Stopped by the new romance novel themed bookstore The Ripped Bodice which just opened here in Brooklyn and it‘s 💖✨gorgeous✨💖
Romances aren‘t typically my thing but the vibe was so pro feminist and warm and cute. Picked up 3 titles including the tagged one. 😅💚🫶🏻
My Christmas read is Mia Vincy's new novella.
Wishing you all Happy Holidays!
pickThis one is a mixed bag for ppl, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. This one really shows that Reid can write real people, with real trauma and anxieties and disorders. And that‘s important, because ppl need to see themselves represented in books, and HEAs. It‘s not all about the wham-bam. The slow burn build up to the MCs discovering themselves is just as important.
Plus, Stardew Valley.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Not that I really need to be sold on a Reid book, but when the MC mentions a Stardew Valley and chill day with her friends?? I squeed, because guess what my fave thing to do while listening to an audiobook is?? 🤣
It‘s been a hot minute since my last Reid… read. Next up for #currentlylistening!
Reading the new Penny Reid! And it's a standalone. #romantsy #romance
On my hook : Winter Garden Beanie in Rowan Felted Tweed. #litsycrafters
bailedI only checked this book out because the cover model reminded me of an actor I like so...
It wasn‘t bad but it was just too slow for me. I also found both main characters to be a little boring. Probably more me than the book to be fair.
