Finished reading: Idol by Kristen Callihan 📚🎧

Finished reading: Tangled Up In You by Christina Lauren 📚

A super cute Tangled retelling!

Finished reading: A Tropical Rebel Gets the Duke by Adriana Herrera 📚

I love this book. Full review soon!

Finished reading: Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places by Colin Dickey 📚

A fascinating book about what our ghosts say about us.

Finished reading: An Island Princess Starts a Scandal by Adriana Herrera 📚

Another re-read. I basically cried through the last two chapters.

Finished reading: A Caribbean Heiress in Paris by Adriana Herrera 📚

This is a re-read. It’s a testament to Adriana Herrera’s work that even though it’s only six months since I originally read it, I found this riveting and didn’t want to skip or skim at all.

Finished reading: Firelight by Sophie Jordan 📚

Finished reading: Kiss the Girl by Zoraida Córdova 📚

This is such a perfect move of Disney’s The Little Mermaid to contemporary romance. There is so much perfection to be had here, such magic work taking movie moments and making them part of our world. If you’re an Ariel person, you should read it.

Finished reading: By the Book by Jasmine Guillory 📚

A sweet Beauty and the Beast retelling.

Finished reading: If the Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy 📚

Super cute modern Cinderella retelling.

Finished reading: Deep Blue (Survival Instincts, #0.5) by Adriana Anders 📚

Finished reading: Between the Devil and Desire by Lorraine Heath 📚

Finished reading: In Bed With the Devil by Lorraine Heath 📚

Lorraine Heath is great at her job.

Finished reading: Born In Ice by Nora Roberts 📚

This one made me a little weepy.

Finished reading: Oathbound by Tracy Deonn 📚

Ugh so good, Tracy Deonn is so wonderful and I hate that I have to wait a long time for the next book in the Legendborn Cycle and I also know writers need time to do their work. Probably will do a full series re-read ahead of the next.

Finished reading: Radiant Child: The Story of Young Artist Jean-Michel Basquiat by Javaka Steptoe 📚

A gorgeous picture book biography.

Finished reading: Born in Fire by Nora Roberts 📚

Technically I read this in the binding of the Irish Born trilogy that has all 3 books, but I’m giving myself credit for each individual book as I finish it. La Nora writes such a moving story.

Finished reading: Before She Was Harriet by Lesa Cline-Ransome 📚

Finished reading: Thank You, Omu! (Caldecott Honor Book) by Oge Mora 📚

A lovely picture book about generosity with super cool cut paper mixed media illustrations!

Finished reading: Shadow’s Heart by Kresley Cole 📚

Finished reading: What I Did For a Duke by Julie Anne Long 📚

Oh wow. I love both main characters in this one. The heroine is so tired of being seen as a reliable dog geyser person. The hero is deliberately prickly and mysterious. I love them.
