The production of this audiobook was so good! The narrator is also very talented. I loved the Celtic myth elements and Eilean is also a great main character. I felt for her. I also loved Freya. I loved Eilean's bond with her grandmother as well. Cannot wait for part 2!

Four Eids and a Funeral is such a cute romcom. I loved getting to know Said and Tiwa and their Eid traditions. 

The witch Evelyn Rosewood seizes the chance to free her from her contract early by lifting a curse in the port city. In the city she sets up a potion store. Along with her judgy owl familiar Archie she tries to lift the curse.

A Drop of Fortune is a cosy fantasy filled with witches, fae, orcs and many more fantasy creatures. I enjoyed the world building. I do think I, personally, enjoy cosy fantasy more if I physically read the book (or a physical book combined with an audiobook!)

The audiobook was lovely narrated by Amanda Ronconi! I really enjoyed listening to her voice.

Wat een prachtig boek over het Nederlandse jeugdzorgstelsel. Ik vloog er door en liet hier een traan, daar een lach. Het boek zit steengoed in elkaar. De personages voelen echt. Je voelt de aandacht en toewijding die Carlie van Tongeren er in heeft gestoken. Echt een aanrader!

Thank you to NetGalley and  Little, Brown Book Group UK | Piatkus for giving me an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I have loved Emma Lord's books since Tweet Cute came out. So I was super happy that I got approved for the e-ARC for The Break-Up Pact. TBUP is Lord's first adult contemporary romance. Two best friends who haven't talked properly for 10 years are back in town. They both had exceptionally viral break-ups,  so the public is also interested in them. As the title probably gives away, June and Levi start a break-up pact, aka fake dating ❤. Along the way, June tries to keep open Tea Tide, the tea and scone café her late sister started, and Levi tries to finish his sad boy in New York manuscript. This novel has everything from celebrity intrigue, mean exes, grief and life next to the beach. 

I really enjoyed the book although the pacing felt a little slow. I enjoyed seeing June and Levi getting closer again and how deeply rooted their friendship is. 

If you like spicy romance books, this one might not be for you. But it is adorably cute!

I also liked that the misunderstanding happened 10 years ago and this is how they resolved it.

Highly recommend if you want a cute, summery read!

This one was very cute. I really love this series and cannot for the next one to come out :)

This is the Tayvis book if you have ever wanted to read one. The easter eggs are a plenty. And I thought it was really fun. I really enjoyed it and I cannot wait to start the next one! 

I think I have a new favorite smutty author.

What more can you ask for?

Also really good content warnings!

The narrators are also really good!

Thank you Netgalley and Boldwood Books for providing me with an e-ARC of Look What You Made Me Do.

The title and the cover - with an American football player with number 87 - drew my attention because LWYMMD is a song from Taylor Swift and 87 is Travis Kelce's football number. There were some Taylor Swift references and I wonder if the author edited these in since this book originally published in 2013 (Holding Out For A Hero). The easter eggs are fun but less than I thought when I requested the ARC on Netgalley.

LWYMMD is a spicy sports romance with a math teacher turned principal and a retired American football player. In order to keep the school from closing Ella sets up a football team in the hope this will keep her school open. Ella is able to get her old friend/one night stand/retired professional American football player Jake to coach the new team. 

I liked the tension between the two. However, I did not really swoon for Jake unfortunately. I did like Ella and the backstory with her mother and her brother.

Thank you to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Hope It All Works Out! is a collection of short comics surrounding Mouse, Turtle, Bird and Snail who have mostly sarcastic humorous conversations. 

I expected a more wholesome comic than sarcastic. However, I still snickered along. See my favourites below.
