Book Outlet romance haul 😆
pickCute story, but nothing special. While I liked the characters, I thought the plot was predictable. 3.5🌟 #LetterK on my author #LitsyAtoZ2025 challenge. @texreader
pickBravo!! A HUGE 5 ⭐️! This book is everything I love about reading. I‘ve loved ice skating since I was a child and have big memories of the Harding/Kerrigan incident years ago. I also love Wuthering Heights, and this book really leans into its retelling. So much backstabbing, secrecy, and drama. So much competition. Such toxic relationships. So, so good! The audiobook is an absolute DREAM and I was thrilled to hear Johnny Weir narrate parts of it!
so-soWell-written and extremely scandalous, but not enough happened for me. Kat and Heath‘s relationship is endearing, but frustrating, and I would have liked a real answer to the final big scandal. I liked it, but didn‘t love it like most others.
pickLow pick. Because I did enjoy this for the most part while reading it. But it was all smut and no plot. I mean there was a lot of thoughts about god and bible quotes, but he was horny AF. I wouldn‘t have picked this up without the new #readingsmut podcast. I would read another book by this author but probably not another priest romance. I did like the difference of getting the male POV the whole time.
Next up! I hope i don‘t run out of time on my loan for this one! I didn‘t realize it was over 400 pages.
pickThe epilogue of The Favourites is a bit schmaltzy, but aside from that it‘s an excellent and gripping read (even for those of us who know absolutely nothing about ice skating or high-level competitive sport). Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/the-favourites-layne-fargo-review/
so-soDaisy Jones meets Tanya Harding in this Wuthering Heights retelling. We're hearing the story of ice dancers who become famous in interview snippets after the fact. Heath and Katarina have a toxic relationship and anyone who has read Wuthering Heights won't be surprised to hear that. It's incredibly entertaining on audio, but also exhausting as the characters are just horrible to each other.
pickWhat a juicy, gossipy, and thrilling ride! I loved stepping into the ice dancing world with all the intrigue, personalities, and drama. Complicated characters making passionate and often poor decisions in a wonderfully specific space and time made for a book that was really hard to put down. Released in January, I suspect we‘ll be hearing a lot about this one and oh how I‘d love to see it as a series :) So good!
