pickHonestly, Reid knows how to end a series by picking the right couple. Dan, alone, makes this book beyond enjoyable! His idioms, antics and use of the F-word are amazing. The narrator for him, was perfect. Cat and Dan, together, were even cuter. The only downside to this novel, is it felt cut off at the end. I think this is the only time I‘ve had this complaint, but it didn‘t take away from the overall enjoyment I had.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I‘m always sad to reach the end of a Reid series… but I have already started her newest Three Kings trilogy.🤣
Some favs by my favs. In no particular order.
The best thing about these authors is that none - NONE - of them - are “one hit wonders”. They all have a backlist, beyond the books I‘ve shown here, full of amazing books.
This is a Knitting in the City book, and the MC literally goes woolgathering when stressed, so I think it will do nicely for the Woolgathering prompt in my #fourfoursin21 #readingchallenge.

I didn't quite make it to the 24 hour mark! This has been a nice way to practice social distancing while also taking back some head space from all of this pandemic business. My readathon was made up entirely of romances. So much fluffy goodness has definitely lifted my spirits! I think I am much more prepared to head back into the fray tomorrow morning! Sleep well, my fellow 'thonners! And thanks for the virtual comradery!

Decided to get a little exercise and sunlight this afternoon. We took the doggos on the canyon walk behind our neighborhood. Outdoor social distancing for the win! #AudiobookWalk #DogsOfLitsy
pick5 🌟 Great Characters, Great chemistry, Wonderful Narration. Really enjoyed this series.

pickBittersweet to see the last of the Knitting in the City series. Kat and Dan the Security Man finally get hitched after years of misunderstandings, rescuing each other from their hang ups and demons. The rest of the gang make several appearances, like the close of a good sitcom. The issue of Dan‘s scalawag half brother is a tantalizing loose end. And maybe we‘ll hear tidbits about everyone in the Winston brothers series... #romantsy
1. Why Kill the Innocent by C S Harris is the first that comes to mind.
2. No spring break 😭
3. Today it is the iris that have started blooming
4. Chocolate Eggs.

pickJust noticed I haven't gushed about this yet.
I loved it. Yes, some problems were a bit far fetched or non-problems, but the interactions between the MCs and the wonderful cast of minor characters made it a great read.
This is me today, after reading all 422 pages of the eBook of Marriage of Inconvenience in one sitting last night, finishing up at about 1:30am. As with any Penny Reid book, I spent the first half of it thinking, "I'm definitely giving this one 5 stars on GoodReads!", and then it started drifting into 4 stars territory for me, & after that it was hard to decide on a rating
pickAnother wonderful read from Penny Reid. This is a slower burn for Reid, but for good reason. Her handling of sexual disfunction and mental illness is very well written and considerate. All of the characters of the series return! Even though technically these can be stand-alone reads, I recommend starting at the beginning of the series. #romanticcomedy #glorytotheguild
This book is so great, getting towards the end. It‘s a slow burn btw folks! #romanticcomedy #glorytotheguild
pickFunny, fast paced and steamy! Perfect read for my crazy work life right now. Reid's characters are always well written with a depth and humor that I really love.
Lunchtime reading even though I forgot my lunch! #currentread
pickI loved this book, I was so happy to be able to see this relationship finally get it‘s own story. I found Kat and Dan, sweet and believable.

pickIt‘s Penny Reid so it has to be a pick, but for me, it‘s with reservations. 😔 There were some truly laugh out loud moments, and that‘s what I love about Reid‘s work. However, there were sections that dragged and some of the drama just didn‘t sit right with me. Not my favorite of the series, but still good, and the issue may be my mood.
I definitely don‘t know everything about everything, but my understanding of polyamory is that‘s a committed relationship between multiple people... not hooking up, as this excerpt seems to imply.
Am I wrong on that? Or am I misinterpreting this passage?
You can‘t read Kat‘s book without honoring her love of cheese. 😉
As good as #bookmail is #bookmarkmail.
Epikpage (Etsy) included this wonderful sticker that just had to go onto my kindle cover.
I'm also showing you the body cream I bought at The Body Shop. Smells heavenly.
Started the tagged book on my way home. So buddy reads will have to wait until I can tear myself away from this.
Such a good book release day! Other reads on hold to enjoy my favorites!!! #romanticcomedy #glorytotheguild
Eek! Yay! I can‘t wait to start this tonight after work! 😍
It's here! It's here!
Guess everything else has to go to suspend.

You know that feeling when you list all the books you‘re #currentlyreading and your #MarchTBR of library books, ARCs, buddy reads, and pre-orders to create a #MarchLineUp and the ONLY thing you want to read is the book that hasn‘t released, yet? 😭😭 Sometimes being a #moodreader stinks.

Heads up, Penny Reid fans. An ebook short story collection prequel to her next book is available for free. 😃
I think some of the stories have been released in her previous newsletters, but two are brand new.
Just wanted to share the news! I‘m fairly certain you can get it wherever you usually get ebooks (and her website)
