Is there anything better than ... a pre-order you forgot about showing up in your kindle 🥳

This! ⇧

Same! 😊

You're most definitely welcome to read on with the series at your leisure. We're only slated to read/discuss this one. Feel free to share your thoughts on the rest of the series here, if you'd like. I'm sure others would be interested in sharing their thoughts w/ya, too.

Thanks 😊

👍🏼😊

Smart ... it's like we've fallen into the upside down 🙄

I pulled some recs and posted here —> https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I’d love to know if you read & like any🤞🏼hoping for at least 1 gem in there 😊

“See, I'm not much for PNR. If it is REALLY well written and/or not really romantasy, I'm good. Like that first Rebecca Yarros dragon thing Fourth Wing. I was surprised it was romantasy according to GR. It didn't really seem YA, either.

And IA's Burn for Me et seq. PNR??? I think not. Nor Written in Red. (what a great book)

But if it's all the internal monologue about "oh, he's too good for me" and descriptions of him and eventual sex scenes and stuff, I'm bored.

Series and individual book suggestions would be welcome. I like me a little bit of romance, but not a book centered on romance.” (Pulled from https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...)

Kateblue, I’ve quickly grabbed some suggestions for ya. Don’t have time to break them down, sorry.

This is an old series that’s still running about an FBI unit w/psychics: https://www.goodreads.com/series/5252...

By hype I meant those you see everyone reading and raving about, a book that seems to be everywhere at once/pushed on seller and rec sites, etc.

I typically avoid a book by an unknown author when I see it blasted everywhere. The rare times I haven’t, I’ve gone in with my hopes too high and been disappointed. Instead I’ve waited a year or more to see if the enthusiasm around it has remained and may check it out then.

I think Sandra reads Jayne Ann Krenz‘ books. Maybe hit her up if she doesn’t see these recent posts.

👍🏼 I’ll try to find some suggestions for ya

CassieCruel, that sucks! I don’t think I’ve had that issue yet.

Agree, Victoria, I wish there was a way to stop getting recs for certain KU books.

Sandra & I love that series. It’s completed and one we’d definitely recommend.

Sandra wrote: "I'll let you know what happens, without the guff :)"

That’d be great 😊

My bad 😊 that would be sweet! And very much yes to the remembering!

WTG!
