Book Lovers by Emily Henry- This author has fast become a favorite, I've enjoyed everything she's published. Book Lovers featured two main characters deeply entrenched in the publishing world Continue Reading

June 28, 2021 by Angela 5 Comments

Angela: It's only June and I already have several 5 star reads on my faves list. The Heiress Gets a Duke by Harper St. George- Even with the tried and true trope of "I have to find a wife to save my estate!" this romance felt fresh and I really loved the honesty between the main characters. See review here. Meet Me in Paradise by Libby Hubscher- This book hit me like a freight train, I went in thinking I was getting a fun getaway rom-com and ended up crying my eyes out at the end.

June 25, 2020 by Kini 2 Comments

Cover of Just a Heartbeat Away by Cara Bastone

I have been logging my books in a notebook. I haven’t been great about keeping up with the notes but I have managed to write down all the titles I have read this year. To date I have read 51 books and marked 19 as DNF’s, in total I have started 70 books this year. Last year I think I finished around 100, including DNFs so I am doing better than last year. Here is my list of favorites so far this year.  The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa- This feels like a cheat because Angela also had it, Continue Reading

Angela’s Mid-Year Update: My Favorites of 2020 So Far

June 24, 2020 by Angela 4 Comments

Cover of Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa

Contemporary Romance/WF The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa- Enemies to lovers is not my favorite trope, but this book worked for me in almost every way. It made me laugh out loud so many times and it was so hard to put it down once I started reading, I even found myself sneak reading at work just to get back to it. I highly recommend if you are looking for a true romantic comedy. See my review here. Beach Read by Emily Henry- This book surprised me in a good way. It wasn't even on my radar Continue Reading

Smexy’s Mid-Year Update: What we’ve read, what we’ve loved, what’s up next

July 10, 2019 by Angela 11 Comments

Angela: Hey y'all! It's half way into 2019 and Goodreads says I've read 78 books. My goal is 125 this year, so at the moment I'm ahead of schedule. I'm trying to incorporate more books that have been sitting on my TBR shelf into my reading schedule, but I can't seem to stop requesting review ARCs. I have willpower issues, I know this. Lol. As you can see, I'm a genre jumper. I vary rarely read in the same genre two books in a row. I read a ton of fantasy, urban fantasy, science fiction, Continue Reading
