Good morning Bookaholics!!
How are we all?
My question for you today is...
Do you ever listen to anything while reading? (Excluding audiobooks)
We have very high winds here on site, and it is being the absolute best backing sound for reading 🥰

I'm not a big fan of romances, but I decided after I finish The Chain and Frankenstein, I'll try to get out of my comfort zone and read something I don't usually read so... Romances!
I'll prefer something a little deeper than just a sweet cute love story, so I'm not THAT far from my usual reads, but I'll take any recs, really!

By chapter four, I just really loved Joonie. I read a lot of feedback on the book’s forum about how she came across as insufferable or obnoxious, but I love that she was super confident, especially as she unravels her younger years and what kind of person she was/tried to be in order to fit in, all because others judged her for the color of her skin. Also thought the narrator did an excellent job - I loved her voice!
The book as a whole was a good one; I loved the message it was giving, although sometimes Joonie’s argument about romance readers not being delusional fell flat as she went on to, ahem, do something a wee bit delusional. 😅 Still, she was spirited, and her love for romance novels really came in clutch when it mattered!!
As fun as it was to compare A Tale of Salt Water and Secrets to ACOTAR (it was sooo obvious!), I found myself not caring about that story as much toward the end, especially after the ball. However, I liked Joonie’s story and I think the alternating chapters of her POV and the story that she was obsessed with paired well together. The prophecy was one of my favorite parts, too. 😂
