so-soI read this in its original iteration and like that more? I also realized — and this is not exclusive to this book — that I hate when writers give their characters dialogue calling their love interest/partner “something” (“There‘s something more important to me than [job/event/other significant happening].”) rather than “someONE”. It‘s fun, trope-y, and a quick read.
bailedFrom the very beginning Trista is very clear that she does not want to be a mom. With the way things are going the only "happy ending" that I can see happening is them getting together & raising the baby together. And that makes me feel icky. I don't like the idea of her suddenly changing her perspective on motherhood just cause she gets to witness a loving family. I guess I should have realized what I was getting into with a surrogacy romance but
pickThis book was really similar to the first one in the series, with likable MCs and no smutty scenes, which I prefer. There were times that Ellie annoyed me, and I really wish we could have gotten Jake's POV, but overall this was a pleasant read. I'm mostly posting this because I don't like covers with real/real-looking people on them, so I created a new cover for this book and put it on myself. Slightly crooked, but I like it so much better than ⬇
I found myself in a Jackie Lau mood last night, so here I am with coffee, a taro bun, and the second Cider Bar Sisters romance. It feels like it‘ll be quick and fun, with lots of entertaining grumpiness and possibly some heartwrenching family stuff.
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

Listening to this on audiobook and it's been so cute but it's also starting to drag a bit.
pickI needed another book for a free space on my #bookspinBingo board and I have been needing romance books (I have actually listened to a bunch but they're not great & I don't count for my reading goals) this is a series of connected stand alone books that all revolve around weddings. If you like fake dating, childhood crushes, and don't mind a bit of miscommunication this was pretty good. I liked that no other ladies were trashed.
