pickAs a fan of Alexis Hall's work I was curious about his Sci-Fi debut. Hell's Heart is a typical Alexis Hall novel (funny, sarcastic, surprisingly deep when you least expect it), but it is also closer to his Steampunk novels than his contemporary or historical romances. Also, it is not a romance.

so-soPurrfect Pop Star is a K-drama in book form; a funny, low stakes, magical realism romance story that sets up the Spotlight&Stars series by Arisa May.
Yuna adopts a stray cat that is actually K-pop star Min-ho who's been cursed by a fan. Subsequently the two of them need to spend a lot of time together to work out how to break the curse before Min-ho turns into a cat for good.
A quick and easy read that will leave you with a smile on your face.
panThis had a strong start. After a breakup Rae wants to explore the kinky side of life and joins a dom/sub club. She has an interesting experience on her first night there, only to be confronted with her Dom, a company consultant named Grant, when she gets to the office on Monday. What follows is a dom/sub spiced The Hating Game with predictable plot, including the third act break-up.

so-soI liked the dual timeline/flashbacks, but I didn't like the characters. They didn't read like in their late twenties or early thirties. The plot, in my opinion, was predictable.

pickI've seen the drama and read the first volume of the manhwa so I was interested to see what the novel would be like.
The two characters have very unique voices which made it easy to identify with the shifting POV.
It was fun to see their different interpretations on things and their thought processes. It added a lot of depth to the characters and their interactions.

pickNo one is expecting Nancy to return to Eleanor‘s School. But ghosts are killing the living statutes of the Halls of the Dead. & Nancy needs all the help she can get.
Love the return of Nancy! The story got to acknowledge how hurtful her leaving had been, showed friends reconnecting after a long time apart, gave us insights into 2 new worlds! I was frustrated by who the villain turned out to be, otherwise a solid entry into this series!🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
Just got this #NetGalley #ARC for this #April2026 #RandomHouse release! Seems right down my alley!
After surviving a stage-four cancer diagnosis, Kate Bowler knew she was supposed to be grateful. But still she ached for more connection, more surprise, less resentment on an ordinary day.
So she went looking for joy that sneaks in unexpectedly: A lemur sunbathing. A belly laugh at a funeral. A dive into the Atlantic with a shark wrangler.
Lots of "sperm" jokes.
Not as boring as Moby Dick, but those 400+pp are filled with tangents and self-deprecation and horniness and Q talking in Latin.
It's very Alexis Hall by way of Melville. 8h
