I meant to read this in December and never got to it. Nothing like Christmas in March? This is a very quick read about Tilly and George. Little bit of high school crush drama and a second chance romance. 

Thoughts: How cute! I loved watching this relationship blossom through emails! It's a very short book, about 100 pages, but it was still so enjoyable! 

This was one of those books where I'm like "is this for me"? Yes - yes it was. The characters manage to find a way into your heart, even without the spicy scenes. as an ex-Catholic, this series has really helped me explore the true problems I have with religion in today's society and come to grasp with my stance.  And, a little bit of sex never hurts. 

Thoughts: I have surprisingly never finished this entire series. I'm not sure why but here we are! To Santa, who got me this in either 2001 or 2002 - thanks! I finally read it 😂. Child me would have LOVED this. Adult me - struggled. So much. I was honestly really bored for the middle 3 books. I had to switch to audio to get through it. Patrick Stewart reads the final book and made it most excellent. 

I. Am. Deceased. 😂 Absolutely dead. A book influencer gets a squish peen, which is really an incubus in disguise. General smut occurs from there. I absolutely recommend if you need something short, hilarious, and straight up weird. 

Thoughts: What a fun take on Sleeping Beauty! Super short but long enough for a little character development and satisfactory resolution to all the characters! Loved the multiverse twist! 

It's been a hot minute since I've read a book that has smut as the literal plotline. What an experience....I don't even know what to say. Mothman horror romance in a cabin in the woods - there ya go. GO NUTS! 

Russ is such a sweetheart! This was a very quick read to me. While it deals with deep topics, it does so in a way that doesn't completely destroy your will to continue. 

Ali Hazelwood does it again. I don't know what her magic equation is but every single book of hers is FIRE. The characters, the plot, the romance - IT'S ALL PERFECT. Ugh - now what do I read without Scarlett and Lukas in my life? 

Wow - this is so far outside my normal genre but I'm so glad I picked it up. Great representation for LGBTQ and mental health - exploring the way different people cope with different things, told in a absolutely TERRIFYING fairytale type story. And the drawings throughout the book, showing the monsters? So good especially for those of us that can't picture things in their mind! I'll be thinking about this one for a while.
