There’s a formula that guarantees I will love a book: spicy, based in New York City and a career choice I could’ve never imagined but immediately wish I had considered. Not Another Love Song captures all of these things and then expands on them with a beautiful tribute to the art of classical music.

Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood- A Book Review
This novel completely enthralled me. Check & Mate’s rivals-to-lovers build felt organic with a slow burn that frankly had me questioning whether they would become lovers at all.
The Prospects by KT Hoffman – Love on the Outfield: A Review
An ode to both baseball and romance novels, KT Hoffman’s debut is funny, flirty, and brimming with joy. He details everything to perfection from the baseball diamond to the open-door scenes, in an illustrative and witty manner, yet still full of tenderness.
Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston – A Magic Apartment, Lemons, and Romance: A Review
She finds Iwan, an optimistic and decidedly attractive aspiring chef, in her apartment and finds it difficult to follow the second rule. That is not her only problem; however, the Iwan she wants is seven years in the past.
Nightwatching by Tracy Sierra – A Frightened & Underestimated : A Review
This book is one of the most terrifying books I have ever read. I was petrified to turn the page, and I was unable to sleep and wasn’t even sure if I could finish the book, yet it was one of my top reads this year.
What is Love By Jen Comfort – A Review
The chemistry and banter between these two 30-somethings is fresh and funny, and the spice is on fire! Just what I needed to get me out of my reading rut!
The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters- A Book Review
In conclusion, I enjoyed this novel and was emotionally invested in it from the beginning. However, despite the narration and writing quality, I got bored by the end. I still recommend Berry Pickers and look forward to reading her future novels.
The Fake Mate by Lana Ferguson – A Review
Additionally, both main characters are physicians, shifters, and rare forms of their species (omega and alpha, respectively). If you are unfamiliar with shifters (aka werewolves), this book has little to no world-building; I would not consider it true paranormal or fantasy.
Yellowface by R.F. Kuang – A Review
From the discussion on how social media sells books to how the publishing industry has already selected what will be a best seller long before books make it to market, Kuang gave details on the “dirty” side of publishing. As someone who spends lots of time engaged on book-related social media, I loved the critique I believe Kuang was trying to get across.
Long Bright River by Liz Moore – Review
Moore’s thriller explores the dynamics of sisterhood, living with addiction, and the vulnerability of those who make their living on the streets. This book will haunt you until you finish it, not only to unravel all the plot secrets but also to see how these sisters turned out to be such outwardly different people.
