/audiobook lovers, what are you currently listenin /audiobook lovers, what are you currently listening to?

I'm on the hunt for my next one, but I just finished Headhunter by Kristen Proby, a great mix of contemporary romance with a dash of mafia. I'm digging it.

A new author I discovered this year is @authorkelcarpenter and I fell in love with the Daizlei Academy series. (Pretty sure it was through @allthingsnatusch.) And the audiobooks are sooo good! 

Now I've been snatching up all the ebooks since they're on KU and they're totally bingeable. 

If you love fantasy romance, check out this author!
/how are your reading challenges doing, if you're /how are your reading challenges doing, if you're doing any?!

As you all know, I'm a bit obsessed with working on my Netgalley TBR and I kept seeing the one that @angelareadsbooks took part in last month. That got me interested and I decided to participate in #loveARCtuallyxNetgalleyChallenge for April that's hosted by @lovearctually . 

There's a bingo card to go along with it and  I'm just hoping to get at least one BINGO.

So far I've read 2 ARCs and working on my third. Once I get through these, I'll be picking books at random from my TBR.

Here's to reaching my goal of a 70% feedback ratio by the end of the year!

When things shutdown a year ago, I wasn't really in the mood for some of my reading. And I found myself stumbling into fanfic and my love for #zutara began.

Something I absolutely love about fanfic is all the amazing artwork and that's actually how I stumbled upon the stunning work by @elithienart! Also, they recently did the beautiful dust jackets for the ACOTAR series (a few photos back).

And I finally added some prints to my Zutara obsession, can't wait to have them framed and displayed on my wall!

We got the cover reveal for @juliettecrossauthor Hunt of the Dragon, absolutely lover her dragon series!

I just bought this series in pb and can't wait to put them on my shelf!

A PRINCESS FOR CHRISTMAS BY JENNY HOLIDAY

2020, audio review, review, rsfave, Uncategorized · November 29, 2020

#RSFave & Audio Review | A Princess for Christmas — a holiday read I actually loved.

Review I’ve been striking out hard with holiday reads, they’re not books I gravitate towards, but every year I want to give them a chance. And this was going to be the year that I called it quits on holiday reads. However, A Princess for Christmas won me over completely and it wasn’t like some ...

Review I was dead set on not starting this series no matter how many times people that I was crazy for waiting. Eventually, the ayes had it and I gave in, I was seeing Jen's book everywhere and Hawke had me intrigued. I've been of JLA's books since the Covenant series and Aiden is my #1. Even ...

Okay, tagging everyone cause I love reading about all my bookish friends β™‘

More book recommendations coming your way! I was recently tagged by fellow bookish friend over at @liber_lady to share a bookstack that reminds me of spring. Honestly, I don't have a whole lot of colorful books. 

Loving this stack so much and they're all favorites from new adult romance to fantasy romance.

/ interconnected series, anyone? I've been doing / interconnected series, anyone?

I've been doing a lot of re-reading this year and it has been the absolute best. There's a lot of series that I just haven't finished and am finally getting to them. The beauty of taking on less ARCs.

I binged @staceymariebrown NA fantasy romance series that are interconnected. You have to read these in order and I recommend them soooo much. I'm still working on my series write-up, it's taking a bit of time because... well, it's a lot of books.

🌟 SERIES READING ORDER🌟
DARKNESS
COLLECTOR
LIGHTNESS

Each series has a different couple, Lightness covers two couples within that series. And you'll see characters from the previous books as you make your way through. From the badass heroines to the heroes you just can't help, but love πŸ˜‰

All the recommendations for these plus I just love Stacey 😘
/ weekend plans? Honestly, I hope to get a nap in / weekend plans?

Honestly, I hope to get a nap in since the mister doesn't have to work this weekend πŸ‘πŸ½

Look at that, I'm attending another #romancestagramball that's being hosted by the lovely @feminist_romance.

And my date or dates (wink*wink) is Den of Vipers by @katieknightauthor.

Plus there's a nice little reel I made πŸ˜‚ all the trends, but it was fun. Serious props to the ones that make the book toks and book... reels? It's too much work and I don't even know how I had the energy to make it.

Today I'll be donating to the Asian Mental Health Collective!
