the 10th book in the Veronica Speedwell series, where there's a little mystery that these two people have to solve.

this is historical set in Montreal where we have a woman who is trying to keep her cat shelter and she's also falling in love.

This woman goes to this retreat and the man there they fall in love. It's pretty simple. But, for me to give a romance four stars, it's kind of be pretty good.

It started out being something that I was going to love and then it was just okay... And there was a lot of really interesting commentary. And then it turned out to just be okay.

This is the revolutionary life of the Black Book Store. It's a history of black owned bookstores.

I purchased, wanted to read, read it, hated it. there's a woman who like moves to a small town, is going to run a business. Everything goes awry. She falls in love.

the flop for reading people's favorites... this is like a culti retreat wellness that these people go on, and it's like kind of billed as a slasher, but I don't know if that's what I would call it.

this is a group of different characters in different situations who are all getting revenge on the people who have enslaved them. I thought it was very good.

this is about two characters who work at this restaurant together. one is a bisexual woman, one in the story comes out as non-binary, and it's how the rest of the restaurant reacts.

is a woman who works in a convenience store and she feels like that is what meant to do and she's happy about it. But, other people interpret her differently.

It's set on an island. It's like a jungle survival show. I don't remember a lot about the plot actually, but I gave this four stars.

this was loosely on my radar, but I don't know if I would have picked it up if not for a video where I was reading the most divisive favorites from last year, and it turned out to be a five-star for me.

It is a proper romance thriller... that's the pitch of the book as like this slasher romance and I think it really leans into the ridiculousness of it so perfectly.

It's about the dead. It's about like the living and the dead and all these people who have died in this house.

This has to do with characters who were roommates years ago, and now they've been gifted this brownstone upon the death of the person who rented it to them... So, it's a second chance romance, and I liked it a lot.

we have two characters who fall in love... It's not a romance. It's very much about their own personal lives and careers.

This is a couple characters who are convinced that they have discovered like immortality, but it's also really mundane and slow, and it barely talks about immortality at all.

This is about a woman who flees her family home, her childhood home. she has been abused and it's about her just like making a life for herself, finding a place to be, making this house a home that she finds.

I will have this in my wrap-up at the end of the month to give you a proper review, but it's my favorite kind of story, where there's a woman experiencing two different versions of her own reality.

Paradise Logic, which I loved, is about a girl a woman obsessed with becoming the perfect girlfriend, and she is very whackadoodle.

It's a story of grief with a woman who has lost her sister, and she is just kind of trapped in her own despair, and spiraling, and being really chaotic at the same time.

it's a series of short stories, and I don't know if I can really pinpoint a theme of them... I gave it like a 3.5.

I read The Library Book, I loved it, gave it a 4. something.

Ever since art gave life to the bloodthirsty shadows, creative works have been forbidden and talented creators sacrificed to the sinless... But, it's mostly a romance between two people.

This is about a group who is time traveling people from the past without their consent, really, and trying to understand time travel and then not a lot happened, to be perfectly honest.

I was interested in reading. I didn't love it as much as I thought I would. It's about the first black astronaut at NASA in this fictional story going on a spaceship.

Loved this. It's one escalator ride. I'd never heard of it before and it's just this man overthinking every moment of his day.

this was a three-point something. I'm going to continue reading in this series, The Princes of Sin. this one I wanted to like more than I did.

I don't know if it really delivered exactly what I wanted, but it is set in space and it's a very unique premise of her being horny for an alien.

is a collection of interconnected short stories set in the near future where a lot of children are like made in factories and there's different groups of people who are in charge of different things within the society.

incredible. About somebody who is responsible for ferrying the dead into the afterlife and her current charge is not doing exactly as she expects them to.

I had an e-arc kindly sent to me by the publisher, and I had such a good time in this gothic romance world, and I want the second book.

It's 1910's New York Coney Island, and they're participating in like a kind of circus amusement park performance. It's a queer love story. It's a very substantial book with beautiful images... I think it was like a 3.75.
