Now that I'm mostly back, I have to admit I was expecting to see a lot more Game Changer and Heated Rivalry on here and I see none. Is it because everyone's read the series already and it's old news?
Neither the books nor the show are for me, so it's not a complaint. I'm just wondering.

#InDeathlongReadalong #IDLR Hot Rocks Ch.1-8: in this first book by Roberts, we dive into a world of cons and ex cons and families and hidden secrets and identities and love and shame. It‘s complicated.
so-soA sweet romance weighed down by a lot of heavy plot. I loved Samantha‘s animal-loving heart and Xavier‘s vet perspective, but the nonstop crises—dementia caregiving, family drama, career stress—start to overshadow their connection. Classic Jimenez themes, just turned up a little too high for me. Good romance, but not my favorite from her. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickDash is wandering the stacks in the Strand when he comes upon a red notebook. He opens it and reads, “I‘ve left some clues for you. If you want them, turn the page.” Lily, who is having a bummer of a Christmas, has left this notebook at the Strand in the hopes that her future soulmate will pick it up and play the game. The two teens pass messages and dates back and forth via the red notebook in a very grumpy/sunshine-holiday spirit kind of way.
panNot my cup of tea. Though Simone makes consent and agency crystal clear, the repetition broke the flow for me. Add in Tyler‘s constant rush to judgment, Poppy‘s questionable choices, and a few plot points that made me roll my eyes, and the story never fully clicked. I see why others love it, but it wasn‘t in my wheelhouse.
So my sisters and mom and I are all doing a book club this December. Picked a pretty hardcover Christmas romance. I‘m cackling though because it‘s spicier than expected. Hope mom loves it! 😊
