The Full Moon Coffee Shop (The Full Moon Coffee Shop, #1)

Mai Mochizuki

Translated from the Japanese bestseller, this charming and magical novel, inspired by the myth of cats returning favors to those who care for them, reminds us that it’s never too late to follow our stars. In Japan cats are a symbol of good luck. As the myth goes, if you are kind to them, they’ll one day return the favor. And if you are kind to the right cat, you might just find yourself invited to a mysterious coffee shop under a glittering Kyoto moon. This particular coffee shop is like no other. It has no fixed location, no fixed hours, and seemingly appears at random to adrift young people at crucial junctions in their lives. It’s also run by talking cats. While customers at the Full Moon Coffee Shop partake in cakes, coffees, and teas, the cats also consult them on their star charts, offer cryptic wisdom, and let them know where their lives have veered off course—because every person who visits the shop has been feeling more than a little lost. And for a down-on-her-luck screenwriter, a romantically stuck movie director, a hopeful hairstylist, and a technologically challenged website designer, the feline guides will set them back on their fated paths. After all, there is a reason the shop appeared to each of them…

I enjoyed reading this book, the couple are super cute and I love seeing Noah recognise his mistakes and take accountability. I thought a lot of things could have been fleshed out more, including Noah going to therapy and Maya and Sophie's friendship. It was a lot of us being told that stuff but not being shown it. I also missed a lot of their cuter interactions towards the end of the book; like the ponytail pulling, I thought that was so sweet but it stopped happening at the end.

Throttled (Dirty Air, #1)

Lauren Asher

Noah Maya Alatorre is the sister of my teammate…and my new obsession. Keeping my distance during the Formula 1 season should be easy, except I always find ways to see her. Press tours. Pre-race rituals. Sponsor events and black-tie galas. The more time we spend together, the stronger my desire grows. Sneaking around with her is one thing, but wanting more? Never going to happen. She might be a distraction dressed like a daydream, but no woman is worth risking the championship title over. Or so I thought. Maya Noah Slade is Formula 1 royalty and my brother’s biggest rival. When I’m invited to join my sibling while he competes for the World Championship, I promise to avoid Noah at all costs. Twenty-one races. Two drivers who hate each other. And one forbidden attraction I can’t ignore. Developing feelings for Noah wasn’t part of my plan. But then again, neither was anyone finding out. Turns out the man I was warned about happens to be the one I can’t stay away from. Even if he breaks my heart once the season comes to an end.

Now Kiva’s purpose goes beyond survival to vengeance. For the past ten years, her only goal was to reunite with her family and destroy the people responsible for ruining their lives. But now that she has escaped Zalindov, her mission has become more complicated than ever. As Kiva settles into her new life in the capital, she discovers she wasn’t the only one who suffered while she was in Zalindov—her siblings and their beliefs have changed too. Soon it’s not just her enemies she’s keeping secrets from, but her own family as well. Outside the city walls, tensions are brewing from the rebels, along with whispers of a growing threat from the northern kingdoms. Kiva’s allegiances are more important than ever, but she’s beginning to question where they truly lie. To survive this time, she’ll have to navigate a complicated web of lies before both sides of the battle turn against her and she loses everything.

Wild Card (Rose Hill, #4)

Elsie Silver

Sebastian Rousseau is a grumpy, hot as hell fire pilot who is too damn good with his hands. It’s the perfect combination. But unfortunately for me, he’s also my ex-boyfriend’s dad. A chance meeting brought us together and a missed connection has kept us apart. One year later, a stroke of fate has us living under the same roof—which makes everything between us downright messy. Because even after all this time, he’s still the man I think about when I fall asleep. The one I can’t get over no matter how hard I try. He’s working on mending a fragile relationship with his son and we both know acting on these urges would be the ultimate betrayal. But I see the heat in his eyes. That look of need that never fails to send a shiver down my spine. The mutual longing is borderline unbearable and the simmering heat between us is downright palpable. We both know there are rules when it comes to situations like this. But then again…following the rules never has been my strong suit.

Shall I read Laurie Gilmore books ?

Humans of pagebound and non humans (one can never know), I have this compelling urge to read Dream Harbor series, because of course bookstagram, it's September and I am such a girl, I adore everything cutesy. But and it's a big BUT.... I am also a Gemini, so the duality is extreme and nudges me more towards darker romances with content warnings, pair it with the reviews on these books... and you have got a confused as anything ME. What do I do ? Shall I enter this world or stay far away ?

CASSIAN GET OUT OF HERE, I WANT TO SEE MY GIRLS BONDING GET OUT GET OUT (Don't get me wrong, I like his character, and I think he's cool, but Nesta needs to be alone and capable of being alone before anything could happen with him. it's kind of disappointing to see the romance agenda being pushed so hard. It could have been done so well but it just isnt clicking with me :/ )
