  • Book club Recs?

    Hello all! I'm in charge of picking out the next read for my irl book club. I'm looking for something with a spooky summer campfire story vibe. (I don't know how to articulate the difference between autumn spooky 🎃 and summer spooky 🏕️ but it exists.) Please no body horror recs. I'll also take any other recs for a book your club loved no matter the genre because it will be my turn to pick again in 4 months!

  • Can an audiobook narrator improve your experience of a book

    Was wondering if you ever come across a book with a dull or not that best story line but the narrator was so good at what they do that you didnt mind listening to them even though you would have otherwise dnfed the book?

  • The Dixon Rule (Campus Diaries, #2)
    STRONG CONTENT WARNING

    There is a scene where the villain violently assaults Diana Dixon. It's on page and will be very triggering for domestic violence. Secondary warning for terminal illness, loss of a parent, grief.

    ISO‼️More sports romance where SHE is an athlete too

    This is still my favorite (like #1 gold standard) for hockey romance and I think that's because Gigi is also a serious athlete. AND the story revolves around her career in the sport as much as him. If you have recs with this premise, please lmk 💬

    Rating: 4/5⭐️

    Review:
    Spiral was the perfect mix of sports romance, fake dating, and so much tension. Elias and Sage had instant chemistry, and their dynamic was everything—grumpy but soft hockey player (a true cinnamon roll at heart) meets determined ballerina fighting for her dreams? Yes, please! I loved how their relationship evolved naturally (they had me giggling and kicking my feet all the time), and the way they supported each other’s careers made my heart melt. The only thing keeping this from being a full five stars was that I wanted more emotional depth in some moments, but overall, this was such a fun, binge-worthy read!

    Who Should Read This:
    If you love romance with a splash of murder, and a touch of small-town charm, Scythe & Sparrow is for you!
