#WhatchaReading ? I read The Amazing Alpha Tau Boyfriend Project by Lisa Henry, which was very fun, but also made me uncomfortable in a way I find hard to define. Maybe the glorification of the “good” frat house, maybe the familiar humor that sounds more like my friends online than college boys. I’ll probably read the next book though. On KU.
@willaful I’m reading Lisa Peers’ _Love at 350 degrees_, and f/f romance with protagonists over 40, set in the context of a “reality tv” baking competition.
So far it’s so, so good (I’m at 39%)
@willaful I was way down the holds list for Beth O’Leary’s new one, “The Wake-Up Call”, but then it appeared available at another library so I grabbed it. Plot’s just started to get bubbling there. O’Leary’s been hit-or-miss with me in the past; when she’s good, she’s really good, so I’m hopeful. Listening to Tarah DeWitt’s “Rootbound” and waiting to figure out if I like the main characters - not clear yet. @romancelandia @romancebooks
@notTheAudience I have it out but haven’t started yet. Have a lot of seasonal books to read!
@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I just dnf’d Paris Daillencourt Is About to Crumble. Very disappointed, it was funny but just so much anxiety. So I don’t know. Maybe finishing The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen? I kind of drifted away in the middle…
@pretensesoup Ye, I found all that anxiety hard to read as well.
@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks isn’t it hard when you can’t pinpoint why you feel a feeling, just that you do? I get that.
I’m listening to Dax by Sawyer Bennett and reading an ARC of Blood and Bonbons by Melissa Nicole. Early for both, but so far so good.
@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks @lenoreo I’ve had Dax on my TBR for a while, I’ll be curious to hear what you think of it.
@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks
Executive Orders by Tom Clancy, which is also very uncomfortable in the current world, for different reasons than the Henry book!@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks “The Trouble with Trying to Date a Murderer” by Jennifer Cody. This book is BONKERS. It’s set in a universe that I can only describe as “Paranormal John Wick.” If you want “realism”, this is not the book for you. If you want a hilarious paranormal M/M romance grounded in absolutely zero reality, I recommend it!
@PamelaMcMuffin I already had that on my list. 😁
