I absolutely LOVED this book but what originally drew me in wasn‘t the blurb but the beautiful cover 😍 It took me some time to design my journal page but I‘m quite happy with how it turned out. All three flowers are mentioned in the book and in some way they originally connected Muireall and Niall with each other.

Oops, forgot to post about the release of this awesome novella and series starter 🙈

Really enjoyed this book and loved the characters!

This is about a totally different book and I‘m getting really annoyed that so many books aren‘t listed here 🙄
So… about this book:
I really enjoyed it, it had everything you could wish for in a sweet and clean romance - chemistry, connection, humor, a whole lot of drama, family bonds and lessons learned and of course a happy ending! 💜
Complete review will follow.

Suspenseful retelling of Hansel and Gretel with Pirates, redemption arcs and of course an added romance!

Release day for this faith filled portal fantasy, inspired by books like narnia and Alice in wonderland 🦊

#releaseday #redfairyandfox #portalfantasy #faithfilledfiction

So many books I loved recently, I thought it‘s time for another DNF and I seriously hated this one… extremely shallow and full of innuendo, I am so glad I never stumbled over YA books like this when I was a teenager myself…

#booklover #readingjournal #dnf #yaromancebooks

Happy release day for Betrothal or Breakaway, a best friends to lovers, single mom, marriage of convenience Hockey romance 🎉🏒💜
Loved it, review will follow!

Finally my review for Honeysuckle Breeze 🐝💜
Took me a while to finish my journal pages, but I love how it turned out, I think it is my favorite yet and the time I spent on this review reflects how much I loved the book and its strong faith messages that spoke to me on a very personal level.

* I received an eARC of this book.

#christianfictionreaders #faithfilledbooks #honeysucklebreeze #sweetromcom #christianromance #readingjournal

Godwin‘s books paint the cutest pictures in my mind, so I put a few of them on paper.
I read Southern Snow last month and just loved the characters, how they got together after many years and most of all the strong faith messages!

If you want to know why I drew all these random items - read the book! I wholeheartedly recommend it!!! ❄️🍑

March wrap up 📚🎧

#readingjournal #booklover #marchwrapup #readinmarch #cleanromance #christianfiction #faithfilledfiction

2 DNFs from last year. I was sad to give up the 1. but I just couldn‘t get into the story. The 2. annoyed me a lot…
Before my KU trial I only ever DNFed 1 book in my whole life🙈😅 But I read a lot through 3KU months & there were quite a few books that weren‘t a good fit. Finishing a book that upsets/bores me is a waste of time. Reading so many books with a time limit helped me not feeling guilty for it.
#dnf #yaromancebooks #highschoolromance

Yesterday was release day for Tested! I loved this Princess and the Pea retelling, it has such lovely characters and I actually learned a lot about myself through this book - I am way more shallow than I‘d like to admit. 🙈
This heroine though is not, Aine is a wonderful character and so is Rian. Absolutely recommend this book and can‘t wait for the next book in the series!

#fairytaleretelling #princessandthepearetelling #enchantedtalesoftir

Book 2 of the Grove Valley High was a surprise. It has great character growth and even though I felt sorry for Abby in book 1, I didn‘t expect to understand and even like her as much as I did!

#booklover #reading #readingjournal #journaling #bookreview #yaromancebooks #cleanyaromance #cleanromancenovels #thebackupgirlfriend

Release day for Haunted at Twilight, a Hansel and Gretel retelling and the seventh book of the Incandescent Kingdom series.

#releaseday #fairytaleretelling #hanselandgretelretelling

The standing boyfriend really got me hooked. Enjoyed it a lot as a YA fake dating romance.

#booklover #reading #readingjournal #journaling #bookreview #yaromancebooks #cleanyaromance #cleanromancenovels

A wonderful book for kids and grown ups which explains the meaning of the cross with simple language and expressive pictures. We love it and read it every year around Easter!

#funkelbuntekinderbücher #thegardenthecurtainandthecross #christianbooksforkids #raisingbookworms #talesthattellthetruth

This is about the prequel novella, not the book ‚the stand-in boyfriend‘ !
I really hated the mc of the novella, can‘t recommend it at all 🙈
Changed my rating from 3 to 2 ⭐️

#yaromance #readingjournal #novella

Again - not the correct book!
Loved this beauty and the beast retelling, absolutely recommend it!
* ARC review

#fairytaleretelling #readingjournal #beautyandthebeast

DNFed this one. Didn‘t feel comfortable with the setting…

#dnf #yaromance #dystopiannovel #readingjournal

This wonderful book released this week! I‘m very happy to have been on the ARC team 🤗🐝💜

#christianfiction #cleanromance #christianromance

This was not really the right book for me, but I still love Kasie West‘s writing, the narrator did a great job and I think it deserves 4 stars even if it wasn‘t a good fit for me personally.

