Great for fans of Tessa Bailey, Ghosting is a fun, fast-paced tale of mistaken identity that gives us the story of rivals Zoey and Miles. What are they fighting over? The best seat at the local café they both like to work at while they play Cyrano for clients on dating apps, helping them fall in love. Despite disliking each other in person, both Zoey and Miles are falling in love online. Only neither of them realizes this, each of them thinking the other is the match of their client.

Good Night, Oppy! is a cute and informative book that will appeal to both adult and child fans of space - or anyone who may have gotten a little emotional over Oppy's final message in 2018, like myself.

Trick or Treat, Bugs to Eat is a delightful Halloween book with adorable illustrations and a fun story that ends with great facts about bats. 

Hollyn Tate is a popular entertainment blogger known as Miz Poppy, but her boss has recently told her she needs to start doing a vlog. The problem with this is twofold: Hollyn has anxiety plus Tourette's, and her ticks become more prominent when her anxiety levels rise. Being on camera seems impossible to her. But then she meets new coffee barista Jasper, who just happens to an actor involved in an improv group. Though their first meeting goes terribly, they soon become friendlier and Jasper offers to help Hollyn with her anxiety through private improv classes. As they grow closer, this arrangement soon morphs into private improv classes and Jasper pretending to be Hollyn's boyfriend which is complicated by them both harboring secret crushes on the other. Ultimately Yes & I Love You is a sweet and funny romance featuring my favorite trope (fake dating) that has made it onto my favorites list and gotten me excited to see what else Roni Loren has in store for this series.  

I've never met a Talia Hibbert book I haven't absolutely loved and Act Your Age, Eve Brown is no different. Hibbert is a master at her craft. If you're looking for a hilarious romance to read, look no further. 

I've come to associate Alisha Rai with well rounded characters, fantastic plot, and amazing inclusive romance. First Comes Like delivers on all three counts all while playing with my favorite romance trope: fake dating. If you've loved her other books, you have to read this. If you haven't read her other books, you still need to read this. You won't regret it.

We Sold Our Souls takes the root of metal equals Satanism and spins a horrifying yet compelling tale about a girl with a guitar fighting to stop evil with the only weapon she has - music. Once Kris was on the road to making it big as the lead guitarist in a metal band, but one night everything changed. With gaps in her memory of that night, she's sunken into obscurity like most of her other bandmates. Except for Terry, who is back in the limelight doing a farewell tour. It's always bothered her that he left the rest of them behind while he rose to fame. Perhaps she would have just let it rest, never intending to confront him. But Kris never expected to be thrust into a seemingly impossible conspiracy. Now she has no other choice but to go forward, vowing to confront Terry and find out what happened that night so long ago. As she races headlong into violence and danger, a bloody trail is left behind her. With no time grieve, Kris must go on, no matter what happens around her. Because, like she's always said, a girl with a guitar never has to apologize for anything. And her guitar - her weapon - might just be the very thing that saves the entire world.

If you've fallen in love with Warts and All by Lori Haskins Houran, prepare to love with Next to You. With the same wonderful illustrations filled with adorable animals, we have a short and sweet story about how no matter what cute animal you, the reader, are put next to, you are far more adorable. 

Fangs is the absolutely adorable and fun story about a vampire and werewolf's relationship. It will make you smile, laugh, and regret that it has to come to an end. This will definitely be one I will revisit any time I am looking for a nice bit of comfort. 

Cat lovers take note, this is the perfect for you to dive into. Even if you don't normally read manga, don't let that stop you. Chi's Sweet Home will have you falling in love with Chi as he adjusts to life with humans. If you've ever adopted a stray kitten, you absolutely will find this relatable and heartwarming. 10/10, highly recommend!
