    Are there any authors that you like to always have Are there any authors that you like to always have the option of reading a new book from so you put off one of their books until they have a new one coming out? Kind of like an emotional support TBR book? I finally feel okay reading the last Karen M. McManus book on my TBR since Such Charming Liars comes out at the end of July! As predicted, Two Can Keep a Secret is delivering on every front. I love small town murder mysteries where a killer from the past resurfaces, and this one takes place around homecoming weekend! Since I seem unable to put this book down, I should be finding out how things will wrap up for Ellery, Malcom and Ezra after work this evening!

    I’m really looking forward to finishing You With I’m really looking forward to finishing You With a View on my train ride home tonight! If you like stories with a travel element, this sweet road trip romance will capture your heart! It’s already made me cry numerous times, and I especially love the heart behind it all. It captures feelings of failing / imposter syndrome so well, and the longing you only truly know when you’ve lost someone close to you. But all that emotion is balanced out perfectly by the shenanigans that can only occur when our main character Noelle ends up on a two week road trip with her high school enemy and his grandfather 🩷 I can’t wait to read Jessica’s next book!

    Finished reading The Breakup Tour earlier this wee Finished reading The Breakup Tour earlier this week and this one is for the Swifties! While it wasn’t a new favorite for me, I did really enjoy highlighting all of the Taylor Swift Easter eggs (there were even a couple that worked for TTPD despite the book coming out first!).
Thanks @berkleyromance for the free copy!

    June TBR books (but I already finished Rachel Pric June TBR books (but I already finished Rachel Price ☺️). My beach reading always tends to be romance heavy and this stack contains some of my most anticipated romances of the year! What are you planning on reading this month?
Thank you @berkleyromance for the copies of The Breakup Tour, Not in Love and A Novel Love Story! 
Thank you @getunderlined for the copy of Rachel Price!
    Holly Jackson never disappoints! 🔪🎞️🎬🩸 I inhaled The Reappearance of Rachel Price (literally could not put it down this morning until I knew how it would all end). I’m really hoping Netflix will adapt this book in addition to their already planned Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series because it would be perfect to watch come alive on screen. If you’re in need of a beach read thriller this summer, I cannot recommend Rachel Price enough!
