 I've only read a handful of books by this author at this point and while I did enjoy this one it isn't my favorite that I've read so far. This is a Goose Girl retelling. I'm not familiar with the original and I don't necessarily thank you need to be to get into this book. I loved the found family vibes. It took me a bit to really be sucked in but overall, it was enjoyable. Maybe not memorable but I'm glad I've read it. 

 I read the first book in this series last year for the Lost in Romance Book Club that I cohost with my friend Michelle and I'm glad we decided to read the 2nd book in the series this year. This is another single dad MM romance with hurt/comfort vibes. Once again, I thought the romance was super cute and I had this giddy feeling while reading it. It was a bit repetitive at times and we got the characters inner monologue way too much and some things that were said during sexy time was a bit cringe at times. I loved the characters though. Especially Miles' son Bubba. I do have to point out that both Miles and Bubba read younger than they actually were at times. Miles is 29 I believe, and Bubba is 11. Miles has anxiety and the first half of this he barely says a word to Trent. I loved the representation, and I thought it was done really well. I did have some issues with this book but the things I loved made up for the flaws and I really enjoyed it. 

 This is another reread for me and once again I'm just going to leave my original review here. I have read this book like 3 times now and I've never reviewed it. This is one of those classics that i am sure everyone and their mommas have heard of whether they've read the book or just watched one of the countless adaptations of it. I personally watched this long before reading the book so I knew what to expect going into it. I listened to the audiobook every time I've read it and enjoyed it so much. I love the overall message this book gives and thank it's executed very well. 

 This was a reread and I don't typically write another review for books I reread because I usually feel the same about it upon reread so I am just going to leave my original review here. I don't think I have ever read this before. Of course I've heard of it. This was a very quick and easy read and add in the illustrations it was a joy to read and one I will reread every year. 

 Destiny suggested this as a buddy read and I'm always down to buddy read with her no matter what it is. This isn't a book I would have picked up on my own but I'm glad I did read it because I ended up really liking it. This isn't for the faint of heart. This book was a lot. There's murder, rape, abortion really you name it this book probably has it, and the author wasn't afraid to get into the gruesome details. I didn't like how it switched back and forth between past in present or between characters with each chapter. It made it a little hard to stay in the story when you're trying to figure out what characters perspective we are getting. The present chapters were pretty fast paced but when it would switch to telling something that happened in the past it kind of slowed the progress down a little. I liked getting the past chapters, but I feel like they needed to be done differently somehow. Like I said this book was a lot and it was hard to read at times so be sure to check trigger warnings. I'm glad I read this one and I can totally see myself reading more by this author. 

This is just a DNF for now. 

 A friend of mine recommended this book to me to help me fulfil the "X" prompt in the a to z challenge. She told me ahead of time that she wasn't a fan of it, but I decided to go ahead and read it because it was a short quick read and that's what I needed. It's been a couple days since I've finished this and honestly, I don't have any words. I didn't realize this when I read it, but this is the 2nd book in a series but I'm pretty sure each one follows different couples. This was insta love to the max. I don't normally mind insta love but this was too insta love like to the point where it wasn't believable. It was also a bit repetitive. This kind of read like the author didn't know what she wanted the book to be and all of the aspects of just didn't completely work for me or come off as believable. This just was not for me. 

 I want to thank the author for providing me with an eARC in exchange for my honest review. This is the first book in the start of a new series by this author. We get fake dating, friends to lovers with some humor and a touch of spice. I thought this was a cute romcom. Both characters are flawed but I loved seeing their growth throughout the book. These characters had pretty good communication and it was leading me to believe there wouldn't be a third act breakup but there was. I would have preferred there not be the breakup, but it all worked in the end. I've read several books by this author at this point and have enjoyed them all and I'm looking forward to what some comes out with next. 

 I started this series last month and really enjoyed my time reading it and wanted to continue on with the series. I don't really have anything else to say about this volume that I didn't already say about the first one. I think the representation is on point. I'm a double amputee myself. I love the illustrations, and I will be continuing on with the next volume. I believe there are 5 in total. 

 This book was recommended to me to help me fulfill a prompt for the A-to-Z challenge I am doing this year. Is it just me or are Graphic Novels/Manga hard to review? Overall, I enjoyed this one. I like reading zombie books, and all of the ones I've read are pretty much somber, but this one is a fresh take on zombies. This one's more let's say upbeat (even though I don't think that's the right word to use but I can't think of the right one right now). This was a quick read with a great story and illustrations, and I liked the metaphor. My only complaint has to do with the illustrations. Why were a lot of the zombies naked? Like I get clothes rot off or whatever, but this was done in a sexy way and was just weird.
