Dating You / Hating You | 
pickAfter showing up to a Halloween party dressed up as Hermione it quickly becomes apparent that Evie is the only single person there. Until Carter shows up dressed as Harry Potter. Their costumes aren't the only thing they have in common and it isn't long before they give in to their chemistry and begin dating. Things are going almost too well until the day their companies merge and they're pitted against each other for a position, winner takes all.
panFocuses too much on the Hollywood agents industry and awful office treatment. Lovers to enemies to lovers. Eh.
#AyUpAugust Rom/Com book edition 💕#IsThisLove Haven‘t read the book but I‘m pretty sure I know how it‘s going to end 🙄still looks light & fun!
My current audiobook 👨🦱👩🦰 ♥️ 🙅♀️🙅♂️ #mbcreadathon #mbcfrogsread6
pickSomewhere between a pick and a so-so. I do enjoy when the narrative switches between the two characters in a romance novel so that was a plus. It was fun but not a lot of depth.
Next up on #labsoundtrack - definitely needed a lighter read after all these heavy books.
pickCute and easy read. Middle-ground for these books - enjoyed the setting of talent agencies in LA, but there were some plot points that were a little far fetched.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickBut then I read Christina Lauren and all of a sudden I want to get back out there, get all dolled up and give a tub of Haagen Dasz another go (P.S. why is Haagen Dasz the universal crap post date destination? Did they run a marketing campaign? Shitty time? Ice cream sounds fine?)
*ahem* Back to my review! I sort of love that CL can make me smile and laugh enough to think all that wine soaked Haagen Dasz MIGHT be worth the effort!!#romantsy
pickYou know how everything works out beautifully at the end of a romance novel? I sort of hate that! The girl is always Bundschenly beautifully, the boy Channingly blessed. Meet cute, deal sealed, P.S. I love you, Mawwiage is what bwings us to gever to dae. Hate! Have these people not dated in real life? #romantsy
pickThis was cute! And just the fluff I needed this week!
Not had a good day. Early this morning my dog Koda was hit by a car and sadly didn‘t make it. 😓 Trying to read to distract myself and Christina Lauren seems to do a decent job.
Grateful for the time we had, we rescued him from an abusive home and he was a trouble maker but I love him and going to miss him! ❤️ positive thoughts and vibes appreciated ❣️(Still too fresh to browse and post pics)
so-soI liked the chemistry, I just found the pranks so childish and unprofessional and had trouble getting past that!
I hadn‘t placed a Book Outlet order in quite awhile but then today this happened 😂
pickI‘ve enjoyed Lauren‘s work previously and Dating You/Hating You doesn‘t disappoint. I really enjoyed how adult and solid the relationship between Evie and Carter becomes over the course of the two of them working together. It‘s an adult relationship, with a bit of fun and games thrown in.
pickLight and fun. Some of the pranks they played on each other in the “hating you” phase made me lol. #jesshowreads2018
pickThis audiobook was a ton of fun. I was a bit skeptical when I read the synopsis because it literally sounds like the plot (and title) was stolen from The Hating Game, which I adored. However, these books can live simultaneously, and if you liked one, you‘ll like the other. Great fluffy romances with a hint of women empowerment.
Next up from the tbr shelf is this - it‘s actually a signed copy too since I met the authors at Sarah MacLean‘s London meet up earlier this year!
A break from murder
pickThis was delightful! I'm still new to romance and figuring out what I like but I definitely liked this! The characters and the workplace story were great and I liked the 'lovers to enemies to lovers' better than enemies to lovers (if that makes sense).
Trying romance again. I'm hoping to find something I like. This one is very highly recommended by my bookish friends!

pickI‘ve seen this one suggested several times and it did not disappoint. I almost returned it to the library without reading it but I‘m so glad that I didn‘t. Perfect lazy Friday night read.
Plowing through Christina Lauren books like they are leftovers in the fridge that are about to expire!
so-soThis was an entertaining book. Cute on-again/off- again romance with some steamy scenes.
I tend to read this type of book to keep myself from entering a reading slump. I look forward to reading their other one, Roomies, later this year.

First of all, thank you so much for an incredible box of goodies, Anita! Such a varied book selection, I haven‘t read a Trixie Beldon for ages! Wallbanger might be slightly outside my comfort zone but it sounds hilarious. And not just a Disney valentines card but a Mickey Mouse Valentines Card 😍 #cupidgoespostal
pickA quick fun read - loved the development of the romance in this one.
I am in a serious reading slump guys. I was gifted this beautiful new kindle by my mother and I don't even want to use it. 😭😩😭😩😭😩
#justbingewatchinghartofdixie
It's a wild turkey invasion on today's audiowalk!
New audiobook! I love smart, funny contemporary romance, so this is right up my alley but the career competition aspect gives me low level anxiety. 😬 Still, so fun!
More #bookmail today. Thank you @Silent_Whispers 😊 I‘m looking forward to reading this!
I recently purchased this book from a group on Facebook & my daughter gifted me a copy for my birthday. Being that I now have two copies I'm going to give away one of them. I haven't read it but I hear it is a wonderful romantic comedy. If you enjoy this kind of read leave a comment and I'll randomly select someone at the end of this week. **not open internationally - sorry. US only**
I want to share with you all the amazing bookish gifts I received for today on my birthday. Those closest to me really feed by bookish obsession. Grateful for another year of life.
pickEnemies to lovers might be my favorite trope. Especially if there is lots of banter. Pride & Prejudice, Moonlighting, The Hating Game, Beautiful Bastard. This was a fun addition to the list. What's your favorite enemies to lovers story? #romantsy
“I think I‘m only now realizing how hard it must be to be a woman. Too thin or not thin enough. Do your job flawlessly, but don‘t show up any of the men. Speak up, but don‘t be bitchy. Smile. And then you have people like Brad totally playing into it.”
