Tangled is my favorite Disney movie and I really enjoyed this modern retelling! There is a lot of character growth in the MCs, and I was charmed the entire time. I‘m also a big fan of writing duo Christina Lauren, so I guess I‘m doubly biased! This is the 2nd book in the series that I‘ve read, and definitely want to read the others.

So enjoyable! The author, a lifetime lover of animals, shares essays (most previously published in The New Yorker) about all kinds of animals. From tigers, killer whales, donkeys, rabbits, and of course, cats and dogs, all the essays are pretty wonderful! Would recommend to any animal lover.

My April #bookspinbingo card is all ready to go! 🌸

So excited for my #bookspin and #doublespin this month! 🌸

March was a great reading month…ended up with 3 bingos! ☘️

Here‘s my #bookspinbingo list for April! 🌸

This cover is too cute! It‘s my pick for #thematiccozies for April.

I‘ve enjoyed this author‘s other books, so I‘m making it my #readordonate pick for April, just for the extra motivation to finally read it. 😂

This is my pick for April for #fictionaltraveler! The cover is gorgeous!

So good! I was hooked from the beginning!

I really enjoy this series! I‘ve been reading it out of order…this is book 1. 😂

This was enjoyable! I rooted for both R and Julie the whole time. A quick listen too!

OMG…the ending! Book 3 should be a good one!

This was really cute, and I liked both MCs, but I never got fully invested in their romance. I loved the Irish setting and would so hang out at Kelly‘s Pub!

Oh my goodness, this was soooo good! Haymitch‘s backstory is great, but it‘s so heartbreaking, and I‘m emotionally wrecked. I loved all the connections made to other characters in the series and thought they totally worked. Just a fabulous read and a great addition to the series!

#pop25 - a highly anticipated read of 2025

A retelling of Hamlet told from the POV of an unborn baby. A bit odd but also pretty good!

I‘m not sure how I feel about this book…I mean, I liked it but something about it also grated on me but I can‘t say exactly what. I kept going back and forth between liking the MC and not liking her. A low pick!

#pop25 - book that features a character going through menopause

Went to see Elle Cosimano tonight at my local indie bookstore with @MallenNC … Elle was very funny! She had some good stories. Can‘t wait to read this one!

Whoa, what a wild ride! It got so twisty near the end and the final one was awesome!

#pop25 - book that fills my favorite prompt from the 2015 PS Reading Challenge

Loved every minute of this! It is a romance, but it‘s also about grief and coping and finding yourself again. ☘️

Happy St. Patrick‘s Day to those celebrating! ☘️☘️☘️

I‘m trying to decide which Irish book to read today…I have several 🤪

I‘m totally not reading these in order, and this one is the 3rd in the series, where the MC Siobhán O‘Sullivan has gone from bistro owner to her first day as a garda. She immediately gets entangled in the investigation of a murdered American who was in Ireland researching his genealogy. Very enjoyable and I didn‘t guess the killer - love this series!

#serieslove2025

I read the other 2 books in this series last year, both were enjoyable, as was this one. Each of the books focuses on one of the Murphy brothers, who after the death of their father, are left the family business, an Irish pub empire. But their father stipulates in his will that each brother will have to marry within a year, or else lose the business.

#bookspinbingo - this is my #doublespin for this month

A low pick for me. This was really cute, and I did like the two MCs (the FMC did get on my nerves some), but this could have been shorter. I enjoyed it but didn‘t totally love it.

Such a great read! It was on my TBR forever and I‘m so glad I finally got to it, and a little mad at myself for waiting so long to read it.

#pop25 - a book that is considered healing fiction

This was unputdownable for me! The whole time I questioned every character (they were all pretty sketchy) and whether or not they were telling the truth. But as the title suggests, this is a story about a mother and daughter, and the strength of that bond.

#fictionaltraveler - big city

Lucy arrives in Oxford for a visit with her beloved grandmother, only to find that the old woman has died and left her knitting shop to her. But Lucy knows nothing about running a business and can‘t knit! Within a few days, she learns that there‘s a vampire knitting club at the shop, her grandmother didn‘t die of natural causes, a family secret, and she‘s now in danger. Really enjoyed this one!

I enjoyed this installment of the series. Jules and Josh are good counterparts, and I do love an enemies-to-lovers story!

This is my #readordonate pick for this month!

Only got one bingo in February, but it was a good reading month overall!

This is my pick for March for #thematiccozies, and I‘m really looking forward to it! 🧶

I didn‘t get to this book this month, so into the DONATE pile it goes.

I liked this one even more than the first book! A forbidden romance between a princess and her bodyguard-it had a really good storyline and plenty of spice!

I‘m not much of a fantasy/romantasy girl, but I did enjoy this! With all the hype surrounding this series, I‘m glad I finally read it because I was so curious about all the hype. I think it lived up to it! Great world-building, plenty of tension, and some spice! I‘d definitely be up to continuing the series.
