Genre: RomCom, Contemporary Romance

My Review:
I have loved all the Bailey brother books and Alice Taylor is More Than a Princess did not disappoint. Alice was always one of my favorite characters. She was a child in all the books, but always spoke her mind. Not much has changed now that she is an adult 😂.
April was busy and went by so fast. I read 21 books in April, but several were 2-stars, and I had a record 4 DNFs so they won't be mentioned here. Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in reading my review.

My Review:
I have loved the Bailey Brother series, and I could not wait to read Cooper Bailey is a Cinnamon Roll. I was not disappointed.
Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books I DNFed for whatever reason. I feel like we had this topic recently, but it's not one that I care to do, so I am going to do round two of my spring TBR. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today.
Top Ten Books on my spring TBR round 2: (a mix of library books and books I own)
Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books that Include/Feature [insert your favorite theme or plot device here] (for example: unreliable narrators, coming of age, darkness vs. light, time travel, metafiction, a specific romantic trope, good vs. evil. cliffhangers, flashbacks, plot twists, red herrings, loose ends, stories within stories, meet cutes, symbolism, etc.) (submitted by Alice @ The Wallflower Digest) I really enjoy the Marriage of Convenience trope, so that is what I am going to share about today.

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: New-to-Me Authors I Discovered in 2024. I read 77 new-to-me-authors last year, so I will try to narrow it down to 10!

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: The Ten Most Recent Additions to My Book Collection (or to your to-read list!) I always share my recent book additions in the Sunday Post/Salon/Stacking the Shelves memes, so you can see latest books here. Today will focus on the ten most recent books I added to my want to read list on Goodreads.

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is another freebie. I was going to go with covers with Christmas lights on them, but since I found exactly zero, I decided I should head in a different direction. Then I decided to share my top Christmas reads, until I realized I did that last year. So, I am going super generic and will be sharing books with Christmas trees on them. Then I am going to list a few things I am thankful for. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today.

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic Covers with [Item] on the Cover (You choose the item! It can be anything at all.) I decided to go with characters with glasses on, but think I should have gone a different direction, LOL! It was hard! Not surprisingly, most of the ones I found were romcoms.

September was a blur. I don't really feel like I accomplished or did much. I read 18 books and DNF'd two, but I had more variety in reading this month!! Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in the review.

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books I Read/Avoided Because of the Hype (and did you make the right choice?) I tend to avoid books that are super hyped, for whatever reason that is a turn off to me. Sometimes I will end up reading a hyped book years later, but probably wouldn't have enough to make a list from. So, I am going to go with books that are great to read in the fall.

The sweater weather series are loosely tied together by their cozy fall romcom vibe and take place in the same town, Harvest Hollow.

My Review:
Can I just tell you how dumb I feel for not quite making an *obvious* connection? I realized that while Insta can mean an instant connection (or in the first book boyfriend) but it is most likely because Instagram plays a big part in the stories! It is so well done, but it took my brain a while to make the connection 😂😂😂.

My Review:
Iris is on her way to meet her cousin, when her car breaks down and strands her in the middle of nowhere. Dean happens to be driving by and offers to assist her. Iris grudgingly allows him to wait in his car while she calls for a tow truck, with her pepper spray handy.
Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books That Provide a Much-Needed Escape (bonus points if you tell us why!). I am of the mindset that ALL books (at least fiction) provide an escape, so I am tweaking the topic just a little bit to books I recently loved escaping into. In order to make the list, the books must have received 5-stars from me. And, since I have read a TON of romcoms recently...hopefully there is a little bit of variety in the list😂.

Top Ten Tuesday: books I recently loved escaping into (tweaked it even more so I am not using the same author or series):
August was a lighter month for me (work wise), but I still feel like it passed in a blur. I read 24 books, eight of which were audio books. I have been traveling around Ohio for the All Ohio Shop Hop, which is why I have so many books and audio books this month. It was unintentionally a RomCom month too, LOL! Once I started a book and it was good, I found myself bingeing the whole series! Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in the review.

My Review:
Another Bailey brother? Yes, please! I was shocked when I saw Miles Bailey Gets Down on One Knee. After bingeing the first two books in the series I knew Miles was not dating anyone.

My Review:
I didn't realize that the Bailey Brothers was a spin-off to The Insta Series by Jen Atkinson. I plan to go back and read them as it gives the background to Coco and the Bailey Brothers. However, Owen Bailey Needs Advice and the rest of the Another Bailey Brother series should be read in order.

My Review:
Levi Bailey Has Butterflies is the first book I have read by Jen Atkinson, but it will not be the last. The audiobook releases on the 27th, with narrators Rachel L. Jacobs and Oliver Clarke. It should be a fun read or listen :)
