pickThis was a cute friends-to-lovers Christmas romance. Will and Abbie have both been harboring feelings for the other for years but finally Will is going to do something about it. I liked both characters but wished they were more honest from the start, it was a little frustrating watching them both hide their feelings, worrying they would scare the other one off. I loved the quirky grandma and her cats 🐈
so-soI usually love a friend to lovers books, but I got a little frustrated with the dynamic between Jasmine and Rahul and how long it took in their friendship before they really communicated.

This book can be used in the classroom to teach about civil rights, equality, and empathy, linking historical events to themes of fairness and kindness. It could prompt discussions about social justice, family diversity, and how laws shape lives, encouraging students to reflect on their own values and communities.
pickThe Case for Loving (2015) is a picture book in the biography and history genre that won the Jane Addams Children's Book Award. This story tells the true tale of Richard and Mildred Loving, a couple who fought against laws prohibiting interracial marriage, eventually leading to the landmark 1967 Supreme Court decision that made such laws unconstitutional.
pickI love a Talia Hibbert romance, and while this one got a little more intense than some of her stories, it was still a lovely ride. Longtime friends wind up rooming together after Jasmine's apartment is flooded, but her aversion to romantic entanglement complicates the growing chemistry between them.
