Kate Healey has not disappointed me yet! Her Olympus, Inc series is an insta-buy for me. Greek mythology inspired modern-day romances set in and around an imaginary magazine publishing company. Love, Laodice is the second book in the second three-book arc, after Ask Cassandra and before XO, Xena (can't wait!)

It's a romantic suspense , rivals-to-lovers, fake-dating story. [...]

#WickedWords @AsYouWish

Lauredhel Laodice and Telfer from the Bridal magazine team up as an engaged couple to report on a retreat for engaged couples. Things seem a bit fishy from the start, and as they dig deeper and deeper quite a few shenanigans ensue (includes peril and death, though not of a MC). Steamy sex scenes, but not so many that you get bored with it.

The world connects with Cassandra's story, and Cassandra/Laodice/Xena are of course sisters.

Clare-Dragonfly Oh! This sounds interesting and I loved some of Karen Healey‘s books. I might have to give this series a try. (edited) 12h

Lauredhel @Clare-Dragonfly Enjoy! The first one is Persephone in Bloom 10h

The Ultimate Reading Challenge: Complete a Goal, Open an Envelope, and Reveal Your Bookish Prize! | Weldon Owen

Help a Litten out! I'm wanting to get back into reading challenges this year but I'm having a hard time figuring out what Litsy is hosting these days. It looks like a few I used to do aren't active anymore. Are there any I should know about? (I'm planning to do #bookspin with @TheAromaofBooks and #agathachristieclubR3 with @Librarybelle, of course!)

Picture of my dog's dumb teeth for tax!

TheAromaofBooks I'm participating in - #Pantone2025 and #FourFoursin25 with @lauredhel
- #WickedWords with @AsYouWish
- #Roll100 and #GottaCatchEmAll with @PuddleJumper
- #FictionalTraveler and #ReadorDonate with @julieclair
and my own other challenges, #ISpyBingo and #BookChain

Have you checked @LitsyEvents ? That account does a great job reposting all kinds of shenanigans!! 1d

Ruthiella You can follow @LitsyEvents for reposts of all the challenges, etc. Good luck! 😃 1d

AmyG There is #authoramonth @soubhiville where one reads 1+ books from that specific author for the month. #TBRTarot is where a card is chosen and you pick a corresponding book. #readyourkindle is like Bookspin but just for ereaders. Last two are with @Cbee (edited) 1d

The Silkworm | Robert Galbraith

pick

Bk1 of #JumpStart2025 & January is done! Bk2 of the Strike series, it‘s honestly one of the goriest murders I‘ve ever read. And I‘ve read a LOT. The author has definitely proved they can write well in two completely different genres! And is able to spring a surprise murderer on you at the end. #FourFoursIn25 #RobinBobbin #ISpyBingo #FictionalTraveler #Read2025 #WickedWords #Rage #SeriesLove2025 #BookspinBingo #BookChain2025 #TBRTarot #ReadYourKobo

Weirdo | Tony Weaver, Jr.

This is a good graphic memoir about a nerd in middle school. Weaver takes us through his bullying, mental health, and found-familiy journey with sensitivity and humour.

First Wicked Word of the year!
