so-soAdmittedly, I am not the biggest fan of second chance romances, but I think I would have struggled with this one even if it wasn‘t that trope. I found both Pearl and Cord to be underdeveloped characters and never fully understood their attraction to each other (outside of lust).

pickDragon exterminator Robert, Princess Cerisse, and Prince Reginald find their worlds colliding when there‘s a new threat of magically bred dragons on the horizon.
I‘m so glad I read The Last Unicorn recently. Beagle has such a talent for lyrical writing that feels like a fairy tale. For all the briefness, we get character growth, adventure, fun side characters, a little romance, & a glimpse into a lush & fascinating world! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
pickThis novel is all about ambition and power – what would you do to get it and what would it cost you – were very central to the plot and character motivations.

pickPerigee, in an effort to fix everything for their father, arranges for the two of them to get invited back to the Puzzle House built by their grandparents. But nothing is what it seems & the house has ideas of its own.
I ended up reading this whole story to my nibling in a week. & both of us were thoroughly charmed. The relationship between Perigee & their father was so sweet and full of love. The descriptions were so lush & whimsical. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
pickThis is really cute. In a way, it's a bit fluffier than the first. But it's still funny.

J.D. Barker is one of my all-time favorite authors. His books are always a wild intense ride. I can always expect to be grabbed at the first page, and not let go of until the end.
This one was good, but different from his others. It was a spicy read, which you usually don't get from Barker. It was, also, scary because it dealt with an app and how apps, or I guess I should say phones and computers, can start controlling our lives. ⬇️
pickIt takes awhile for this novella to find its stride. The first few chapters are a bit awkwardly paced and there is a lot of information thrown at the reader. After chapter 3 it improves dramatically.

pickA thorough explanation of everything you never knew you needed to know about gynecological health.
Wow! There‘s a part of me that‘s embarrassed about everything I didn‘t know in this book, but more of me is angry. For most of my life I thought debilitating pain & long heavy periods was all normal. It was nearly 20 years with a period before a doctor took me seriously.
I should have known better. I should have been taught better. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
pickThis is a very low conflict manga about first love. It's a good blend of humour and sweetness.
The artwork is lovely and really fits the vibe. I would definitely recommend it as an easy, happy read
Thanks to #netgalley for the #ARC
so-soI have mixed feelings about this book. I found the mix of humour and information very unbalanced for much of the book, it seemed to fine a good balance about half way through and I enjoyed the second half of the book much more than the first.
