Welcome to sunny summer romances! The team behind Sourcebooks Romance is so excited to share six rom-coms packed with yearning, tension, and unforgettable heat. Hereâs what awaits you:
Two small towns youâll never want to leave. Cash by Jessica Peterson delivers Texas ranch vibes, a ridiculously hot cowboy, and an enemies-to-lovers romance you wonât be able to quit. Story of My Life by Lucy Score gives Gilmore Girls meets Schittâs Creek energyâthink small-town charm, big personalities, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments.
Sun-soaked chaos, courtesy of Meghan Quinn. Till Summer Do Us Part serves up fake dating, forced proximity, and summer camp nostalgiaâwith a cabin-sharing situation that get complicated fast. Just for the Cameras brings Grumpy x Sunshine tension, a PR disaster, and a romance that might be getting a little too real for the cameras.
Love Song by Elle Kennedy is your steamy summer reset, set in the Briar universe, where one unforgettable summer changes everything (and yes, the next gen is bringing the drama).
Female Fantasy by Iman Hariri-Kia is a whirlwind summer romance that author Lyla Sage calls âclever, delightfully chaotic, and a total joy to read.â Because summer isnât complete without a good road trip.

I haven't read contemporary romance in ages cause I'm so stuck on monsters and aliens, so this is gonna be a good way to break me out of my alien rut (get it?) ~
Which one are you most excited for? I'm really feeling 'Till Summer Do Us Part' but it's going to be on hold for like 8 more weeks đđ
Which are you looking forward to and which are you starting with?

Avalon commented on a post from the Pagebound Club forum
Hi all đ
At the end of last year I shared this post with the resources for a Book Bingo created by myself and a few other Pagebound users. Since then, the amazing @Valouz has created a discord bot to keep track of bingo progress and award badges for achievements, and it has been so fun! It's been on our mind for a while to create a server dedicated to our little bingo, and it's finally happening!
Our intention is to cultivate a safe and welcoming environment for those that like to participate in reading challenges with others, but also to keep the social overwhelm to a minimum. We don't have any general chat channels, and all talk will be centred around the bingo. There are self-elected roles to indicate if you are open to having other users DM you. All book specific talk will take place in the PB forums, and any community building/general chatting can be done in other places (on PB or in DMs etc.). The server is 18+. This is a resource we want anyone to be able to use if they want, so I have linked a google drive folder with all of the assets here.
Now that we've gotten all the boring info out of the way, I just wanted to say how excited I am for this. It has been really fun so far and I am so keen to keep bingoing! Feel free to pop into the server and look around to decide if it's a good fit for you. The link is here. I won't bloat this post by sharing all the rules/details about the bingo here - that info is in the server, and also in the original post I linked in the first paragraph for those that want to use the resource independently.
Loving honks, Goosie đȘż

Avalon commented on daydreamday's review of All About Love: New Visions
[A little disclaimer: I think reading philosophical takes on love in a language that is not my mother tongue set me up for failure from the beginning. I felt detached from her perspective after the first few chapters and this could be due to the fact that nothing she wrote felt revolutionary or particularly new or moving to me, but also to the fact that I don't seem to feel as deeply in English as in my native language. And lots of people like this book, so đ€·ââïž]
This book leaves me confused, and not in a "I need to think about this a little more" but in a "what did I just read". One review quote in the back calls this a "spiritual handbook" and I think I agree. There were many good bits about patriarchy, materialism and some great quotes but everything I liked was overshadowed by religious/spiritual takes that I did not enjoy. I can see how that aspect would work for others but I couldn't connect with anything she said, which diminished my interest in listening to her perspective on love (which eventually started to feel repetitive too and weirdly contradictory?). The last chapter read like a full blown bible study and an analysis of angels and that sure is for some but definitely not for me.
The biggest letdown were some shockingly unkind positions towards women which I didn't expect at all and felt completely unnecessary.
hooks also makes a lot of claims regarding women and men, generations and people in general and rarely backs them up with sources. It felt like she was mostly pulling from personal experiences but the way it was framed made it sound like a generalised fact.
All in all, I don't think I will revisit this book, even for the aspects about capitalism and consumerism.
