Another one I can‘t find in the catalog. It was not great. It starts on Halloween, on a ghost tour in a haunted college. They are “ghost hunters” and decide to stay after hours to search for ghosts. They end up getting spirits attached to them and they have to figure out what‘s going on.

Randomly picked this up on hoopla. Jeanie‘s aunt gifts her a coffee shop. Jeanie moves from Boston to a small town to run it after she found her boss dead on his desk. She figures out how to make friends, run a coffee shop and most likely fall in love. Grumpy sunshine romance.

Casket Case: A Novel | Lauren Evans
post image
Pickpick

An interesting romance book concept. Nora owns a casket shop in a small town in Alabama. Garrett stumbles into her store asking for directions. Nora is suspicious when he starts showing up at places people have died. It appears Garrett works for death. Nora can‘t accept his job. A lot of grief, death and funeral talk in this book.

Fall I Want | Lyra Parish
post image
Pickpick

Finished this one last night. It was spicier than I expected but it was still really good. A lot about healing and learning who you are and want to be. It‘s a bit magical realism with premonitions and dreams. Zane and Autumn meet in Cozy Creek and fall in love. They both have bad exes and baggage and have to work through it.

Ahh! I can‘t wait for the next book to come out. Bristol goes into the fae world to search for her father who she has believed is dead. There‘s some romance and steamy scenes. I loved this book. It was also great on audio.

Perfect way to start the spooky season. Clara rents a room in a Victorian house and it‘s possibly haunted. This is an omegaverse book, so of course 4 alphas are her roommates. This was a fun, spicy read.

I told you I‘m currently obsessed with Elsie Silver! This is the 1st book in this series. I wish I would have read it in July before I went to a rodeo, so I would know some of what was going on! Summer is working as Rhett‘s publicist/babysitter to keep him out of trouble, but they end up falling in love.

Low pick but probably because it‘s very different than all the other books I‘ve been reading lately. I picked it up because it was this month‘s pick for #swordandlaserpodcast.

It‘s a magical mystery series. A different type of magical system. Iz gets hired to solve a mystery and is put into a lot of peril. She works with her husband and there is a dragon in a magical world bag.

Not sure what drama is going on with this book or author, but Goodreads wouldn‘t let me rate it. I liked it. Some of the sex scenes were a bit much, but overall I liked all the characters and the story.

I might be a big fan of hockey romances now!

Laughterhp @mcctrish It‘s usually when they see a weird influx in reviews whether they‘re bad or good, they‘ll turn off the ability to rate them. This isn‘t the first time this has happened to me, but I don‘t remember what the other book was. 2w
TheBookHippie @mcctrish it kept happening to ladies in my bookstore book club. They say it‘s certain titles and subjects 😵‍💫 so they went to StoryGraph .. apparently people try to get books bad reviews on purpose- especially if the author is Black or Jewish and now it seems many titles for reasons they cannot figure out . Wild. So I‘m not sure but it all seems related to censure. Oy. 2w

Faranae Review bombing/boosting is definitely a thing. Sometimes it's because an author deserves to be bombed, sometimes it's just nonsense kicked up on TikTok, and then there's a whole contingent of people who routinely downrate their marginalised group of choice - queer authors, and especially trans authors, pretty much have to assume reviews will bury them in the algorithm. 2w

Loved this! Princess Melilot has gone on many adventures for her stepmother. When she gets ordered to marry a king, she goes off to his kingdom. She gets attacked on the way and is saved by 6 identical men, there are actually 12 and that story enfolds as you go on. I loved the way the story unfolded and all the characters.

I read this the day I received it from #botm. That doesn‘t happen very often.

Louisa finds out her boyfriend is cheating on her and they break up. She tells him she just wants their house. It‘s in Colorado. She loves the house and has the idea of making it into a B&B. The house is owned by Henry who is reluctant at first but ends up helping out a lot.

There is a lot of grief in this book and how to deal with loss.

So I couldn‘t find this book in the system. It‘s Stuck with my Pack by Nora Quinn. I don‘t know if it‘s self published or what, I randomly picked it up on KU.

This book has had quite a few typos and the flow/chapters are weird, but this might be the worst.

Suttle… subtle?

Please confirm suttle is not a word. 🤦‍♀️🫣🤦‍♀️

Ruthiella Oops! 🙊 1mo
Faranae Suttle is a word! My spelling correct catches it as not a modern word, but depending on what dictionaries someone has on their word processor, it might not. https://www.etymonline.com/word/suttle and https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/suttle 1mo
willaful It may be a word but it's definitely not the word the author intended.

Finished in August. This is the 2nd book in the series. The 2 MCs met in the 1st book and they referenced their time together a lot. I didn‘t read the 1st book and did feel like I missed some of their history. However, it did still work as a standalone. Though I am interested to read the next book!

I randomly saw this book came out recently and picked it up on KU. I really liked it but not really any smut until the end and just minor. 3 different POVs. Jory is supposed to be marrying to save her kingdom. Asher is an assassin and is hired to kill Jory and Maddox. There is a lot of journeying in this book and building trust. I need the next book now!

This book gave me so much anxiety! All Ember does is lie. She just does things without really thinking it through. I read about 80% and had to take a break because she did this thing that I knew was going to bite her in the butt. Finished it up and am glad I did. It was a nice lesson for her to learn but still.

I‘ve had this on my TBR for so long! I‘m glad I finally picked it up. A storm singer gets caught and sold to a pirate. It‘s then an adventure of different pirates on the high-sea. Mary doesn‘t know who to trust, but is hoping a certain pirate will help her find her mom. This appears to be a trilogy. I like the way it ended, so I will most likely continue and all the books are out!
