Dragon King is looking for a wife.
This news throws the women in my village into a tizzy. The king will be sending out the royal guard to bring women of childbearing age to his castle in Jade City.
There is only one requirement: the woman must carry enough magic to produce an heir for him.
I’m a watered-down human with a mere ten percent dragon magic lineage, I know I won’t be chosen, but for some reason the magic sniffers command me to present myself to the king as a po...
Episode 48: A Forbidden Fate // Kaven Hirning

I immediately fell in love with this world, like you can tell that the author is just getting started with everything, i want to know more! Also Kaven understands us book obsessed individuals! I didn't find out until after I read the book that she is very popular on Tiktok and I actually already follow her too! She is one of us. The characters were so effortlessly funny, I instantly knew I would love anything Kaven writes!
---------------------------
A centuries long war, an enchanted wood, and a curse.
Idalia leaves her castle to...
Episode 47: The American Roommate Experiment / Elena Armas

One of my TOP FAVORITE books now!! Seriously the chemistry between these two characters is off the chart and it really sucked me into the story of them!

Then, the ceiling of her New York apartment literally crumbles on her. Luckily she has her best friend Lina’s spare key while she’s out of town. But Rosie doesn’t know tha...
Episode 46: 7 Husbands of Evelyn Hugo // Taylor Jenkins Reid

With over 123K reviews on Amazon, it might give you a hint on how amazing this book might be, right!?
This is surprisingly a historical romance, i saying surprisingly because it honestly felt like a non fiction (Elizabeth Taylor, anyone?). The characters felt SO REAL!
When we think romance, we think swoon-worthy moments - love letters/texts, and surface-level issues that are solved within the matter of a few pages. But this love was nothing near surface-level. There was love and lust, but there was also loss and betrayal. Mistakes and apologies, some that led...
Episode 45: WHAT I READ THIS PAST WEEK

Episode 43.5: MINI EPSODE- Broken Bonds // J.Bree

I wanted to post a mini episode today because on Thursday an episode with the Husband will be posted! I didn't want to leave you hanging with nothing for Tuesday, so here we are :)
Broken Bonds had great character building and the storyline kept my attention for mostly the whole time through the 3 books I read. But let me warn you, Reverse Harem's are not for the faint of heart. This series is SPICY. Also major cliffhanger at the end of the 3rd book, its killing me not knowing what is going on!
Episode 43: The Bodyguard // Katherine Center

She’s got his back.
Hannah Brooks looks more like a kindergarten teacher than somebody who could kill you with a wine bottle opener. Or a ballpoint pen. Or a dinner napkin. But the truth is, she’s an Executive Protection Agent (aka "bodyguard"), and she just got hired to protect superstar actor Jack Stapleton from his middle-aged, corgi-breeding stalker.
He’s got her heart.
Jack Stapleton’s a household name—captured by paparazzi on beaches the world over, famous for, among other things, rising out of the waves in all manner of clingy boa...
Episode 42: It Ends With Us // Colleen Hoover

Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business.
And when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life seems too good to be true. Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder what made h...
Episode 41: Ugly Love // Colleen Hoover

When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she doesn't think it's love at first sight. They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her.
Never ask ab...

Episode 32: Book Lovers // Emily Henry + Life Update

Nora Stephens' life is books—she’s read them all—and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby.
Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters’ trip away—with visions of a small town transformation for Nora, who she’s conv...