#bookworm #readingjournal #audiobook #yaromance #cleanromance

Again - wrong book tagged because ‚protect me not‘ wasn‘t listed.
It‘s another DNF from last year. I just couldn‘t get into the story, I didn‘t like the MC and it seemed more Disney like than a real fairy tale retelling. Not my cup of tea. 🤷🏻‍♀️

#fairytaleretelling #beautyandthebeast #yaromance #cleanromance #readingjournal

Fiiiinally I have physical copies! I always wanted a set and these are so beautiful 😍
#janeausten #prideandprejudice #wordcloudclassics

My least favorite book by Kasie West because I pretty much hated the mmc and how he got away with his selfish behavior 😠 narrator did a great job, I usually enjoy Kasie west‘s writing and there were a few great side characters, but the ending left me pretty upset 🙈
#bookworm #readingjournal #audiobook #yaromance #cleanromance

Another great book releases today - a gentle Hope, book 2 of the hope ever after series and a beauty and the beast retelling 🌹
(I hate that I regularly have to select a completely different book so I can post something while the books I suggested still aren‘t listed here.., what is your experience with that?

Release day for book three: the treasure of rigmore house
Absolutely loved it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#fantasyromance #releaseday

This was a rather fun and very quick read (finished it in one day), but there were too many things that didn‘t really made sense for me to be more than 3 stars. 🤷🏻‍♀️

#booklover #reading #readingjournal #journaling #bookreview #yaromancebooks #cleanyaromance #cleanromancenovels

Sad to say I really didn‘t like this book and DNFed at 72%. Expected a clean and sweet book, like the 5 YA I‘ve read by the author. This was neither sweet nor clean but extremely shallow and full of foul language. :/

* I received an eARC of this book. This is my honest opinion and I leave a review voluntarily *

#bookreview #dnf #readingjournal

Sarah Sutton has a „sneak-peak-quel“ to her book „What are friends for“ if you subscribe to her newsletter and I actually liked it a bit more than the novel itself. 😄 I won‘t do reviews for bonus content anymore, but since this (and another one) were already in my reading journal I thought I‘d post it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

#booklover #reading #readingjournal #journaling #bookreview #yaromancebooks #cleanyaromance #cleanromancenovels

This is a cute YA romance that got me looking into Sarah Sutton‘s other books. This is not my favorite of her‘s but I liked it enough and some of her books turned out to be favorite reads for me in the YA genre.
#yaromance #cleanromance

This book is so good! Full of faith, suspense and the right amount of romance (at least for me)
Loved it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
(E-ARC, this is my honest opinion)
#christiansuspense #faithfilledbooks #booklover #bookreview #readingjournal

A few DNFs from last fall (star ratings are only for me). I got into YA romance because I thought they were all clean (🤪🙈). I still like the genre but I‘m so happy I discovered that there are so many more clean romance books than I originally thought. 🤗 These books are clean but not my thing for other reasons.
#booklover #readingjournal #dnf #yaromancebooks

Yesterday was release day for this awesome book. I really loved it, review will follow soon!
#christianfiction #christiansuspense #suspensenovel

Loved this prequel novella by Kendra Warden!
The first book in the series releases next week and you can get the novella through the author‘s newsletter. If you like #christiansuspense I highly recommend it!

This book was nice enough, but the timeline was a bit confusing and since this is an age gap romance with a fmc who fell first for the guy when she was a teen it bothered me not knowing when he started being interested in a girl/woman 20 years his junior…
3,5 ⭐️

Cover reveal for #honeysucklebreeze by B.R. Goodwin, a sweet Christian romcom and book 2 in the sugartree series.
#cleanromance #christianromance

Review in german, but in short - we love the book!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Meine Kinder und ich lieben dieses Buch über den kleinen braunen Vogel auf der Suche nach Gott!
#funkelbuntekinderbücher #kinderbücher #childrensbooks

1. I think Anne Elliot is my favorite, but I also love Lizzy and Elinor.
2. I can‘t decide. It‘s obviously one of Jane Austen‘s characters, but I love them all. Okay not all, but Mr. Darcy, Mr. Knightley, Captain Wentworth, Edward Ferras, Colonel Brandon - they all share 1. place 😬
3. Little women. I really like it, but I have to admit it‘s going slooow 🙈
Thanks for the tag @BeeCurious 😊

This is about the book ‚the anatomy of match making‘ by evie sterling, which released last week.
Neither the book nor the book are listed here. I know i can suggest a book, but none of the books I suggested weeks ago are listed yet… What is your experience with that?
I received an ARC of this book and it was a really funny, sweet and clean friends to lovers romance ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I might have written 10 pages about how much I love ‚wish you weren‘t here‘ so it will definitely not fit on Litsy 🤪
ARC Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is about ‚the shy girl and the jock next door‘ the last book of the Jackson high series, which is not listed on Litsy and I‘m actually not happy that I have - again - post a review under a different book title 🫤 Anyway, I was a bit bored with the series itself at this point, but I do think it‘s a cute, clean romance which dealt with heavy topics. I loved the characters, but it was a bit too short for my taste.

I have to say that I found this book rather boring … 🤷🏻‍♀️😬 but I wanted to finish the series so I didn‘t give up 🤪

The second book of the series was definitely my favorite!
