I can't help that these characters make me giddy. It's a core example of "I would never in real life," but I think that's what makes the dark romance subgenre tick. Caught Up is such a character-driven romp that I was deeply unbothered by any plot holes (and there were a few). But Navessa Allen writes propulsive romance that has me turning the pages as fast as I can. I also loved getting to see some of the characters from book one, Lights Out. Eagerly awaiting where this series goes!

When I dive into audiobooks, I typically read non-fiction, but am trying to get into more fiction audiobooks. I'm learning that I'm a bit fussy about the narrators, though, especially when it comes to reading romance, when a bad narrator can make a steamy scene go cold. What are some of your favorite romance audiobooks?

I think if I hadn't read this book closely after books one and two, I would be so thoroughly lost. Even so, I don't think I "got" this book as much as the others in the series, despite the tone feeling more straightforward. The big value add for me was in the chapters with John, where you get a lot of the backstory of the current world and the original Lyctors. I'm still extremely curious about where the series goes, but feel like this was mostly a book to help thread the narrative needle.

Are there any books you're currently hyperfixating on at the moment?

I love how I think I can piece things together after just reading books 1 and 2 for the first time. I'm looking forward to just how wrong I am.

These "diary" format historical fiction novels were middle grade/YA books in the 90s into early 00s, definitely targeted toward a female audience. Covered a huge range of historical time periods and significant historical events too. Examples: Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie: The Oregon Trail Diary of Hattie Campbell Voyage on the Great Titanic: The Diary of Margaret Ann Brady, RMS Titanic, 1912 Anyway, young me devoured these novels-- anyone have similar vibes recommendations but for an adult audience?? I know that probably huge swaths of 'general historical fiction' could fit, but I'm looking for relatively personal accounts of individuals in a historical setting, and ideally not just WWII era.

I love Whitney Gardner's take on paranormal in her middle-grade graphic novels. Free Piano (Not Haunted) is about a young singer/songwriter, Margot, who stumbles upon a synthesizer piano from the '80s. Struggling with her relationship with her parents and feeling like she's not seen on social media or in real life, Margot ends up bonding with the ghost haunting her new piano. Gardner has the skill of taking the issues of growing up and making them feel fresh, rather than a story we've heard one too many times. I'd recommend this graphic novel to middle-grade readers, but also to the adults out there who love a good '80s reference.
