I’m sorry the FMC talking making voices for her unborn baby is sending me! 😂

I think I messed up going with the audiobook for this one, I feel like I need to be taking notes. It’s not moving fast, but I was busy while listening, so maybe that’s on me. Hopefully I can keep up from here on out!

A Winter in New York

Josie Silver

A young chef stumbles on a secret family recipe that might lead her to the love—and life—she’s been looking for in this stunning novel. When Iris decides to move to New York to restart her life, she realizes she underestimated how big the Big Apple really is—all the nostalgic movies set in New York she’d watched with her mom while eating their special secret-recipe gelato didn’t quite do it justice. But Bobby, Iris’s best friend, isn’t about to let her hide away. He drags her to a famous autumn street fair in Little Italy, and as they walk through the food stalls, a little family-run gelateria catches her eye—could it be the same shop that’s in an old photo of her mother’s? Curious, Iris returns the next day and meets the handsome Gio, who tells her that the shop is in danger of closing. His uncle, sole keeper of their family’s gelato recipe, is in a coma, so they can’t make more. When Iris samples the last remaining batch, she realizes that their gelato and her gelato are one and the same. But how can she tell them she knows their secret recipe when she’s not sure why Gio’s uncle gave it to her mother in the first place? Iris offers her services as a chef to help them re-create the flavor and finds herself falling for Gio and his family. But when Gio’s uncle finally wakes up, all of the secrets Iris has been keeping threaten to ruin the new life—and new love—she’s been building all winter long.

A Very Merry Mistake (Very Merry, #1)

Lyra Parish

The sexy, cinnamon roll lumberjack offers me a ride into town, a stay at his cozy cabin, and eventually his bed—all things I can’t refuse. After several flirty glances and heated mistletoe kisses, we create rules—no strings attached and no falling in love. Agreeing to the impossible might be my biggest mistake yet. I visited the small town for one reason only—to prove a point to my father. Now I’ve got a fake boyfriend. A secret to keep hidden. And a choice to make that will determine more than just my future. If you're searching for a spicy holiday romance with a protective cinnamon roll lumberjack and sassy heroine, this book is for you! A Very Merry Mistake is a stand-alone with a sweet as gingerbread happily ever after. This small-town contemporary romance has a dash of grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, secret identity, and tons of Southern goodness. Fade to black is NOT included!

too many swear words i fear

whenever i read a romantasy series like fourth wing, crowns of nyaxia, i feel like there's too much swearing to the point where the words lose all meaning. i kind of understand the intent behind the usage by the author, but the words just lose their impact when they use them so often. a girl can only read the word "fucking" so many times y'know? anyone else feel like this? any romantasy or fantasy with a side of romance recs where swear words aren't all over the text like sprinkles on a cake? edit to clarify: swearing naturally is great! but every other sentence i can’t do it 😭😭

This comes up so often in books and movies, but are we just collectively ignoring morning breath in morning sex scenes? Or do fictional characters simply wake up with minty-fresh breath 24/7? 😂
