Just a bit late for the #Romancelandia #TBRChallenge ! I listened to Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez and loved it. It's character and romance driven rather than trope and sex driven, so very much my cup of tea.

I am a weak, weak person: dangle a librarian protagonist, and a would-be protagonist in a historical romance who is not a duke/marquis/earl/viscount somewhere near me, and I’ll jump on that b…

I have been trying to complete @SuperWendy's #TBRChallenge since 2012 (though not every year) with rather pitiful results. If you want to see how I did, I ended up writing a compilation post

My #TBRChallenge read was Dauntless, a gay romance with some mystery set on a very isolated Australian island. Bonus Simpsons overtones. 😂

It's #TBRChallenge Day and this month's theme is Fool's Errand. Y'all, I read a Thea Devine book. More seedy sex scenes than I could count, a magical thinking heroine and total soapy trash.
