items Books I actually finished and then wouldn't shut up about. Mostly romance, some romantasy, one memoir that snuck in because it's that good. If you want something you'll read in two sittings and text a friend about after, start here. Mix of this year'...
Greenlights" by Matthew McConaughey isn't your typical celebrity memoir — it's part life story, part philosophy, part scrapbook of journal entries from over 35 years. Funny, unexpectedly wise, and genuinely hard to put down. Great for anyone who want...
Greenlights | Barnes & Noble®
If you only read one summer romance this year, make it this one. Friends to lovers, a lake, a hero I did not expect to get this attached to. Fortune does yearning better than almost anyone and this is her most emotional book yet. I finished it in two...
Our Perfect Storm by Carley Fortune
Two writers show up in a little Georgia beach town both trying to land the same job: writing the memoir of a reclusive heiress who's been sitting on family secrets for decades. One's sunny, one's grumpy and has a Pulitzer. You know where it's going a...
Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry
Newest Kings of Sin book and the one everybody's talking about. Billionaire, spicy, bold. If you're already in the series, you don't need me to tell you. If you're not, this is the one to start with.
King of Gluttony (Kings of Sin, #6) by Ana Huang
Reality TV romance, and it's book one of a new series so you can jump right in. Silver writes banter that slowly stops being banter, and putting that inside a reality show is a cheat code. I read it in a day and I'm already annoyed I have to wait for...
Fever Dream (Emerald Lake, #1) by Elsie Silver
Not what I expected from Tessa Bailey. Time travel, a love triangle, this dystopian edge. But the chemistry is still 100% her. If you love her voice and want her doing something completely new, this is it.
Broken Rival by Tessa Bailey
Comfort read. Sports romance with a heroine you'll want to be friends with, tons of banter, found family everywhere. Low angst, high payoff. If the Windy City books worked for you, this will too.
In Her Own League by Liz Tomforde
The romantasy I keep pushing on people. Fia has spent her whole life hiding a power that could get her killed, and when it finally erupts, the general who should execute her recruits her instead. True enemies to lovers, slow burn, real political stak...
Riftborne (Esprithean Trilogy) - Books
Everyone's read it and there's a reason. Lily falls for a neurosurgeon who seems perfect, and then he isn't, and the book refuses to make that simple. Don't go in expecting a light romance. Go in expecting to feel something you'll want to talk about ...
It Ends with Us Series by Colleen Hoover
People We Meet on Vacation is a decade of best-friend trips and one that ruined everything. She writes people who talk like actual people, and I've never finished one without wanting to text someone about it.
People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry
Stella's an econometrician with Asperger's who decides she needs practice at relationships, so she hires an escort. It's reverse Pretty Woman and it's tender in a way that surprised me. Steamy, but the heart of it is two people learning to be seen.
The Kiss Quotient #1 - Helen Hoang
Brooding, dangerous Alex is asked to look after his best friend's sister, Ava, who's all sunshine. It goes exactly how you think and it's still addictive. This is the one that made Ana Huang huge and it's the right place to start with her.
Twisted Love: A Brother's Best Friend
Noah and Allie, a summer in the 1940s, a separation, and the letters she never got. You know how it ends and it still works. Short, sweet, and yes, sadder than the movie.
The Notebook (2004)
Book Lovers is a literary agent and a grumpy editor stuck in a small town, and it's the funniest.
