galentines or valentines?
For when you’re in the mood for something soft, flirty, or a little bit heart-melting.
I struggle a lot ro find books for valentine’s day that are pretty good so this one was an absolute surprise when i read it !! I still think there might be better ones out there but this one is good.
Brooklyn Cupid: A Hidden Identity Roommate Romance by Lexi Ray ...
such a cute and heartwarming book, i wanted to read it with my book club but it didn't get picked :'( so i read it one my own and it was really really cute to read. It's not a dual POV like i'm used to but i loved it even if it wasn't.
Picking Daisies on Sundays by Liana Cincotti | eBook
i know… i know… you've seen it thousands and thousands of times, but that might be because it's nice and sweet ? :D Seriously, it's one of the cutest high school books i've read.
Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter, Paperback
one of the most emotional book ever… i made a guy friend read it, he's still crying over it and bought it for himself XD. Other than that, the story was fluid and kept me going.
A Thousand Boy Kisses by Tillie Cole, Paperback
it was a rough start since i wanted to annotate my copy of the book for my book club, but i got there eventually and it's one of the romance i didn't think i'll like… guess i was wrong! the setting is incredible and the characters are easily apprecia...
Love at First Book by Jenn McKinlay, Paperback
summertime 🌞👙
Sunshine, late nights, and that feeling that anything could happen. These are your golden-hour romances : beach reads, summer flings
one of my best reads, i cried during this book but i wouldn’t have it any other way… I really loved this book because of the emotional roller coaster, so much i recommend it every time someone asks me for recommendations to read 🤣. If you don't want...
Say You Swear by Meagan Brandy, Paperback
this book is one of my favorite five stars of the summer. I loved the story and the characters and i just couldn’t put the book down, so i finished it in a day 😅😅.
The Wrong Mr. Right by Stephanie Archer, Paperback
i had trouble with starting the book as it's pretty slow at the beginning and not a dual POV, but around the middle, i started to enjoy it more and more until i couldn't stop before finishing the story. Another young adult book that has made my list ...
Love & Gelato|Paperback - Jenna Evans Welch
Six Summers was one of those reads you started because of the hype, and see exactly why it has hype. I loved reading it during this summer by the beach!!
Six Summers to Fall by C W Farnsworth, Paperback
i read that a long long time ago, but i remember having fun reading it and liking it a lot. Mostly because the story is like one of the 90's romcom, so it was really enjoyable.
The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren, Paperback
i read that this summer and i'm not going to lie, i don't remember the story well ahah. But i do remember that i liked it and may have talked about it with a friend.
Summer in the City (B&N Exclusive Edition) by Alex Aster, Hardcover
Spooky season (halloween)
For cozy nights, dark academia moods, and a little mystery mixed with the romance. Think witches, haunted small towns, and love stories with just the right amount of tension (and maybe a ghost or two 👀).
One of my first read of the season. I loved the story as it kept me wanting for more each time i had to put down the book! It’s in an academy, with fake dating and fated mates, for the halloween side, nothing too frightening just surnatural beings !
Just One Bite by S.L. Cokeley
i found this book on tiktok and i’m not going to lie, i was a little skeptical when i saw the cover. BUT, i’m glad i got over it because the story was addictive! i’m not big on non dual POVs but this one is amazing! It might be one of my favorites fo...
House of Hearts by Skyla Arndt
I loved The Pumpkin Spice Café because it’s warm, charming. I was wary because i know from experience that books too hyped can really be disappointing but it wasn't the case. I started reading it because i wanted to read the second so it was a slow s...
The Pumpkin Spice Café (Dream Harbor, Book 1) by Laurie Gilmore, Paperback
i loved this book when i read it !! The story was cute and kept me on my toes throughout the whole book!! I haven’t read the second one but OMG i can’t wait.
Nightshade: Sorrowsong University Book 1 by Autumn Woods, Paperback
i loved the first book but was kind of disappointed with the second. This is the first book of the dual series, i think it was one of the best book i've read (in my favs ahah) since a while. BEWARE, it IS a dark romance so it might have some disturbi...
Limerence: A Dark Romance by Hc Dolores, Paperback
Last Christmas 🎄
The kind of romances that feel like wrapping yourself in a blanket and watching snow fall outside.
I LOVED this book, i reread it every year at this time of year! The best friends to lover is TO DIE FOR. Lovelight Farms is the perfect holiday rom-com.
Lovelight Farms (Lovelight, #1) by B.K. Borison
I absolutely loved the sunshine twist on Christmas and the fun chemistry between the mc !! Ideal for anyone who wants a feel-good, slightly spicy festive read.
Christmas in Coconut Creek by Karissa Kinword, Paperback
I forgot about it until i saw it in my goodreads account and i reread it just to remember and OMG i forgot how good this book was!! The yearn, the friends to lovers! UGH AMAZING
Eight Weeks by Joelina Falk, Paperback
I loved this book as well, i recommended it to a friend last year as well and she went right through it 🤣. It was a small read but still, she read it pretty fast and so did i seeing how addictive the story was.
