I liked all of these? | APRC Supplementals #8

I actually enjoyed and would recommend all 5 of these books, and I think that’s the first time I can say that. However, I will mention that I am ill in this video (like I’d literally gone to urgent care the morning I filmed this) (I am fine) (mostly), so if I didn’t do a book justice or something doesn’t make sense, feel free to use the comments for further discussion!

Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur Review | Betwixt the Books Reviews

Wherein me and Michaela are a bit of a mess but manage to get it together enough to talk about this fake dating, queer, sapphic romance!

To Sir With Love by Lauren Layne | ARC Review

One of my FAVORITE authors has a new book out, and I couldn’t be more excited! Enjoy this fabulous You’ve Got Mail / enemies to lovers mash up with the sweetest story.

I’ve been in a slump lately, and Kate Clayborn is the only reason I’m out of it. I just read four of her books in a row because I am SO fascinated by her entire writing style and portfolio. Here’s why!

I wasn’t super sure what to do for content this week, but I’ve had a few sports-obsessed weeks so I figured I would share it with you! These are just some recent sports romance series and books that I’ve enjoyed. Have fun!

Do we need New Adult?| Betwixt the Books Discuss!

Wherein me and Michaela discuss whether New Adult as a genre should really be represented more in the mainstream and whether or not Young Adult has been skewing too Adult.

Neon Gods by Katee Robert ARC Review | Dark Hades and Persephone Retelling

I received this ARC from Edelweiss for free for my honest review. My thanks to the publisher! Hades and Persephone retellings are really big right now, and if you are looking for a retelling with some spice – look no further! Let’s talk about this super interesting take on the world.

Talk Bookish to Me by Kate Bromley | ARC Review

Talk Bookish to Me is a 2nd chance romance that does one of the most unique things I’ve seen in a while along with falling into one of my biggest pet peeve ruts. What a rollercoaster!

The Perfect Nine Book Review | Betwixt the Books Reviews

Wherein Michaela and I try to review this translated Epic Poem while having very little experience in the genre. Do we still talk for 20 minutes about what makes this book feminist or not, you know we do.

Supplemental #7 | American Presidents Reading Challenge

So, I’ll be honest, some of these are more tenuously connected to this challenge than others, but each one is important. There are some really good ones and some really meh ones. There are some new releases and some older stuff. I’m trying to cover literally everything here, apparently. Enjoy!
