    A nice filler volume, focusing on the love story of side characters and family meetings. I really love how Himuro x Fuyutsuki are opening up more and more with one another.

    A cozy and utterly delicious f/f manga set in Japan.

    I really enjoy reading this series! It's so sweet and their love story is a slow burn that I can't wait to see ignite soon.

    This was disappointing.

    I loved The Next Best Fling and was so excited to read the next installment in the Librarians in Love series. But Kiss Me, Maybe was just...it was a snooze.

    I ended up listening to this and I don't know what was going on but Ruby Corazon's narration of Angela is monotone. It may be due to how Angela is written, which carried a clinical tone. I also struggled with no clear distinction of tones for other characters like Crystal and Marcela.

    I still managed to trudged through it because I didn't want to quit. But I almost wish I had just DNF'd earlier. I truly hope this is just a sophomore slump, because I genuinely liked the first book in this series.

    Nevertheless, I'll definitely be giving the third installment in this series a go once it comes out!

    This was cute. The writing was pretty good and I liked both main characters. 

    While I appreciated the journey Angela was on, at times the language was stiff, almost clinical. Educational, in a sense, but it kinda took me out of the story, I think. 

    Also… <spoiler>the concept of wanting to keep your first kiss for the winner of the scavenger hunt, but then literally having sex with another person, just Not technically kissing? That’s absolutely ridiculous. It just felt forced that they didn’t kiss by that point. Like you have to admit you’re no longer saving your “firsts” for someone. Felt almost like they were saying those forms of sex don’t count? Which is ofc silly.</spoiler>

    Lovelace creates a cozy and sapphic love story in Books, Iced Coffee & a Side of Dragons. It's cute, wholesome, and joyful queer representation.

    In Game On, Navessa Allen gives us a bisexual king, a sharp chronically ill queen, and a parrot that is full of sass.

    I LOVED this installment. I ended up listening to it and James Cassidy is PHENOMENAL. He's got Tyler's persona to a T with his arrogant, sarcastic rude tones that bleed off the page. I also really liked the more vulnerable moments that he personified, making me CRY. This man made me cry. Then, there was Tara Langella who portrayed Stella's sharp banter and softness with a voice that was strong and certain. I loved how Cassidy's and Langella's chemistry surged between them to give us the BEST narration of Tyler and Stella.

    As always, I loved the little nuggets of character appearances like a Josh sighting ❤️

    What you'll find in this book is: ❤️‍🔥 fake dating ❤️‍🔥 enemies to lovers ❤️‍🔥 a bisexual king ❤️‍🔥 a chronically ill queen ❤️‍🔥 triad sexual encounters ❤️‍🔥 brat kink exploration

    I feel like this is the end of the Into Darkness series and I truly can't wait to read what else Navessa Allen has up her sleeves in the future.

    In Please Don't Go, Salvador explores loss, grief, friendship, and love. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll want to hug Josie x Daniel by the end.

    If you're looking for a fluffy romance, this is NOT the one. So, please go.

    If you love romances that are emotionally complex and are a bit more heavy and realistic, Please Don't Go is your next read!
