Hi Mony,

These are fabulous picks. I'm looking forward to cuddling up on the couch with some of these! Enjoy all the reading you do this month.

Aww, that sounds rough! I actually enjoyed An enchantment of ravens, but I agree about Perfect Chemistry! It's one of those books that you either love or hate lol

I thought it reminded me so much of A Court of Thorns and Roses, and since it is one my favorite books, it was disappointing, but I wish I had enjoyed it

Hi KathyD,

Using the series rule, I read Midnight Wild and really enjoyed it. I hope to get to one more pick of yours this month, I'm waiting on Tempt the Boss or Tempt the Hookup to come in from my library ebook selection. I've added a bunch to my tbr for the future too.
Thanks so much for the great picks!

Aww sorry Enchantment of ravens wasn't good for you, it does seem to be a hit or miss.

I adored Heartstopper too! Glad you enjoyed it, such a sweet story 💕
