Hey lovely people of Goodreads! ☕📖

I'm so excited to invite you to discover my book: "Café y nuevos comienzos" (Coffee and New Beginnings)! ✨

This is a story that wraps around you like a warm cup on a cold morning. Join Clara on her unexpected journey after her life takes a 180-degree turn. Amidst challenges, laughter, and an unexpected spark with an enigmatic CEO, "Café y nuevos comienzos" will remind you that sometimes, a broken heart can open the door to a completely new destiny. ❤️

If you enjoy second chances, romances that make you sigh, and characters that steal a smile, I sincerely hope you'll give this story a chance! 😊

Ready for a good coffee and a new literary beginning? I look forward to hearing what you think in the comments! 👇

The full five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for A Beautiful Family by Jennifer Trevelyan. an exquisite and nostalgic blend of mystery, suspense and family dynamics. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Christopher]

Glory’s Key.

If you love romance that’s layered with trauma, healing, and second chances, this one might hit you right in the heart. It’s set in the Florida Keys and follows a young woman escaping an abusive relationship who ends up at a dive resort run by a grieving, broody instructor.

It’s got that slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers tension, a strong found-family vibe, and even a touch of something… otherworldly.

Beware though, the cliffhanger is killer, so do not read this if cliffhangers aren't your jam.

Hi, Angela. Regarding "fictional historical romance," my novel is a classic literary fiction novel, involving romance as part of the storyline with history in the background, circa 1890 to 1970, including five generations of family lineage. It is not a historical fiction because history does not control the story. It is not a fictional romance because romance does not dominate the story. I believe you would enjoy reading it because it is highly rated by readers and it includes adventure, mystery, intrigue, and much more, in addition to romance and history. https://fultonbooks.com/books/?book=t...

Rachel, I am curious. Did you expect to love the book because of the author, theme, the writing or for another reason?

Hello Angela! I believe your next must read is How to Stop Time by Matt Haig. It is a very thought-provoking book that will have you in tears but also give you hope. Enjoy!

[OLGA]

Just finished How to Stop Time by Matt Haig and loved it.
I wonder: The curse of immortality…Love or Loneliness?"
It is a very powerful book, and it left me with so much to ponder about life's moments and the meaning of connection.

For anyone who's read it—what did you think? What should I read next that has a similar thoughtful, slightly bittersweet, or time-bending vibe? I love sci-fi that's thought-provoking and philosophical.

Olga, I agree. Originally, sfi-fi's purpose was to wrap its moral message in a story that the powers that be couldn't detect as a criticism of them. The original Godzilla was about the unforeseeable consequences of dropping atomic bombs.

[OLGA]

Hi Andrew! You are absolutely right. Science fiction was a means for writers to critique the problems with society and government policies, in a disguised way, of course. Through sci-fi they could explore controversial or critical ideas without being directly censored or condemned by the authorities and the people in general. This was a means to sneak in social commentary… very clever.

And you're right, as scarry as it sounds Godzilla was created as a metaphor to paint the devastating consequences of
radiation and scientific experimentation ...scary and definitely thought provoking..... In the future we will probably see these creatures everywhere.... mark my word :)

hi Angela, maybe try The End of Mr. Y by Scarlett Thomas. it was pretty good. A non fiction novel that circles around what consciousness is made of. I think some people might think of it as slightly fictional :)

⭐⭐⭐⭐.4 for rural romance and family drama Cockatoo Cove by Maya Linnell https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Tiffany]

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

I am re-reading my book. it has been years since I have read it. It was emotionally painful and caused physical reactions as well (headaches & migraines) to write. However, it was extremely therapeutic and helped me tremendously.

In the first edition, the editor was not on top of things. It was my first book, and I trusted the editor would make it the way it was supposed to be. The editing is embarrassingly horrible, and even though it does not change the story at all, it needed to be fixed. The second print is scheduled for release in a few months, but original copies are available now. I pray and choose faith as I read this again. It is different when it is your own story. I read memoirs all the time, and yes, I feel emotions throughout the story, but never physical. tiffanydeshea,com

Have you read all the Bridgeton books by Julia Quinn or Outlander? Definitely historic romance. Also, The Women is historic fiction with some romance as well as The Tattooist of Auschwitz and it’s 2nd book Cilka’s Journey.
