@willaful @romancebooks I’m still not reading new, but on a road trip I relistened to Bookshops and Bonedust by Travis Baldree, this time with my hubby. Still delightful.

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks Started listening to Flor’s Fiasco by Ruby Dixon, I’ve been waiting for this on audio forever so I can finally finish Icehome series. Exactly what I was expecting so far, fun and steamy.

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks sounds cute! I’m listening to Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood and so far it’s keeping my attention, which is not easy these days!

@willaful @romancebooks yeah, was super meh on that book, and I don’t remember if I finished…

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I actually finished a book in Mexico, listened to Bride by Ali Hazelwood. It was enjoyable!

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I adore that book, especially as a demi.

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I have been playing games instead of reading. I am attempting to buddy listen to Gallant by V.E. Schwab for a book club I’m in. It’s enjoyable, I’m just not in the right mode.

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I read it 7+ years ago, but I enjoyed Keeping Her Secret by Sarah Nicolas. And I loved The Summer of Jordi Pérez by Amy Spalding, especially the audiobook.

For light romance, what about Legends and Lattes?

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I finished listening to On a Night Like This by Liz Maverick, and just started listening to Do Your Worst by Rosie Danan and so far it’s fun!

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks really enjoyed the unconventional romance that was Stars in Your Eyes!! Glad you loved it too!

I’m reading nothing! Sad but true. Ah well.

@Eve @willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks seriously. And that’s not even books from the 80s or 90s, the 00s too

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I’m finding that more and more with my old Harlequins, very few gems.

I’m not really reading at the moment, we’re in the mountains for our 20th anniversary! We did listen to Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree on the road trip, my second time, Brett’s first.

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I’m avoiding reading my ARC of Evergreen by Devin Greenlee for my read ahead #readathon for #COYER. It’s just not capturing me, and the reviews have the same complaints I already notice, so I really want to DNF. Instead I decided to relisten to Eight Winter Nights by Liz Maverick after recommending it, so maybe I can read the next 2 novellas. Definitely more my mood right now.

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I love Julia Whelan’s narration…I will always pick the audio if she’s the narrator.

I enjoyed L&L, but IIRC, Rebecca Yarros’s story was my favourite of the series.

I finally started reading/listening to Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros, and so far the narrator is okay, so score!

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I’m reading/listening to The Family You Make by Jill Shalvis, hoping to finish before #HoHoHoRAT2023 ends tomorrow. It’s exactly what I enjoy with Shalvis, easy, with just enough depth. And even though it’s not Christmas, the winter scene fits the mood.

@willaful @notTheAudience @romancelandia @romancebooks ROFL, I don’t remember that recycling one, but I’ve definitely had ace spectrum issues with Hazelwood on occasion. I still enjoy other parts, but I’m now thankful I’m not knowledgeable enough about the science community to get bothered by it.

I always find it funny which aspects of books will bother me to the ends of times, and which ones I’ll be able to just shrug and accept in order to enjoy the good parts…it surprises me sometimes.

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks it’s definitely a spectrum (of which I’m on)…I really hope it gets better, because I had that book on my radar, but I appreciate at least acknowledgement of the spectrum for ace rep.

I’m almost finished my reread of Fairytale by Maggie Shayne, and just started listening to my ALC of Bookshops and Bonedust by Travis Baldree!
